The Mummy. 1959.

In 1895 a small expedition find the tomb of Egyptian Princess Ananka and accidentally awaken the her High Priest. 1898 back in England The High Priest is seeking revenge with help of a follower.

This was another great piece from Hammer Horror with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing with Terence Fisher at the helm, nobody would win a academy award for this but you can't help notice the colourful sets of the tomb and the interiors of the houses and the gloomy atmosphere over the bog at the end of movie. Even the climatic end always made me sit on the edge of my seat no matter how many times I watch it.
