Blood From The Mummy’s Tomb (1971, dir. Seth Holt [and Michael Carreras])

The daughter of an Egyptologist is being groomed as a reincarnation of a deity. Claustrophobic adaptation of Stoker’s The Jewel of Seven Stars. Alternately tatty, mod, and mesmerising, the film has effective elements and a fun cast, while working with clearly restricted resources. The Awakening is another version.

Here’s the trailer.
