IR Film Review: LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY [New Line/Warner Bros.]
The intent of any "Mummy" film is to try to find the angle of perspective making it intense while mixing in certain elements of adventure. With "Lee Cronin's The Mummy", Cronin leans in more to the horror aspect. While he was really able to make the tone work in "Evil Dead Rise" which was wonderfully done, this film more skirts the edge of taste but also what the concept should be.
