This film is weird, first we have in front of the only one of the classic monsters who do not necessarily apply the word "monster" to describe it as such, because we only see the mummy in its original and monstrous form the first 5 or 7 minutes of the film, and nor is the most terrifying and murderers. For me the importance of this film lies not so much on what happens during the story but in the idea of the same, its premise, which I must say that is really original, and the interpretation of Karloff whose gaze is really frightening in the close-ups. But from then on, this movie falls into the errors that most of the films of the genre produced by Universal, everything is solved very quickly and the end doesn't have a climax, although here we must applaud the fact that the hero is not so hero and is much more important the role of the lady, on the other hand there are several secondary interpretations that hinder the development of story and this provokes that at some times the story turns monotonous and slow to move after a very good start. In short film is a regular one, with an excellent player and a very creative and original premise.
