What to Know

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.

3/5
Cronin’s portrait of a genuinely loving family who are trying their best to endure is compelling in a way that many random assemblies of nubile teen victims for these films are not. Go to Full Review

Hannah 3h Loved the gore! The close up shots were amazing and matched with the sound perfectly. Definitely go see it! See more Kevin 4h This movie was not a mummy movie at all! It was a very bad Exorcist movie at best. Very disappointed to say the least. It's not good enough to watch after it Netflix or any other streaming channels. When it's free. See more Google 4h The Absolutely Best Mummy and Movie I have seen in a long time ! See more Mckenzie 5h Super creepy and unsettling, which is exactly what I wanted from this film.
