Story Synopsis:
From a story by John Elder (a pseudonym for Anthony Hinds), The Mummy’s Shroud is from England’s Hammer Film Productions. Sir Basil Walden (Andre Morell) leads an archeological party to the discovery of the hidden tomb of Kah-to-Bey. The group moves the mummy to Cairo and places him next to the mummy of Prem, Kah-to-Bey’s devoted slave and protector; despite the warnings of Hasmid Ali (Roger Delgado). When Prem is brought back to life, mayhem ensues.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture, matted at 1.66:1, exhibits plugged-up and oversaturated interior colors, while exteriors appear slightly more natural, but often hazy. Fleshtones often appear brownish, while other aspects of color fidelity are more accurately rendered. The picture is generally sharp, but wanting in detail and definition. Shadow delineation is generally poor, and it is recommended that the film be viewed in a completely darkened room, due to the lack of visual information in the dark scenes. Minor noise and artifacts are apparent.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is credited as monaural and, while undistinguished, there is matrix leakage to the front and surround channels, but the signals are faint.
