Kharis is Back For Revenge
'The Mummy's Tomb'(1942) is a good sequel to 'The Mummy's Hand' (1940). The first few minutes of 'The Mummy's Tomb' is spent going over what happened in 'The Mummy's Hand' that your memory is re-freshened if you have not seen the previous film in awhile or will help you to follow the film if you have not seen the previous one. It's a good way to start a film - in particular the fact the movies where two years apart.
This film features Lon Chaney, Jr in the role of The Mummy Kharis whereas the film before it Tom Tyler played the part. Both are good as The Mummy - it's a quiet role, no lines but all physical acting - one is just as good as the other.
With the Kharis series, it's a matter of story in these films and not so much The Mummy himself (Minus the Boris Karloff Mummy 1932 which is a stand alone film).
Overall The Mummy's Tomb is a fun and entertaining film.
7.5/10
