“People screaming together, jumping together, popcorn flying at the same time” – director talks about why “LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY” is best seen in cinemas, starting April 15

Director Lee Cronin is hoping audiences will watch his new horror film, “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy,” on the big screen.

“I always think horror movies are best shared with the collective,” says Cronin, well-known to horror audiences for directing and writing the 2023 hit “Evil Dead Rise.” “You get that sense of movement and motion within a room when you get people screaming together, jumping together, popcorn flying at the same time.”

In “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy,” the young daughter of a journalist disappears into the desert without a trace. Eight years later, the broken family is shocked when she is returned to them, as what should be a joyful reunion turns into a living nightmare. Produced by James Wan, Jason Blum and John Keville, the film stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, with Veronica Falcón.

Director Lee Cronin (“Evil Dead Rise”) didn’t think he would be making a movie about the iconic monster that is the mummy – until he realized that “there hasn’t been a truly terrifying version made before.” 

“That drew my interest in, but as always, I needed to find a story,” shares Cronin about what made him want to do his latest horror film. “And once I did that, I started to get really engaged and involved with what this thing could become.”
