Looks to be for us hard core horror fans, unlike recent Mummy movies. Think Evil Dead level.

Thanks for posting, definitely gonna check this one out!

It has potential


Most horror flicks suck now a days, they just seem lazily done with no imagination

Early reviews recap without spoilers. Sounds brutal!

I'm glad they're moving away from the Holywood blockbuster approach and going back to a horror approach with an actual horror director.

Similar to the upcoming Resident Evil movie, going away from the schlocky Hollywood action films from Paul W. S. Anderson and instead handing it over to Zach Cregger for a horror-centric approach, as the source material deserves.

^^ Me too. I will probably wait until this becomes available streaming. I know wife won't want to see this one. But then again we have a cheap seats theatre a few miles down the road and I don't need the $20 large pop and popcorn package.

Watched it Saturday

Gore was prominent. I didn't hate it, it was done pretty well. No jump scares which was unexpected

The wife and daughter were talking on the phone with our son in Japan, he asked how the movie was. I said "it was Fucked Up!" He said if that's how I feel he is not watching it

3 out of five stars


Wait for streaming

Thanks for sharing BigSwede.

I don't know, that trailer gave me plenty of chills.

Letterboxd Review by LastCubScout:

This film is shot very well. The image is sharp, the lighting is moody, and the art direction is intricately detailed. The film looks great. The effects are well done. The kid actors do a good job of dealing with all the horrors foisted onto them. Just don't engage in any drinking game where you down a shot for each split diopter usage, because you'll be dead from alcohol poisoning before it's over.

That's all I've got. This is a piss-poor mummy movie. I kinda just want a big dead guy wrapped in bandages stalking people, but modern films seem UNDEAD set against giving me that concept. This is just a possessed girl movie, but called The Mummy maybe to fool people into thinking it's tied to Universal's Imhotep mummy character (which it isn't).

The main family are those dull regular people that I never care what happens to them. They're the type that bring their abused and mummified daughter home from the hospital after a plane crash but refuse help from outside registered nurses, physical therapists, psychiatrists, and health welfare aides. They just plop her in a bed and hope for the best. The family lives in a dingy, dark house with no overhead lighting and just moody filtered sunlight peering through the small windows. They don't take the daughter back to the hospital even if they clip her nails and all her leg skin falls off. Later, there's a funeral where the girl crawls out of the ceiling and all the kids attack the guests and the deceased, but no one ever calls the authorities or mentions the disturbance again. Everybody gets zero sympathy from me.

I think it's my apathy for the characters that made me have no reaction to all the gnarly effects that pop up throughout. There are gallons of body fluids gooshing all over, and I gave it all a big shrug. I suppose all those '70s and '80s horror I grew up with make it difficult for me to embrace the new school. I am not the target audience anymore. I'm too old.

I still don't understand the concept of tapping a surface for Morse Code—how do you tap a dash?
