Director: Oliver Drake
Actors: Anthony Eisley, John Carradine, Robert Alan Browne
PlotIn the sands of Egypt, an American archaeologist named Dr. David Barrie becomes entangled with a mysterious curse after unearthing an ancient tomb. Inside, he discovers a perfectly preserved mummy and a trove of antiquated artifacts, each crafted with intricate detail. Among these is a revered Jackal amulet said to hold immense power. Ignoring the warnings of his local guides, Barrie takes the amulet and brings the mummy back to Las Vegas for further study. His decision unleashes unforeseen consequences, as strange and unexplainable events begin to occur in the city. Restlessness stirs inside the mummy, hinting at a life that was once cursed and bound to awaken by unnatural forces.
As Barrie delves deeper into unraveling the secrets of the mummy and its ties to the Jackal amulet, he consults his university colleague, Professor Banning, an esteemed Egyptologist. Banning warns him of the potential dangers tied to disturbing ancient relics—especially one encased with a curse passed down by priests of old. Their investigation reveals a sinister legend that speaks of chaos brought upon by tampering humans, leading them to suspect that these forces seek something more than mere revenge. Meanwhile, sightings of spectral jackals roaming the outskirts raise fears that an ancient prophecy might be coming to fruition. As the stakes intensify, Barrie must grapple with his disbelief and embark on a perilous quest to understand and neutralize the otherworldly forces set in motion before they consume everything he holds dear.
