The premise

Two Egyptologists, Professor Fuchs and Corbeck, are instrumental in unleashing unmitigated horror by bringing back to England the mummified body of Tara, the Egyptian Queen of Darkness. Fuchs’s daughter becomes involved in a series of macabre and terrifying incidents, powerless against the forces of darkness, directed by Corbeck, that are taking possession of her body and soul to fulfill the ancient prophesy that Queen Tara will be resurrected to continue her reign of unspeakable evil.

Horror Vault's take

When two Egyptologists smuggle the mummified remains of Tera, a legendary Queen of Darkness, back to England, they set in motion a creeping supernatural nightmare decades in the making. The professor's daughter finds herself increasingly entangled in strange and deadly events she cannot explain or escape. As the boundary between her identity and something far older begins to blur, the true purpose behind the expedition becomes horrifyingly clear. This Hammer production trades bandaged shambling for something far more insidious — an ancient evil that works through the living.
