Blood From The Mummy's Tomb 1971.
An archaeological dig bring back the sarcophagus of an Egyptian queen which slowly posses the daughter of one of the men.
This is not the best film by hammer horror studios, Andrew Kier (Quatermass) plays the leader of the expedition Feuchs who uncovers the tomb. James Villiers (For Your Eyes Only) plays Corbeck, who seems to want to awaken Queen Tera. Valerie Leon (Carry on Movies) plays the dual role of the possessed daughter Margaret and Tera.
Based on the novel The Jewel of Seven stars by Bram Stoker, the film seems to drag on very slowly and very little suspense, there isn't any dark gothic/atmosphere that's usually suited with Hammer. There is some delightful colours associated with Egypt, Hieroglyphics and paintings of the tomb gods, the only real good moments were from Valerie Leon. 4-5 out of 10.
