9.5/10. The best interpretation of The Mummy ever told. Sir Christopher Lee plays a better mummy than Boris Karloff I felt. He plays the mummy in a sympathetic way whose only crime was love for a princess, forbidden by ancient Egyptian society. Peter Cushing's also brilliant as the hero trying to foil the mummy and the real villain who controls him for murderous purposes. Hammer Studios did a better job with The Mummy than Universal Studios did 20 years earlier. One great scene is the mummy sinking into a bog and perhaps reuniting with his love in the afterlife.
