aka The Wakening.
"I've forgotten how lovely she was."
Archeologist Matthew Corbeck (Charlton Heston) discovers the long lost tomb of an Egyptian queen. Eighteen years later he returns to Cairo and discovers his daughter (Stephanie Zimbalist) may be possessed by the spirit of that monarch. Can he bring himself to kill his daughter to save mankind from her wraith?
A well made film, dragged down by its slow and methodical pacing, and unfortunately the shockingly violent deaths that occure do not enliven it enough. Loosely based on the Bram Stoker novel 'The Jewel of Seven Stars'.
