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.

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]

Ultimately, even with its structural and conceptual shortcomings, Cronin’s command of atmosphere and his grounded sensibility deliver a reinvention that feels purposeful, not perfunctory, anchored by nuanced performances.

"A straight-up horror departure from the Brendan Fraser franchise of the same name, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is less scary than it is mildly grotesque, resulting in what is—ironically—a haplessly gutless affair."

Great concept of a movie but could’ve been better in some aspects and felt like the ending was rushed.
