Good ol' mummy

Rating: Null/10 (7 May 1999)

It has everything -- chills, spills, laughs, scares.
The FX are impressive and effective not only for the mummy but also for the recreation of ancient Egypt. Fraser is the dashing hero who doesn't take himself too seriously. The Jerry Goldsmith score is appropriately atmospheric and impressive.
It won't make people forget Boris Karloff, but the film is a worthy descendant of the old classic Universal horror films.
