Starring: Boris Karloff, Zita Johann, David Manners
Director: Karl Freund
Runtime: 1 hour, 13 minutes
Fantasy | Horror | 1932

My first question about The Mummy is, how is so so eerily similar to Dracula? I mean all the aspects I noticed in Dracula happened in The Mummy. The two films have different stars (other than David Manners who doesn’t play a leading role really) and two different directors. I’m just baffled by the similarities.

Similarity #1: Staring mysteriously and longingly into the camera.
Similarity #2: Long, quiet scenes that have little to no dialogue.
Similarity #3: The monster raises his arm to hypnotize victims.
I couldn't find any pictures of this one from The Mummy. But if you watch both movies you'll totally see the similarity! 

Similarity #4: The monster stands over a woman who lays in bed. ​
For the most part, I liked the screenplay and the storyline of this film. It was a lot better than the one that came out this year starring Tom Cruise. Thank goodness we aren’t watching that as this film’s newer counterpart.

Boris Karloff stars as the Mummy, aka Ardath Bey or Imhotep. In the end, he just wanted his loved one back from the dead so he casted a spell to make a living woman (played by Zita Johann) that the sole can take refuge inside.

This movie was much more exciting that Dracula, but still not exciting enough to get a good rating from me. I loved Johann in this film and I also liked the ending. Reminding me a lot of the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde movie with how the face changed on screen. I’m going to give The Mummy and “okay” rating. Can’t wait to watch the Brendan Fraser version! (2/5)
