4.0 out of 5 stars What a Beautiful Mummy!, October 23, 2001
By Brad Baker (Atherton, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Anchor Bay has just released Hammer's Technicolor "Blood from the Mummy's Tomb" on DVD. The disc is 1:78:1 aspect ratio anamorphic. It stars curvaceous Valerie Leon, Andrew Kier, and George Coulouris. Based on Bram Stoker's "Jewel of the Seven Stars", Hammer's "Blood from the Mummy's Tomb" has divided horror fans over the years, many finding it confusing and dull. A group of Egyptologists discover the tomb of an evil queen. A girl is born to the wife of the expedition's leader at the exact moment of the discovery. It becomes evident that she has inherited the beauty and soul of the mummy. This strikes terror into all the archaelogists, as one by one they are gruesomely murdered. Two tragic deaths occurred during filming of "Blood". First, Peter Cushing, originally cast as Professor Fuchs, bowed out after one day's work due to his wife's failing health. Sadly, she died shortly thereafter. Secondly, 47 year-old director Seth Holt died of a heart attack before shooting was completed. Hammer Film chief Michael Carreras finished the film. His work is uncredited. Perhaps a mish-mash of footage from two directors, the final product lacks cohesive visual style. Jumpy hand-held close-ups and giant wind machines simulate visits by unseen forces. The sloppy car-crash and death scene of boyfriend Tod Browning(the character's name no coincidence as a reference to the "Dracula" director) reveal little imagination. The first-rate picture quality of the DVD features an attractive 16:9 transfer of the uncut British version. Extras include "Curse of Blood from the Mummy's Tomb", a documentary running 9:27 minutes, a British trailer, a U.S. TV spot, two radio spots and a still gallery. Hidden on the Extras Menu is an Easter Egg: Shift to the right and highlight the red ring held by actor Hugh Burden. Press enter and view 8 stills of Peter Cushing from his single day of work on the film. They've never been seen before. Finally, Anchor Bay is including a bonus disc with the first 10,000 copies sold: "The Hammer Trailer Collection". "Blood from the Mummy's Tomb" was the 4th and final Hammer Mummy film. It was released in 1971 on a double-bill with "Night of the Blood Monster" starring Christopher Lee.

4.0 out of 5 stars The masters of Hammer's Vault of Horror are at it again..., July 23, 2002
By Patrick Selitrenny (Switzerland a.k.a. Helvetia Felix) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Throughout the years Hammer Films meant quality horror pictures.

Spanning more than a decade these tiny jewels had true gothic flair.

Made on very tight budgets and at lightning speeds they swiftly outran equivalent products from Hollywood.

Who has forgotten Christopher Lee's Dracula or Peter Cushing's Baron Frankenstein?

The glory came to Hammer when in the late fifties, they produced the remakes of "The Mummy", "Frankenstein" (as "Curse of Frankenstein") and "Dracula" (as "Horror of Dracula").

In the years that followed a number of sequels of these remakes followed, starting with the Frankenstein series and followed by the Dracula series. They all were more or less good or successful but gained a horde of loyal fans and this fact alone made the fortune of Hammer Films.

The Mummy instead, a bit like the title role, limped slowly behind. The first one was a lavish remake of Boris Karloff's version. The ones which followed were decaying with the mummy.

Starting with "Curse of the Mummy's Tomb" (1964) which was more a parody than anything else, through "The Mummy's Shroud" (1967) which was a poor attempt at combining the Fantasy genre (witches and curses in fairytales) to the Horror of the Mummy, to a last, and may I say, better attempt which is the one I am reviewing now: "Blood from the Mummy's Tomb" (1972).

Strangely enough, this one was released at a time when Hammer was already on the way to its decline (see the flops with "The Satanic Rites of Dracula" (1973) and "The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires" (1974)).

As many other reviewers stated, this one was very loosely adapted from a Bram Stoker's short Novel. It seems to have worked, also because the Mummy is for once a woman, not a man, but can be as deadly if not more lethal than a man.

The acting is always discreet and well balanced.

The strange thing with Hammer movies is that they always included the best the British stage world had to offer. Besides the names already mentioned, you had Geoffrey Keen, Ralph Bates, Andre Morell, Martine Beswick, Thorley Walters, Joan Fontaine, Kay Walsh, Alec McCowen among others.

They all made fantastic careers afterwards or revived their images courtesy of Hammer.

If you are a Hammer Horror fan this movie is a must. If you're new to Hammer I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the very first ones and move on from there.

In any case it's always a pleasure to watch them. Their gothic flair, being gory to a point but always with taste and never hitting you with cheap thrills but rather building a momentum to the point you can't stand the tension anymore and then swiftly changing mood to alleviate your nerve tingling, are all points in favor of the Hammer Saga of Success.

There are just two choices for Horror/Fantasy movies of the sixties: Hammer Films or Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe's adaptations, starring the late, but highly talented Vincent Price

I only hope we could get back to that freshness and yes, the naivete', that was the Hammer/Corman style.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hammer ups the ante in delivering the chills, April 13, 2003
By BD Ashley "vidiot_y2k" (Otago, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This classic Hammer horror, based on Bram Stoker's novel "Jewel Of Seven Stars" is perhaps most famous for the deaths of director Seth Holt and the wife of Peter Cushing, the movie's original lead- which inevitably led to reports of a curse on the production. Strangely this is R18 in NZ/Australia despite being PG in the US. BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB is pretty gory for its time, maybe Hammer studios felt Herschell Gordon Lewis had been stealing some of their thunder so they countered this with classier, big budget bloodletting.
The plot revolves around archeologist Dr. Fuchs (Andrew Keir) who steals a ring of the Seven Stars from an Egyptian tomb. The only problem is it belonged to a Queen, and whoever wears the ring can bring death upon unsuspecting persons by gorily slashing their throats. Fuchs gives the ring to his sexy daughter Margaret (Valerie Leon) as a gift. Unfortunately, the ring causes her to have nightmares; one of which features Queen Tera's severed hand being mauled by dogs; but still crawling along by itself with the precious ring still attached! Ironically, Margaret also has a scar encircling her wrist. Coincidence? Or could she be the reincarnation of Queen Tera?
BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB is one of the best and obviously most notorious of Hammer's horror pictures. There's some great camera work, especially in the classic scene where an old geezer in a mental hospital is menaced by demonic forces. Valerie Leon's voluptuous breasts give two mesmirising supporting performances. She just oozes sex appeal. Followed by a feeble remake in 1980, THE AWAKENING starring Charlton Heston and Stephanie Zimbalist from TV's REMINGTON STEELE. Watch this instead. You''ll find it much more rewarding.
