Lee Cronins The Mummy: A Demon-Possessed Teenage Girls Horror Romp

This podcast episode delves into the latest Mummy reboot, directed by the Evil Dead Rise filmmaker. The story follows a Cairo cop, May Calamawy, and a dad, Jack Reynor, dealing with their long-lost daughter emerging from a 3,000-year-old sarcophagus after a plane crash. The film shifts between Cairo and Albuquerque, New Mexico, starting with family drama and mystery before escalating into intense horror.

The Mummy is criticized for its length and abrupt shift from eerie buildup to gross-out gore, drawing laughs at screenings. Despite horror staples like storms, insects, and flickering lights, the Mummy vibe gets lost in demon possession tropes. The film features authentic Middle Eastern characters and an Arabic-speaking lead, but odd obsessions with toes, teeth, and light cannibalism stand out, along with peculiar song choices.

Rated R for violence, gore, language, and brief drug use, this Mummy reboot aims for terror but might stay buried. Check it out if youre into bloody horror mixes, or skip if you prefer straight classic scares.
