Weirdo piece of Eurotrash sustains itself with an oddball score and a Franco-esque dream quality throughout its 82 minute runtime. The Earl of Dartmoor has found a perfectly preserved Egyptian prince inside of a recently discovered sarcophagus. After reading a manuscript found with the mummy, he learns that he can revive the Liza-Minnelli-looking prince with a mixture of copper and zinc. He soon realizes (as most people in his position do) that bringing the dead back to life never really works in one’s favor. The mummy uses his hypnotic powers to enslave the Earl’s loyal servant. Now locked up in his castle’s dungeon, the Earl can only stand by helpless as the revived prince feeds on the blood of various young women collected by the servant. Things go from bad to worse when the Earl’s pretty young daughter returns to the family castle along with her lovely friend. It’s cheap and slow moving but I’ll be damned if I wasn’t intrigued the whole time. There’s no bandages but there is an Egyptian prince riding a horse in the Spanish countryside and a severed hand moving about and getting whipped. I loved it, but I also feel like I should have hated it. Take that as you will.
