Don’t Fear, It is Enjoyable to Be Dead

You understand it’s a particular imaginative and prescient when the film places the director’s identify within the title, and Blumhouse and Atomic Monster’s newest tackle “The Mummy” captures the precise spin of Lee Cronin, the rising horror auteur identified for “Evil Dead Rise” and “The Hole in the Ground.”

“Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” simply launched its first trailer, and it provides a supernatural, demonic twist to a parental nightmare, wherein the dad and mom of a woman who disappeared eight years earlier now returns… effectively, not fairly alive, however undead, present in a 3,000 12 months outdated Egyptian sarcophagus dressed as a mummy. Seems above board. Could you think about if she was someplace unsafe?

The trailer does have a bit of little bit of that tongue-in-cheek allure that Cronin has aimed to convey to his earlier movies, with the little woman portraying the mother saying at one level to her grandmother, “Don’t worry grandma, it’s fun to be dead.”

This is a real horror spin on “The Mummy” fairly than a swashbuckling, action-adventure movie, and Cronin partnered with the parents at Atomic Monster and Blumhouse to convey it to life.

Cronin, naturally, each wrote and directed “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy,” which stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, and Veronica Falcón. James Wan, Jason Blum and John Keville produced the movie, and the manager producers are Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Macdara Kelleher, and Lee Cronin.

The movie’s below-the-line expertise contains director of images Dave Garbett, manufacturing designer Nick Bassett, editor Bryan Shaw, costume designer Joanna Eatwell, music by Stephen McKeon, and casting by Terri Taylor and Sarah Domeier Lindo.
