This movie is good! I like it. Despite Heston's pathetic attempt at a British accent.

Well, among Bram Stoker's adaptations I liked this one quite well, considering the shortcomings of movie making. Yet, this is still a solid Drama / Horror movie, done with taste and intelligence. It certainly is not a "slasher" as we have become accustomed to these days, but a valid modern Gothic movie. I wonder why it has been sleeping in the vaults for so many years. Perhaps for fear of the curse of Queen Tera?

Heston's supposedly British accent(?) is awful...

I loved the scenes of the Egyptian desert and the Egyptian artifacts and I loved the mysterious, haunting musical score.

Enjoyed it, but I am wondering how the daughter managed to wander about freely after stabbing the shrink to death, (surprising though that their annoying habit of answering questions with another question doesn't provoke more such attacks).

My only thought on the ending, is what is a BC Egyptian gonna do in modern England? Not much, first sign of trouble from her and she will be thrown in the clink or shot. So much for reincarnation...

Thank You so Much!!!! I haven't watched this movie since I was a little girl! This movie started me on my writing fantasy novels.

The sequence from 10:33 onwards is one of the best ever.

Then Zimbalist returns to Los Angeles,and bite into Steele's neck.
