Ivan Cardoso's Amazing, Eye-Popping Debut Film

original Brazilian title: O SEGREDO DA MUMIA [Secret of the Mummy]

director: Ivan Cardoso
starring Carla Bayton · Wilson Grey · Tania Boscoli · Anselmo Vasconcellos · Maria Zilda Bethlem

Scientist Expedito Vitus discovers an elixir of life when he explores the tomb of Runamb in the sands of Egypt. He returns to Brazil with a mummy that he plans to revive with his new serum. He is unaware that the Runamb mummy had been a dangerous psychopath obsessed with an exotic dancer named Nadja. In ancient Egypt, he had became homicidal when she rejected him. And now, Prof Vitus is unleashing this monster to the modern world. With the help of a demented assistant named Igor, the mummy does come back to life and he does begin a murderous rampage as he stalks couples, killing the men and tossing beautiful women in an underground dungeon where they go mad. The situation is investigated by a reporter who happens to have an assistant that resembles the long-lost Nadja causing the mummy to go even more berserk.
This amazing masterpiece is the debut film from Ivan Cardoso and it is often regarded as the finest genre production from Brazil. He followed this project with another quirky exploitation entry THE SEVEN VAMPIRES. In 2005, Mr Cardoso recruited horror legend Paul Naschy for the lavish WEREWOLF IN THE AMAZON which - sadly - would be Naschy's last film.
