The swan song for director Seth Holt (who died shortly before filming was completed), this stylish Hammer production transcends its low budget thanks to lush photography, a stylish look, and fine performances from the leads. The plot, adapted from Bram Stoker's novel The Jewel of the Seven Stars, involves an expedition led by Professor Fuchs (Andrew Keir) to find{Ziyuantun.Com} the cursed tomb of an evil Egyptian princess. Upon discovery of her sarcophagus, Fuchs finds her perfectly preserved, still-bleeding severed hand -- which also sports a dazzling ruby ring. Several years later, Fuchs gives the pilfered ring to his voluptuous young daughter Margaret (Valerie Leon), whereupon she slowly begins to take on the malevolent traits of its original wearer, seeking revenge for the defilement of her tomb. Though Christopher Wicking's adaptation of Stoker's obscure novel is a bit uneven, it still provides ample suspense and the production has an overall richness that captures the flavor of Hammer's other mummy projects. Remade eight years later (with less effective results) as The Awakening; traces of the same story can also be found in Universal's 1999 mega-budget version The Mummy. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide 译文(2): 这是导演赛斯 · 霍尔特(他在电影拍摄结束前不久去世)的最后一首歌，这部时尚的汉默制作超越了它的低成本，这要归功于丰富的摄影，时尚的外观和主角精彩的表{资源屯-ziyuantun.com}。故事情节改编自布拉姆 · 斯托克的小说《七星之珠》 ，讲述了福克斯教授(安德鲁 · 凯尔饰)带领一支探险队寻找一位邪恶的埃及公主被诅咒的坟墓的故事。在发现她的石棺时，福克斯发现了她保存完好、仍在流血的断手——手上还戴着一枚耀眼的红宝石戒指。几年之后，福克斯把这枚被盗的戒指交给了他性感的小女儿玛格丽特(瓦莱丽 · 莱昂饰) ，于是她慢慢地开始具有原来佩戴者的邪恶特征，为玷污她的坟墓寻求报复。虽然克里斯托弗 · 威克对斯托克这部晦涩小说的改编有点不平衡，但它仍然提供了足够的悬念，而且制作的整体丰富性捕捉到了汉默其他木乃伊项目的味道。八年后重拍(效果较差)的《觉醒》 ; 同样的故事也可以在环球公司1999年的大预算版本《木乃伊》中找到。~ Cavett Bion，All Movie Guide
