The premise

Those who have interfered with the Tomb of Ra-Antef are in terrible danger. Against expert advice, American showman and financial backer of the expedition, Alexander King, plans a world tour exhibiting this magnificent discovery from the ancient world but on the opening night the sarcophagus is void of its contents. The mummy has escaped to fulfill the dreadful prophesy and exact a violent and bloody revenge on all those who defiled his final resting place.

Horror Vault's take

When a British expedition unseals the ancient tomb of Ra-Antef, they unleash far more than history — they invite a curse that refuses to stay buried. An ambitious American showman pushes to parade the discovery before the world as a spectacle, ignoring every warning from those who know better. Set against the gaslit atmosphere of turn-of-the-century Europe, the film builds dread as members of the expedition begin to pay a grim price. This Hammer-era entry delivers classic monster menace wrapped in period Gothic atmosphere.
