Movies that feel likeThe Mummy (1932)

An ancient Egyptian priest named Imhotep is revived when a British archaeological expedition finds his mummy and one of the researchers accidentally reads an ancient life-giving spell. Imhotep escapes from the field site and searches for the reincarnation of the soul of his lover.

If you loved The Mummy, the closest films we have are White Zombie (1932), Dracula (1931) and The Phantom of the Opera (1925). All three share The Mummy's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Island of Lost Souls (1932).
