1921 London: a debunker of fake mediums is asked to investigate a haunting at a boys’ school. Autumnal and good-looking psychological thriller: it takes a hard left turn late on that requires a huge leap of faith, but there’s plenty in the first hour especially to please subgenre fans. No relation to the 1980 flick of the same name.
Here’s the trailer.
An Egyptologist becomes obsessed with a tomb discovery. Stolid adaptation of Stoker’s The Jewel of Seven Stars, here retooled to emulate the success of The Omen series. Great Jack Cardiff cinematography and some keen location work, and it’s good to see Heston in unsympathetic mode, but this a duff, unscary movie nevertheless. Blood From The Mummy’s Tomb is another version.
Here’s the trailer.
