"Admittedly, modern audiences are likely to be underwhelmed by the moments of horror but some of the imagery is highly effective and occasional shock moments are still quite effecting. Credit should certainly go to whoever had the brilliant idea to black out Tom Tyler's eyes – it makes the Mummy far more disturbing than in any of the other films of the period and the result, combined with Tyler's shambling walk (exacerbated by arthritis), is memorably disquieting. Consequently, if you stick with the rather slow and annoyingly unfunny first half, you'll find yourself well rewarded and the final third of the film is certainly up there with Universal's best moments." - Mike Sutton, The Digital Fix
