The Mummy (1932)

In 1921, an archaeological team unearths the cursed mummy of an ancient Egyptian priest. When one of the team accidentally reads an ancient spell, the priest is revived, but madness follows. A decade later, the now-disguised priest seeks to reunite with the reincarnation of his long-lost love, a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to the princess he once adored. As he manipulates events and people to achieve his goal, a desperate battle ensues to stop him and save her.
