The TVI Take

Lee Cronin reboots the Mummy property after the well-received Evil Dead Rise. The film carries the director's pattern of structural patience and practical-effects craft into a horror canon that has been less interested in either for two decades.

The cognitive demand and educational value are genre-typical; the craft is what earns the score. The 2026 theatrical release reflects the studio's recognition that Cronin's franchise discipline is the right hands for a property both prior reboots mishandled.
