Director: Seth Holt, Michael Carreras Cast: Andrew Keir, Valerie Leon, James Villiers, Hugh Burden, George Coulouris, Mark Edwards, Rosalie Crutchley, Aubrey Morris, David Markham, Joan Young
Based on Bram Stoker's tale, "Jewel of the Seven Stars," this is a typical Hammer film–but the director, Seth Holt, died shortly before completion of the film. An archeologist (Andrew Keir) searches for, and finds, the tomb of a wicked Egyptian queen. The sarcophagus is taken to London where it is noted that the queen is perfectly preserved. His daughter now appears to have inherited the wicked traits of the queen, and revenge for defiling the tomb begins. Remade as "The Awakening."

| | Anonymous 03/25/2007 | | I love this movie. The story is true as are the characters. It's hard to believe that this woman who was told she didn't qualify to be a missionary to China could accomplish such a mission. She was truly a great woman. Considered an ugly duckling by some, she still manages to find love with a Eurasian soldier. |
