Buried Alive. Again.
Review written by Jack Aling
Lee Cronin's The Mummy is directed by Lee Cronin and written by Lee Cronin.
The young daughter of a journalist disappears into the desert without a trace. Eight years later, the broken family is shocked when she is returned to them — but the joyful reunion turns into a living nightmare.
An Evil Dead film covered in bandages.
Lee Cronin takes the Universal monster and strips it back to its primal horror roots, delivering a film that has more in common with body horror than adventure cinema. The practical effects are extraordinary and Cronin's direction is confident and viscerally effective.
A proper horror film that understands what makes the genre work: dread, atmosphere and the gradual erosion of safety. One of the better monster movies in years.
