The young daughter of a journalist disappears into the desert without a trace. Eight years later, the broken family is shocked when she's returned to them. However, what should be a joyful reunion soon turns into a living nightmare as she starts to transform into something truly horrifying.

Critics Consensus

Director Lee Cronin's take on The Mummy injects some juicy gore and personal stakes into the classic horror setup, but the scares in this gross-out extravaganza get entombed by a padded running time.

Audience Says

delivers a sarcophagus of gore-heavy horror that, while reliant on familiar tropes, still ekes out intense thrills.

It's not terrible by any means.

The endless plot complications and the ins and outs of child possession and exodus are too tedious to detail.

We would have liked more clarity in a story that reveals several narrative gaps, that doesn't have a satisfactory ending, and that sometimes deviates too recklessly from what one might expect from a film like this to delve into. [Full review in Spanish]

The Mummy quickly devolves into an Exorcist-based exercise in wringing whatever shocks are still to be found in a possessed-girl-in-the-house scenario, that we haven't all seen a hundred times before.

There are five jump scares a minute, and because there's so much of it, the film can't devote enough time to its characters or emotion.

Perhaps a bit too reminiscent of Cronin's own Evil Dead Rise, his The Mummy is nonetheless another solid showcase for his talents. Maybe try something new next time, though.

This movie was good. More like Evil Dead or The Exorcist, than a Mummy movie. I think Egyptian themes made up a very small percentage of the movie. The body horror was intense, definitely a lot of gross-out scenes.
