Terrific film. Great performance by Boris Karloff. Being 1932 there are a lot of elements left from the Silent era, so I can see why modern audiences don't get it. A treasure for those that can appreciate classic film.

You watch these old movies and you look at the sets, the use of light and shadow, the murder offscreen but you see it in your mind and you know what happened, and the little details like the dust falling off of the scroll when it’s first opened early in the movie. With a budget of $196,000 ($4.3 million in today’s money) Universal created a classic.

After watching Frankenstein and Dracula, this one is far above them.

"Is it interesting?" This one kept my interest for quite a while, though the editing was a major flaw.
2 out of 3.

"Is it memorable?" If I think of classic monster movies, I will think of this one. Especially the story.

Put it back. Bury it where you found it. You have read the curse. You dare defy it?

"The Mummy" starts off with a bang. Within the first 10 minutes we've already got wide-awake mummy action as Boris Karloff in fully wrapped glory takes the scroll of the dead for his own. This drives the archeologist present in the tomb at the time to go immediately insane. Of course he deserved More
