Lee Cronin's The Mummy creeps closer to its April 17 release date, with IGN releasing a brand new clip from the Evil Dead Rise‘s director's upcoming creature feature. Let's see what lies inside the sarcophagus…
Yep, pretty damn creepy! Starring Jack Reynor and May Calamawy, Cronin’s take on the classic horror story focuses on a family broken by grief when their young daughter disappears into the desert without a trace. But, when she returns eight years later — looking exactly the same, only discovered inside an ancient sarcophagus — she brings with her a living nightmare, and a curse that will haunt her entire family.
The supernatural horror also stars Laia Costa, Natalie Grace, and Veronica Falcón, with Cronin directing from his own script.
From the looks of it, Lee Cronin's The Mummy serves as a throwback to the days when the Mummy was depicted as a dark, ominous threat, beginning with the Boris Karloff-starring film from Universal in 1932, rather than the more action-packed, campy style of the Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz-starring Mummy films, which we'll be seeing back on our screens on May 19, 2028.
Cronin’s The Mummy is produced by James Wan, Jason Blum, John Keville, Michael Clear, Judson Scott, and Macdara Kelleher, with top of the line talent behind the camera, including director of photography Dave Garbett, production designer Nick Bassett, editor Bryan Shaw, costume designer Joanna Eatwell, and more.
Lee Cronin's The Mummy hits theaters on April 17. For more, here's all the other upcoming monster movies we're excited for still to come this year.
