Blood from the Mummys Tomb.

A bunch of archaologists discover the tomb of an evil queen Tera, who is still perfectly preserved minus a hand. and her spirit possesses the newly born daughter of the leader of the expedition professor Fuchs(Andrew Kier). And twenty years later strange things start to happen, involving Egyptian artifacts and with the deaths of the archaologists.

Not a bad effort at all despite there being no actual bandaged mummy on the rampage as usual, although that does make a refreshing change. and who needs a traditional mummy when you have the busty Valerie Leon instead in her fetching night gowns?
And apart from the obvious appeal of Miss Leons charms, is it also quite atmospheric with nice sets and music as well eventhough it is a little slow at times. Just a shame that the great Peter cushing had to pull out of the role as the professor due to his wife taking ill at the time. but nevertheless, Andrew Kier still does an okay job.

A solid Hammer film indeed from The Nanny director Seth Holt, who sadly died while making the film. 78 out of 100.
