GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

poe-48833 Well above average mummy movie; perhaps second only to THE MUMMY with Boris Karloff, PHARAOH'S CURSE doesn't drag (...). The performances all around are solid, the story's good and the pacing excellent. Even the mummy itself is unique (with the notable exception of LA MOMIA AZTECA, this is the ONLY deviation from the Original Look that I know of); the makeup is simple but effective- and the arm that snaps off is even creepier (especially when it's being whittled down to the bone). The lovely Egyptian woman wandering the desert was a nice touch: it lent an almost fairytale feel to the proceedings. PHARAOH'S CURSE is yet another of those Oldies But Goodies that deserves some Love.

Michael O'Keefe There is always something mysterious about searching for ancient Egyptian tombs and PHARAOH'S CURSE has everything you waited for at a Saturday matinée. Typical strange things begin to happen when a crew of archaeologists led by Professor Quentin(George N. Neise)start an excavation of an area suspect of a buried tomb. No sooner than a mummy's sarcophagus is opened, death makes its rounds. A wandering local named Simira(Ziva Rodann) forecasts the doom, but no one wants to listen seriously. A British Captain Storm(Mark Dane)has escorted Quentin's wife Sylvia(Diane Brewster)to the excavation site. Her trip doesn't appear to be for love, but her husband's situation. Creepy and predictable; but not a waste of time. Other players: Terrance De Marney, Richard Peel, Guy Prescott and Alvaro Guillot.

preppy-3 An expedition led by hunky Captain Storm (Mark Dana) travels to the Valley of the Kings in Cairo to find out what happened to an earlier expedition. They meet beautiful mysterious Simira (Ziva Rodann) who joins them. They soon find themselves faced with a blood drinking mummy...and only Simira seems to know what's going on.A real snoozer. I caught this on late night TV when I was about 10. It put me to sleep! Seeing it again all these years later I can see why. It's slow-moving, the mummy doesn't even show up until 40 minutes in (and this is only 66 minutes long!), the acting ranges from bad (Dana) to REAL bad (George N. Neise) and there's no violence or blood to be found. This movie concentrates more on second rate dramatics (involving a silly love triangle) than horror.This rates three stars because it actually looks pretty good, everyone plays it straight, there's some good acting from Diane Brewster, it's short and the mummy attack scenes (all three of them) aren't bad. They're not scary just mildly creepy. Still, this movie is pretty bad. A sure fire cure for insomnia.

Chukar I saw this film when I was just a little kid. I saw it close to the time that I saw "Curse of the Demon," and thoughout my life I always wondered if these two films were real films or some kind of nightmare I remembered that I just thought were movies. I found "Curse of The Demon" a few years ago for sale, and I was able to record "Curse of the Pharaoh" about a year ago when it was shown uncut and without commercial breaks on the Tele.Now, as a grownup, I have a little of a hard time finding just what scared me so awfully much in "Curse of the Pharaoh." I guess I was very young at the time. However, I still rate the film as better than most others rate it and have watched it about four times since I recorded it. That compares with many of the new films on DVD that I have watched on once after purchasing them. Perhaps it is just that I remember it as such a good film from when I was little, but I still enjoy it today. Many of the early "classic" horror films are not as scary as it is, and they certainly move even slower. I feel that the audience for a good mummy film was not there when it was released back in the late 50's.In closing, I can truthfully say that I enjoy an average horror film much more than an average film of any other genre. I can spend a whole evening watching horror and mystery movies. How weird?
