It really is a great flick.

My issue with it is that it's really more of an Evil Dead movie than a mummy movie.

In the annals of mummy films there are scores that skirt the line of your prototypical mummy film. This is no different. It rules.

I enjoyed it too, but I wish they would've made the dad an archeologist or anything that would've kept Egypt the backdrop of the movie. I feel like the setting of the classic monsters is just as important as the monsters themselves.

Perhaps, but it would have rushed the picture. Besides, half the movie is the audience a thousand years ahead wondering just what the heck this family is doing. It adds to the film tremendously and strengthens every family members actions and reactions. Imagine the exposition drop coming from the father quickly as opposed to letting it play out. Also, would you have wanted to film a movie in Egypt for months at great expense or move the film to New Mexico, a tax haven, and still spell the story out in great fashion?

True, except the only thing really remotely "mummy" about this movie is the initial Egyptian setting. The pyramid and sarcophagus weren't what you'd typically see in a mummy movie. If they had gone in a slightly different direction and had the dad be an archaeologist who unearthed a cursed tomb, I think I'd have enjoyed it more. It wasn't a bad movie, it just reminded me a whole lot of Evil Dead.
The way I felt about this movie is similar to how I felt after watching Wolf Man. The creators of that movie went a different direction in that there really was no werewolf, at least not in the way most of us think of werewolves. It had nothing to do with a full moon, silver bullets, etc. It was just a dude who got infected by a virus that essentially turned him into a rabid animal.

Yes and that movie did not execute well. But that does not mean this film did not. Further, the girl was the mummy. There was a demon, incantations, mummy spells, a sarcophagus, it started in Egypt, there’s a ton there man. Perhaps a dry mummy that came out of a pyramid would have made you happy but I’m pleased they went a different direction as you have at least twenty films made exactly how you prescribe. This was a fun, scary, gory, gooey film that checked all the boxes for me.

Agree. Too wet and too much vomiting, like in an Evil Dead movie.

Nobody has said it yet but is it streaming anywhere for free? I feel like this should always be the first thing OP should say when bringing up a fairly new movie.

I wouldn't 5-6 year old does some self harm, and there's more than a few creepy visuals.
Thought the movie snd story were good. I guess im just old and grumpy now but music in film, particularly when its 40% louder than the movie audio annoys the hell out of me.
My 1 gripe is when all the people are at the house for grandma and the big scene happens....
This is Albuquerque new mexico... all that happens.... no cops called? Everyone was just like wow thats intense time to go home and let them chain the creature to a wheelchair and continue on with the story!

Yeah I think Lee Cronin said this film is set in the evil dead universe.
Posted on 7/10/26 at 3:56 pm to kjntgr
Is this a horror movie? Or more like an action movie?

Spolerish.......
Watched it last night. We enjoyed it but understand the Evil Dead comparisons. My biggest problem I guess would be why the Egyptian cop never went anywhere without backup. I also thought they might have brought in the professor to help tame the girl
