\u201cLee Cronin\u2019s The Mummy\u201d borrows from other films, but they\u2019re not named \u201cThe Mummy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Here, a girl named Katie becomes possessed and stuffed in a crypt until she\u2019s rescued eight years after she\u2019s reported missing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
When she reunites with her family, she\u2019s wrapped in message-laden clothes, rotting and unable to speak. At home, there\u2019s enough bizarre activity to suggest \u201cThe Exorcist.\u201d (If Cronin wanted to remake a film, he should have done that one.) This goes off in so many directions you\u2019re never quite sure what its rules are, but they\u2019re certainly not ones set forth by Brendan Fraser or Boris Karloff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The girl\u2019s dad, a broadcast reporter, is stationed in Egypt where she has plenty of time to wander and get caught up with adults who want to use her as their instrument. That\u2019s probably more than anyone intended, but when the family is back in Albuquerque, plenty of violent behavior, blood and swearing ensue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
When Katie\u2019s little sister sees what\u2019s happening, she unleashes a significant four-letter word. That captures our feeling, too, and leads to even more reasons to swear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
This \u201cMummy\u201d is horrific and worthy of the eye-widening reactions Jack Reynor offers as the dad. The last time he was this shocked, he was in \u201cMidsommar,\u201d discovering the quirks of a Scandinavian cult. Reynor\u2019s good at recoiling and he certainly gets ample opportunity here. \u201cThe Mummy\u201d is so repulsive it\u2019s difficult to watch it through to the end.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Naturally, the story drifts like sand and involves others who only enter in for plot purposes. But it also has a number of Katies who could be made possible through puppetry, special effects and lighting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Natalie Grace, who plays the older Katie, is good in the role, but she poses more questions than she answers. In this state\u00a0\u2014 wheeled into the family home and unable to communicate\u00a0\u2014 she should have been taken somewhere for treatment before she was allowed to torment anyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
