I have a lot of admiration for this being probably the first mummy movie. It had to have been a new concept which may not have been considered by viewers fit in the horror genre. As far as good things go, the actors portrayal of their characters are great. The beginning and end are the best parts, and that says a lot about how I felt about the rest. Given the fact that this was a year after Frankenstein was released, I would have liked to see Frankenstein do much of the same as he did in his first horror role. I haven't seen the rest of the Mummy sequels, but I do know they fit more into the slasher genre. I can't help thinking I would've like to see Karloff more in the bandaged outfit, and thinking about what could've been makes me disappointed. That shouldn't suggest I don't like Karloff's acting though. It's amazing.
