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]

Lacks the same thrills, chills, and gleeful insanity that made Evil Dead Rise such a blast.

Summoning the pitch-black spirits of low-aiming 2000s gorefests like The Hills Have Eyes remake or Hostel is Cronin’s only aim here, and he delivers on it handsomely.

1.5/4

It isn’t Lee Cronin’s The Mummy as much as it’s Lee Cronin’s The Exorcist, with dollops of Lee Cronin’s The Evil Dead, Lee Cronin’s Hereditary, Lee Cronin’s Bring Her Back, and probably every other terror tale this side of Lee Cronin’s Frankenhooker.

Surprised me. Didn’t have any expectations really, and I found myself enjoying this more than I thought I would 😌 Just when you think it’s letting up, it floors that pedal just a bit more.

Boring parts, some scary moments, jump scares, choppy, some parts don’t make sense. Not invested in characters. Acting okay.

Great concept of a movie but could’ve been better in some aspects and felt like the ending was rushed.
