The Awakening. 1980.

A archaeologist in Egypt uncovers a tomb of a Egyptian Queen, when he opens the tomb his wife goes into labour. When their daughter reaches her teen years they uncover that the spirit of the Egyptian queen has possessed the daughter.

This was a modern remake of Blood from The Mummy's Tomb based on the Bram Stoker novel, this time Charlton Heston takes the lead as the archaeologist. It's a nicely shot atmospheric film even though it may seem a bit slow it is entertaining right up to the climatic end. I have seen this once before in the late 80s early 90s and it is one I will happily watch again.
