Overview

Set in 18th-century Cornwall, Love Brides of the Blood Mummy plunges into the world of forbidden rituals and ancient curses. When Count Dartmoor acquires an Egyptian sarcophagus and revives its perfectly preserved occupant with electricity, he unwittingly unleashes the son of a high priest—condemned and buried alive for heresy. This mummy, armed with telepathic abilities, is driven by an insatiable thirst: he must draw young women to him, using their blood to sustain his second life. The film weaves together themes of hypnotism, Egyptology, and predatory desire, all against a backdrop of castles and shadowy countryside. Expect a blend of gothic horror and sexploitation, with an atmosphere steeped in dread and sensuality.
