Lee Cronin’s: The Mummy (2026) is
a horror film written and directed by Lee Cronin, the director of Evil Dead
Rise. This is not a remake of Brendan Fraser’s 1999 version of The Mummy, but
rather something new, fresh, and unrelated to the mummy films that have come
before. Journalist Charlie Cannon and his wife Larissa live in Cairo with their
children Katie and Sebastian. When Katie is 8 years old, she is kidnapped in
the yard of their house by a mysterious woman who uses black magic. 8 years
later, the Cannon family has moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico and has one more
child named Maud.
Suddenly Katie is found alive in
the wreckage of a plane in Aswan, Egypt, inside a 3000-year-old sarcophagus.
Problems arise; Katie comes home in a severely disabled, catatonic,
half-mummified state. Her parents are happy, but they quickly realize this is
not the Katie they once knew. She becomes aggressive, crawls on the walls,
turns feral, and brings an ancient curse that threatens the entire family.
Detective Dalia Zaki, who never gave up searching for Katie for 8 years, joins
in investigating what actually happened. This is a possession film in the vein
of Evil Dead Rise, but with a mummy. The setting is more focused on a family in
New Mexico rather than the pyramids of Egypt.
Critics say this is the scariest version of the mummy in years. Cronin is considered successful in building tension into pure fear. The film is judged to care more about the dynamics of a broken family being forced to come together again, similar to Evil Dead Rise. However, critics also feel there are shortcomings, especially a shallow, repetitive story, weak script, and an experience that makes watching tiring. Roger Ebert said the film becomes monotonous because it focuses too much on torturing the audience. The critic score is low: Rotten Tomatoes 46%. Bollywood Hungama gave it 2/5, saying the premise is good but the execution is disappointing.
This film stars: Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Hayat Kamille and more.
In my opinion:
This is a sick and crazy film.
I’m not surprised—with James Wan’s involvement in this film, it was bound to
become a tense one. From the beginning I was taken on a roller coaster, moving
from calm situations to tense ones, and this repeats over and over. By the time
it reaches the middle of the film, tension and curiosity completely envelop me.
Unexpected and brutal events keep emerging. What’s great, in my opinion, is
that the film forces us to be patient within the tension and curiosity to find
out what actually happened.
The visuals, audio, and
cinematography are cool when they’re in James Wan’s hands. Out of all the mummy
films out there, this one is truly different from the rest. If you like horror
with extreme gore, this is a film that’s very suitable for you. But if you’re
expecting a mummy adventure like the 1999 one, I can assure you’ll be
disappointed. Esta película es increíble!
For me this one is 8/10.
