These Mummy films are getting progressively worse. Ten to fifteen minutes of earlier Mummy films are used in this dog.

Just isn't that much fun, even when it is enjoyably weird.

I don't think the people who made The Mummy's Curse understood how to make a sequel. I'm not even sure they watched the previous movies in the Kharis series. Not only do they do another unnecessary time jump, but then they also, for some reason, switch the location from Mapleton, Massachusetts to somewhere in a southern bayou. Plus, they use clips from the previous movies and really long waking & walking scenes to pad the runtime of this 63-minute feature while treading along the exact same path we've seen three times before. It's like they weren't even trying to make a good horror film anymore.

It's literally the same movie as The Mummy's Ghost. Not less not much.

One of the worst and dumbest horror films ever made.

Probably the best movie in the Lon Chaney trilogy but it's still a bad B movie with lazy use of stock footage, cheap makeup, forgettable writing and cheesy acting

Just more Mummy junk. It's become a little too predictable and a little too dull for my tastes. But if you enjoyed the last couple, it's a fitting close.

The official conclusion of the Kharis story, which had dominated all but the first film in Universal's Mummy franchise. On the same level as the previous films.
