Critics are already reacting to ‘The Mummy,’ which comes out in theaters on April 17, 2026. Most reviews highlight the film’s scary and intense horror aspects. Directed by Lee Cronin, the movie is being described as a disturbing and visually intense reimagining of the classic mummy story.

Aaron Neuwirth compared the film’s style to Evil Dead Rise, noting that while it makes some unusual choices, its focus on a creepy, monstrous vibe—particularly with a child mummy—ultimately works well and makes it enjoyable. He expressed optimism about the direction the filmmaker is taking with The Mummy.

Film critic Bill Bria didn’t hold back when describing the movie, calling it a nasty, gruesome, and unpleasant horror film. He felt its overall tone was reminiscent of films like The Omen, The Vanishing, and Braindead, though he thought it went on a bit too long. Ultimately, Bria concluded with a simple, impactful statement: “She bites. Hard.”

Brandon Davis shared his strong reaction to Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, calling it the most disturbing movie he’s ever seen in theaters. He described it as intensely frightening, with both genuinely scary moments and surprisingly detailed violence, admitting he had to avert his eyes repeatedly.

As a huge cinema fan, I was really intrigued by what Courtney Howard had to say about this film. She mentioned it doesn’t shy away from anything, and described it as genuinely frightening and visually amazing. She actually called it a seriously creepy and wild ride – the kind of movie that makes you scream and squirm in your seat!

Tyler Disney pointed out that Brendan Fraser isn’t in the movie, but he still liked how it blended horror and comedy. He also mentioned that the final part of the film is particularly thrilling.

Chris Killian believes this film is the scariest and most repulsive Mummy movie ever made.

Lee Cronin’s new take on The Mummy stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, and Verónica Falcón. The story follows a couple whose joyful reunion with their daughter quickly becomes a terrifying nightmare. Initial reactions suggest this version is significantly more frightening and intense than previous adaptations.
