巴黎野玫瑰

巴黎野玫瑰 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 styli巴黎sh look, and fine performances from the leads. The plot, adapted from Bram Stokers novel The Jewel of the Seven Stars, involves an expedition led by Professor Fuchs (Andrew Keir) to find the cursed tomb of an evi巴黎l 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 i野ts original wearer, seeking revenge for the defilement of her tomb. Though Christopher Wicking野s adaptation of Stokers obscure novel is a bit uneven, it still provides ample suspense and the production has an overall richness that captures the flavor of Hammers other mumm玫瑰y projects. Remade eight years later (with less effective results)巴黎 as The Awakening; traces of the same story can also be found in Universals 1999 mega-budget version The Mummy. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide
