In The Mummy: Palimpsest, every 34 years the Sect of Anubis carries out a dark ritual to drink the blood of a human sacrifice and imprison the spirit of an ancient Egyptian High Priestess, Nebetah, granting them immortality. When Angel, a young Ukrainian woman, is chosen as the next sacrifice, she begins a horrifying transformation into a rotting mummy as Nebetah's spirit consumes her. The secret Pyramid Club, dedicated to destroying the Sect, intervenes during the ritual, allowing Angel to escape into London. With the help of Duncan, a rising agent from the Pyramid Club, Angel must confront the Sect before the ritual's deadly conclusion claims many lives.

The timeless horror icon excavated for a brand new tale

The first in Titan's new collaboration with legendary Hammer Films

Once every 34 years, members of the sinister Sect of Anubis gather to drink the blood of a human sacrifice, used as a vessel to contain the imprisoned spirit of a long-dead Egyptian High Priestess called Nebetah, thereby gaining immortality.

As the time draws near for the next sacrifice, the Sect's chosen victim, a young Ukrainian woman called Angel, has already begun to transform into Nebetah. It is a process that will see the young woman transformed into a rotting mummy as the spirit of Nebetah consumes her soul.

However, there exists an ultra-secret society, called the Pyramid Club, dedicated to eradicating the evil of the Sect. At the height of the ritual, the club attacks the secret headquarters of the Sect, and in the confusion, Angel escapes into the streets of London, half consumed by the soul of Nebetah. Forced to accept the help of Duncan, a young rising agent for the Pyramid Club society, the two of them must team up and take the fight back to the Sect of Anubis before the sands of time run out and the failed ritual claims the lives of everyone!
