Director Karl Freund mostly worked as a cinematographer, and had a career which stretched from silent films to "I Love Lucy," where he created the sitcom camera configuration used today. Freund was a master of visuals, and with "The Mummy" creates an atmospheric masterpiece, with beautifully filmed scenes of ancient and modern (1932) Egypt. Sets and costumes are top-notch. You can almost feel the dust in the air.Boris Karloff and Jack Pierce again team up to create a classic monster. Karloff only appears briefly in full mummy makeup, but those moments are wonderful and quite effective. It is as modern (1932) incarnation Ardath Bey, that Karloff and Pierce reach their peak. Made up to look two thousand years old, Karloff combines evil and pathos as lovelorn monster, Ardath Bey. Stage actress Zita Johann makes a beautiful counterpoint to Karloff, as the intended object of Bey's affection.I'll be the first one to say that old movies aren't for everybody. This movie is from the dawn of the sound era and has some ridiculous overacting by lesser players, and some stagey moments that slow the pace of the film. However, if you are willing to let yourself be taken in by the dream-like aura of this movie, you will find that "The Mummy" well deserves its place in the Pantheon of classic horror movies.I've owned "The Mummy" in most of its different media incarnations: VHS, DVD, iPad, and now Blu-ray, This version has been remastered, and is clearly the best visually. The sound quality is similar to that of the DVD. One is stuck with the quality from the original sound track, which is from the early days of movie sound recording. The Blu-ray has a number of features, most of which were also available on the DVD, as well as a number of commentaries.If you are a fan of old movies, "The Mummy" is a worthwhile addition to your Blu-ray library. If you already have the DVD, this Blu-ray will offer an improved picture and a few extra features and commentaries at a pretty reasonable price. If you like well-composed, beautifully lit, artfully designed (and completely artificial) sets, this movie will deliver. But if you aren't a fan of classic films from the early sound period, you will probably want to stay away. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding *by R***O on May 6, 2025* Great ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This 1931 original with Karloff and Edward van Sloan is still the best *by N***P on October 16, 2023* Woody Allen wisely fought against the ghastly practice of colorizing original black/white film, and rightly so.Hollywood (back then) understood how to use the monochrome medium to its best effect and convincingly derive both brooding and bright atmospheric sceneries and achieve the desired emotional response from the viewer.The plots and acting may be cliché and hokey by todays standards, but Edward van Sloan is as immortal as Mr. Muller or Prof. van Helsing as Bela Lugosi was to Dracula.The scene of Ardath Bey's temple and the enchanted pool is priceless, along with his monologue describing the details of his ghastly past.I'll take this any day to the CGI saturated Stephen Sommers, Mummy franchise that spans the years 1999 - 2008. Aside from being box office block-busters, these films are admittedly entertaining and have their moments, but like most successful modern franchises, they run their course and become silly and tiresome. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/40388139-the-mummy-vhs](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/40388139-the-mummy-vhs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
