Final entry in Universal’s Mummy series doesn’t offer much freshness outside of the Louisiana swamp setting but does contain an admittedly creepy scene of the bog-lady-like Princess Ananka returning from the dead. Twenty-five years after Kharis met his quicksand ending in The Mummy’s Ghost, an irrigation project in the bayou unearths rumors of the mummy returning and shambling around the swamplands. Two doctors arrive from the museum to find the remains of Kharis and Ananka and return them to be displayed and studied. The Egyptian doctor, Zandaab, is one of the long line of head priests and before you know it Kharis is up and at it once more. Ananka awakens as well but thanks to the regenerative powers of the sun and a quick march through water, she comes back looking much better than her decrepit lover. Ananka (the incredibly hot Virginia Christine) eventually joins up with Dr. Halsey from the museum and this brings everyone on a collision course with Kharis. It’s the same damn plot as all the others but offers enough mummy action in its one hour runtime to be inoffensive.
