For the short and sweet: it has unsettling and creepy elements, but the movie is essentially Evil Dead Rise with an Egyptian skin suit thrown in.
Wokeness: there’s a main female cop who isn’t some Mary sue badass, the main family is white/hispanic from New Mexico and the dad isn’t a pushover, plus is instrumental to the plot. No gay/trans/whatever casting. The cast is fairly “diverse” but realistic to the regions.
Overall I wanted to like this movie but it just wasn’t Mummy, it was a supernatural demon possession movie with minor Egyptian elements. There’s plenty of gore, grossness, and grotesque which will satiate Evil Dead fans, but not anything to really make it a Mummy movie.
So if you just want a gruesome ride with a family trying to save their daughter it’s a solid 6-7 movie, but if you want actual Mummy with Ancient Egyptian lore, esotericism, and iconography you’re going to be left wanting.
I watched the outrageously bad Jurassic Park film that WS made recently. Pirated of course. And the way that Hispanic father was cucked out while his daughter fucked her BF on their small boat almost made me turn it off.
Good to know this Mummy film is just a gorefest, I have little interest in shat shit.
I recently watched 2 horror films with Christoph Waltz, Frankenstein (2025) and Dracula (2026). Both of them are better.
