The Mummy's Ghost (1944)

- written August 2008

Summary: Yousef Bay, a follower of the cult of Akran, is sent to the USA to bring back the mummy of Kharis’s beloved Princess Ananka. In Mapleton, Egyptologist Professor Matthew Norman succeeds in reviving and Kharis with the burning of tana leaves but is then killed by him. As the police begin a manhunt to stop Kharis, Yousef Bay and Kharis break into the museum and conduct a ceremony to raise Ananka. But instead this causes Ananka’s spirit to inhabit the body of Amina Mansori. They now set out to kidnap Amina and taken her back to Egypt.           Overall: The same basic plot with same basic scenes involving leaves and resurrecting and killings. The ending was something different for once and frankly, really got my attention. But the script was bad, acting was dreadful and really not worth watching. And many of the night scenes were really just day scenes with some dark cover. Too obvious though! And a mummy in cornfields???? Really?           Comparison: The Mummy meets Field of Dreams
