“Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” (** out of four) was a grim reimagining of “The Mummy” franchise about the daughter (Laia Costa) of a prominent journalist (Jack Reynor) who vanishes in the heart of the desert without a trace; upon returning home 8 years later, her family begins to realize she isn’t quite the same daughter she was before she left. Much more of a horror movie than an action story like previous movies but not very scary and has no sense of humor either. A few creepy moments to be sure and some superior visual effects towards the end but perhaps it’s time this series was mummified itself and buried.
