The Mummy's Hand (1940)

The First of the Kharis Series


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
