If you are expecting a fun, campy adventure with heavy CGI and quippy one-liners, you are in the wrong theater. Writer-director Lee Cronin (Evil Dead Rise) is steering this classic monster franchise straight into a grounded, terrifying abyss this April when The Mummy hits theaters.
A Terrifying Homecoming
Say goodbye to ancient Pharaohs and dusty tombs. This story hits much closer to home. In the film, a journalist’s life is utterly destroyed when her young daughter vanishes into the desert without a trace. Eight long years later, the girl miraculously reappears alive. What should be a joyful family reunion quickly spirals into a living nightmare. The creature in this film isn’t wrapped in bandages in a tomb. The ancient, unsettling force is living inside the returned child.
Pure Horror Royalty Behind the Scenes
Cronin isn’t tackling this dark tale alone. A powerhouse alliance of modern horror backs the project. It’s produced by James Wan (Atomic Monster) and Jason Blum (Blumhouse).
They have assembled an elite cast of genre veterans to navigate the madness. The cast includes Jack Reynor (Midsommar), Laia Costa (The Wheel of Time), May Calamawy (Moon Knight), and Verónica Falcón (Ozark).
Get Your Tickets Now
Cronin is poised to deliver a psychological, “creeping terror” that doesn’t just make you jump. It gets under your skin and stays there. The Mummy will hit theaters on April 17. However, you can get your tickets to witness this nightmare-inducing film in IMAX right now. And we recommend that you do, as there will be sold-out shows.
