Review:

This is a classic for a reason and still to this day  is the best mummy picture of all (IMO). Everything about this is at top performance even for this day in age. This movie is all atmosphere. The detail of focusing on Karloff's eyes and the way he pulled off the threatening character carry this film. To me this is the best of the classic horror genre.

Review:

 Throughout the years, there has been quite a few monster vs. monster horror films; Freddie vs. Jason, Dracula vs, Werewolf and so on. Finally we get Frankenstein vs. the Mummy.

Throughout the film, the storytellers go back and forth with the telling of both creatures. Showing how they are interwined. Untill finally they meet and clash.

The effects are all partical throughout until the very end with one cgi (poorly done) effect. And were pretty good with the exception of Frankenstein's body and face beings two totally different colors and the cgi at the end. The title may make it sound a bit on the campy side but it is anything but. The storyline, plot, acting and most effects are right on point. I would recommend this to anyone to watch not just horror fans. If I had a star system this would get 4 out of 5 stars. ( which I'm starting to think itsn't a bad idea)
