A small archeological party headed by Sir Basil Walden (Andre Morell) discover the hidden tomb of Kah-to-Bey. Despite a warning from the wild-eyed guardian, Hasmid Ali (Roger Delgado), they take Kah-to-Bey to Cairo and place him next to the mummy of Prem, his devoted slave and protector. The mystical hieroglyphic shroud that covers Kah-to-Bey's body is read aloud by Ali and restores Prem to life resulting in an unstoppable progression of madness, mystery and murder.

I actually like the modern mummy flicks much better, even if it's just American entertainment. The older Hammer films are characterized by being repetitive, having minimal scenes with the mummy itself, and ultimately, they're not even that much of a horror. The Mummy's Shroud is no exception to this. However, the final scene with the mummy's death is well-executed. It is very good in terms of special effects.
