Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is a contemporary supernatural horror reimagining of the classic franchise. Written and directed by Lee Cronin—fresh off his success with Evil Dead Rise—the film shifts the legendary monster away from traditional tomb-raiding tropes toward a more intimate, psychological nightmare.
The story centers on a journalist’s young daughter, Katie Cannon (Natalie Grace), who vanishes into the desert without a trace. Eight years later, the broken family is stunned when she suddenly returns to them, but the initial joy of the reunion quickly dissolves into terror as they realize that whatever came back from the sands is no longer the child they lost.
The film stars Jack Reynor as Charlie Cannon and Laia Costa as his wife, portraying a couple forced to confront a malevolent supernatural force that has infiltrated their home. The cast is rounded out by May Calamawy, Veronica Falcón (as Charlie's mother-in-law), and May Elghety. Produced by horror heavyweights James Wan and Jason Blum, the movie utilizes Cronin’s signature visceral style to explore themes of grief and familial trauma.
By grounding the "Mummy" mythology in a modern domestic setting, the film aims to deliver a "living nightmare" that bridges the gap between ancient curses and contemporary fears, marking a dark new chapter for the iconic Universal monster.
