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]

You can criticize Lee Cronin’s The Mummy for its myriad flaws, or cackle at how hard he brings the blecch. Remember, laughing is always more fun.

Gross and gutsy (in multiple ways), this mummy wraps you up and hits hard.

Definitely disturbing as a horror film should be! Creative concepts were used here and it did not follow suit with the old school Mummy vibe. It has more of a true crime meets new school evil dead scenario about it. Very twisted and the end is surprisingly satisfying.

Well that was somethin’…. The Mummy meets the Conjuring, mixed with the Exorcist and Terrifier, sprinkled with the Evil Dead I felt it was a lot of everything thrown into one pot, BUT it all mostly worked A little too much in the middle (GORE galore) but the ending was good. This movie stays with you a bit when you leave. I hadn’t seen a movie I couldn’t predict with all the crazy twists and turns like this in a while. It did its job and an ultimate horror movie
