Rating:  - RUSHED MUMMY OUTING IS ENJOYABLE! BUT, GLAD IT'S THE LAST IN THE SERIES!
Where do I begin? This is a fun movie but, Universal was beating this Mummy story to death at this point! They didn't even respect their audience's intelligence when they had the Mummy and his princess sink in a swamp in Mapleton MA in the previous film and then miraculously rise from a swamp in Louisiana in this one! The temple where the high priest performs his rituals seems oddly out of place too. I guess these films were made for 12 year olds and under so, it's not to be taken too seriously. ... Read More
Rating:  - My mummy's back and you're going to be in trouble
Yep, this time we have Louisiana Gypsies (oh! are those supposed to be Cajuns?). They are hired to drain the swamp. Yes the swamp containing Kharis (Lon Chaney Jr.) and his dirty girl, Princess Ananka (Virginia Christine.) Naturally no one believes the tale until someone ends up with knife in the back.
Poor Kharis is a bit slow; he is always in the process of killing whoever gets in his way, meanwhile the girl sneaks out each time. Will Kharis ever figure out that if he went for the ... Read More
Rating: - THE FINAL UNIVERSAL MUMMY MOVIE!!!
In the Mummy's Curse we are treated to an odd bit of Universal continuity craziness...in previous movie the mummy disappeared under the swampy waters in Mapleton, MA..only to reappear in the swamps of Louisiana!!! Wow! what a trip!
Well we have a new high priest of Arkam who attempts to find the bodies of Kharis and the reincarnated Ananka and return them to Egypt. Peter Coe plays the high priest Zandaab aided by his servant Ragheb.
Oddly enough they find a very gothic ... Read More
Rating: - The Mummy's Final Universal Feature
"The Mummy's Curse", was the last of the four Mummy films that Universal released in the early 1940's and coming hot on the heels of their previous release "The Mummy's Ghost", this installment suffered a little from the feeling that alot that was covered in its story had been done effectively before. While all the Universal Mummy films indeed have a familiar feel to their storylines this last film still managed to keep a little individuality to it and certainly contained a couple of startling scenes ...

Rating: - The mummy's on the loose and he's dancin' with the devil
Universal had pretty much milked the whole Kharis the mummy thing dry by the time this fourth and final Kharis movie was released in 1944. Even Lon Chaney doesn't seem to care a whole lot about the project as he slides and stumbles his plodding way through the swamps of Louisiana. It's really best not to question how Kharis and the ancient Egyptian princess Ananka wound up buried in a swamp in Cajun country; just accept it and go from there. Ananka, once she rises from the muck and gets herself cleaned ... Read More
