Plot:
When a cursed Egyptian sarcophagus falls into corrupt hands, the new owner becomes obsessed with the perfectly preserved mummified princess contained within and concocts a scheme to bring her back to life, but to do so requires human blood. Joining up with his medical student cousin, the duo undertake horrific experiments that inadvertently unleash pure evil…
Our review:
There’s not much horror in Steve Lawson’s The Mummy: Resurrection. However, as with his other recent productions, it’s still fairly entertaining despite the obvious low budget (a CGI house is obviously fake).
Drama combines with dark comedy, most of which is supplied by Chris Bell’s character (he’s also in Lawson’s Ripper films). There are some points about 19th-century class conflict and double standards that are still relevant today with the offensively outdated British monarchy and pathetically privileged House of Lords.
Don’t go into this expecting to see much of a female mummy horror and you might enjoy the lightweight comedic shenanigans on show.

Other reviews:
“Like pretty much all of Lawson’s latter ‘costume’ horrors, the actual ‘horror’ in The Mummy Resurrection is rather restrained (and in this case almost restricted to the last few minutes) […] The cast is all on fine form, although Lawson regular Chris Bell is especially unctuous as the conniving Everett. It’s a handsome-looking piece with enough narrative twists and turns to keep it interesting…” Dark Eyes of London
“Despite my over-familiarity with the look of the movie, there is something of a guilty pleasure to be had watching it. The performances were perfectly suited, Bell, in particular, played his role well, but the plot was a little silly, and it was mainly light on any type of horror.” 6 out of 10, The Rotting Zombie
