Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

jacobjohntaylor1 A classic horror film. That is really very scary. It not a sequel to The Mummy. Not really. But it very scary. The Mummy's Tomb is scarier. The Mummy's ghost is also scarier. The Mummy's Cures is also scarier. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. 6.1 is a good ratting. But this is such a great movie that 6.1 it underrating. This is a 9. See this movie. It this movie does not scary no movie will. Christy Cabanne was a great director. This is one of his best movies. See it. This is is scarier then The Shining and this not easy to do.

Rainey Dawn The Mummy's Hand is not the sequel to Boris Karloff's The Mummy (1932) but rather a different film and the first of a series of Mummy films surrounding Kharis. The opening of the film however is a kind of throwback or reminder of Karloff's Mummy film but this film and the Kharis series has no direct relation to the original Universal film.The Mummy's Hand is not a comedy-horror but there is plenty of comedy in the film to have you giggling quite a bit.The story is fine, acting good, sets are great. Overall it's a fun and entertaining horror-adventure film. Although it's not overly scary the film is definitely a horror film.8/10

utgard14 The first in Universal's fun Kharis the mummy series. The plot is about a couple of archaeologists (Dick Foran and comic relief Wallace Ford) teaming with a magician and his daughter (Cecil Kellaway, Peggy Moran) to search for the tomb of the Egyptian princess Ananka. But George Zucco is entrusted to guard the tombs of Egypt and uses the living mummy Kharis (Tom Tyler) to try and stop the outsiders. Often referred to as a sequel to The Mummy, it's really not despite the use of stock footage from that film. The mummy character and his lost love are given different names in this one. Instead of Imhotep we now have Kharis and instead of Ankh-es-en-amon we have Ananka. Also, now instead of the mummy himself being in control of his actions, he's now controlled by George Zucco through use of tana leaves.The cast is great, with Foran and Ford surprisingly likable heroes. I say surprisingly because both men were hit or miss with me in some of their earlier work in the 1930s. Cecil Kellaway is always enjoyable. Peggy Moran is lovely and has a badass moment or two before becoming the damsel in distress. Tom Tyler is no Boris Karloff but the role really requires very little that a stuntman couldn't do. Tyler would go on to be in the Captain Marvel and Phantom serials, which are great fun. The real star of the film is horror legend George Zucco. He's one of those great old stars that made movies better just by his presence. He's awesome in this.While none of the Kharis series ever matched the original Mummy's quality, they do bring more action and humor to the table. Oh, and more mummy as well since Karloff's bandaged mummy only appears briefly in that film. In this series, the mummy is front and center throughout. This first film in the series is the best. It's a fantastic, old-fashioned horror-adventure film that young and old alike can enjoy. If you're a fan of Universal horror films like me, movies like this are a real treat and have immense rewatchability.

Ben Larson We again return to Anaka and Kharis, and even have Zita Johann and Boris Karloff shown archive footage from their 1932 roles.But, they don't recreate the same story here. First, they bring in Dick Foran and Wallace Ford to ham it up. We'll likely find more comedy than horror.Secondly, without the CGI and stupendous special effects of the 1999 story, it was still enjoyable. Sometimes those things just get in the way.Lastly, there was a very good story here, and the acting was not bad. After all, you had a twice nominated Oscar actor here in the person of Cecil Kellaway.Worth the time.
