Where to Watch Lee Cronin's The Mummy
- leighdaclown1d agoI would of given this 5 stars if it wasn't for its title. If you go in to this movie not thinking is a remake or anything to do with any other movie with the same title you will be fine. I thought it was very Evil Dead ish in places, so if your a fan of the Evil Dead you should like this movie.
- cultfilmlikerApril 19, 2026“I can fix her.” 😂 Bring Her Back. No, wait, actually…..no, you can keep her. Vampires and zombies and mummies - oh my! (God, Jack O’Connell can you be in more classic horror baddies films) [edit: got Jack Reynor and O’Connell mixed up, whoops. Keeping it for the joke] One of the most sickening horror flicks I’ve ever seen. And it’s filled with so much Raimism that Sam not getting an EP credit feels disingenuous I’m talking Drag Me to Hell levels of gross out horror. As Cam’ron once said, “This shit’ll disgust ya!” Scary, revolting, tense - some surprisingly good shit! Buttoned-up ending may have been a tad much but hey it was supposed to be a blockbuster film so I don’t blame them. Impressive darling, hilarious, and terrifying performances from the children! You obviously feel terrible for the main girl but I feel so bad for the little girl. Can you imagine being that scared of your own sister in your own house? Like Insidious on steroids Another movie for my animal lover friends to stay away from smh “Take a load off, granny” is more like it, amirite Go see it in IMAX! This film deserves better than the box office performance it’s receiving! Watched in IMAX at Warren Regal West Currently Ranked #18/52 in 2026 Ranked
- gnrrainMay 20, 2026Quite a few reviewers I watch and respect said this movie wasn't worth watching. I disagree. It's not a perfect film but I enjoyed it. My daughter liked it too. Definitely not for the faint of heart - it's got some serious stomach turning moments. I think the way it ended was perfect for what we were given story wise as well. If you're not adverse to gore, give it a shot. It's better than I was expecting all around.
- Doc WormMay 3, 2026A big stupid over long convoluted mess of a movie that is full of plot holes and cliches. However- it is entertaining as hell. The whole third act was basically an evil dead movie and it was incredible to watch in a semi populated theater and hearing everyone squirm and groan. Annoying AF that they explain the plot multiple times throughout. Can definitely see why this one is getting a lot of hate, but it’s not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be.
- jackmeatMay 23, 2026My quick rating - 6.5/10. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy feels he tossed his memories of The Exorcist into an Egyptian tomb, sprinkled in what he learned making Evil Dead Rise, and said, “You know what this needs? More nightmare children.” Surprisingly, that recipe works pretty well, even if it occasionally forgets to fully crank the chaos dial. The movie gets moving fast. We open with a happy family singing in the car, which in horror terms is basically a giant flashing sign that says, “Enjoy this while it lasts.” Mom already looks one chorus away from losing her patience, but things take a turn when the family gets home and finds their pet bird mysteriously dead in its cage. Because apparently cursed family drama likes to arrive early. From there, The Mummy starts layering in creepy family business best left for audiences to discover. Let’s just say if creepy basements already make you uncomfortable, this movie may have you reconsidering ever walking downstairs again. Most people store old furniture or Christmas decorations. This place feels like someone casually hid a sarcophagus downstairs and hoped nobody would ask questions. Things escalate when young Katie (Emily Mitchell) encounters the not-so-friendly neighborhood “magician” next door. She hands Katie a nectarine, which turns into a wonderfully unsettling moment with a bug popping out and heading straight into Katie’s mouth. That scene should have you eyeballing every piece of fruit sitting in that bowl on your kitchen counter. Soon after, Charlie (Jack Reynor) discovers Katie has vanished, leading to a frantic chase through the streets of Cairo as a sandstorm swallows the city whole. Then comes the gut punch. An eight-year jump forward shows the family trying to move on in Albuquerque, New Mexico, now with a younger daughter while carrying the weight of what happened. Of course, horror movies love reopening old wounds. After a mysterious plane crash in Egypt uncovers an ancient coffin, investigators find a mummified girl inside. And unless this is your first horror flick, you already know it is Katie (Natalie Grace). This is where The Mummy becomes properly unsettling. Katie’s makeup is deeply disturbing, from the cracked skin to the teeth and especially those horrifying fingernails. The sound design deserves credit, too. That constant teeth chattering? Absolutely not. Straight-up skin-crawling material. Cronin clearly learned a few tricks from Evil Dead Rise, bringing over the same nasty energy of possessed people saying awful things at maximum taunting levels. The kids are, without a doubt, the main stars, and the special effects certainly add to the fright more than the flashy CGI effects. In fact, this reimagining feels far less like a traditional mummy story and more like an Evil Dead cousin wearing ancient wrappings for Halloween. Still, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy never quite goes as hard as it feels like it wants to. Several scenes tease full horror insanity before easing off the gas, especially an open-casket moment that feels like it stopped just short of legendary gross-out status. The movie also runs a bit too long and lands one good ending before oddly deciding it needs another. Even with those flaws, Lee Cronin delivers a creepy, brutal horror mashup that works more often than not. Just don’t go in expecting old-school mummy adventure. This version would much rather chatter its teeth at you in the dark and ruin your sleep schedule.
