Horror Movie Spotlight--Lee Cronin's THE MUMMY
The trailer for Lee Cronin's THE MUMMY is here. No, don't be too excited yet. It's not the Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz sequel that will be released in 2028.
But don't be that disappointed because Lee Cronin's The Mummy actually looks decent.
It's also produced by Atomic Monster and Blumhouse. So how bad could it be?
Now, the trailer does look interesting.
It starts with a family off on a road trip, discussing how much pizza the kids can actually eat.
The parents receive a call from the deputy of the US Embassy, informing them that their daughter Katie has been found.
They are beyond happy and tearful.
When they visit their daughter, they are taken aback to find her dirty and almost gray. Her hands are like claws.
The parents decide that their daughter, who has been missing for eight years, should be at home in order to heal.
But the father has questions. What was their daughter doing in a 3000-year-old sarcophagus?
Turns out their daughter wasn't the only one who had gone missing in Cairo. 57 children were found, too, although we don't know what happened to them.
Their daughter Katie may be back, but the family wants to know what is wrong with her. She doesn't seem to talk and keeps crawling about. We see writings on the bandages Katie was wrapped in.
Towards the end of the trailer, Katie does speak to her grandmother, saying it's so much fun to be dead.
So, okay, we see one of the victims, the grandmother.
The trailer looked like it had so much potential before the cheesy dialogue.
Hopefully, there is also a sequence where the parents take her to a hospital to get her looked at before they take her home. She was found in a sarcophagus after all.
Based on the trailer, the story seems to point towards a potential demonic possession. Will the parents get their daughter back, or is Katie too far gone?
Written and directed by Lee Cronin, the movie stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, Emily Mitchell, Natalie Grace, Shylo Molina, and May Calamawy.
