Have Mercy (Haram Allek in arabic) is a film inspired by the tales of werewolves and Frankenstein. Ismail and Abdel Fattah work in an antiquities store. They bring out a box containing a mummy, and a man, who claims to be an archaeologist, asserts that he can revive it. This man has a niece, who is engaged to a doctor, and he uses the doctor to extract the brain of a living person in order to transplant it into the mummy. Ismail ends up being the victim whose brain is transplanted. Egyptomania is incorporated into the film's visual motifs since coffins feature prominently in the background and the walls of the storeroom are adorned with Pharaonic inscriptions. Additionally, the hero attempts to decipher old papyri filled with magical riddles concerning ancient Egyptian mummies.
