The young daughter of a journalist disappears into the desert without a trace. Eight years later, the broken family is shocked when she's returned to them. However, what should be a joyful reunion soon turns into a living nightmare as she starts to transform into something truly horrifying.

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]

I have a thing I call a TNT movie, meaning if this was on before the basketball game when the games were on TNT, would you turn it off while you cleaned your house? Yes you would with this one.

Feeling like a creepy, gross update of "The Exorcist" complete with black vomit, this mummy could have stayed entombed just a little bit longer for my palate.

I was dragged along by the vacillation between the chilling horror and the detective story. My confusion compounded because I wanted to feel tension and empathy, but I couldn’t stick with the characters enough to appreciate their journey.

The body who I wasn’t in love with, I didn’t do my research and assumed it was related to the popular Mommy, it’s essentially the exorcist storyline

Good movie if you watch it as its own horror/thriller film. Bad movie if you watch it expecting to see a “Mummy” film.

Definitely disturbing as a horror film should be! Creative concepts were used here and it did not follow suit with the old school Mummy vibe. It has more of a true crime meets new school evil dead scenario about it. Very twisted and the end is surprisingly satisfying.
