Summary: a young girl is kidnapped and mummified.
Blumhouse making a mummy film didn’t fill anyone with confidence but this film is not entirely bad. Where it focuses specifically on Egyptian themed horror it works well. There is some genuine promise here.
Then they make it every possession film ever made, and parody the Evil Dead with large portions of the family getting possessed and acting like Deadites. Look at what Lee Cronin’s last film was.
Any promise it had went out of the window when they started saying the little girl was possessed by an ancient demon. How many times do we have to see the same thing play out.
The film goes almost exactly as you would expect it to then ends.
Overall, it ruins its promise.
3/5
The early parts of the film have real promise
The Egypt stuff is really cool
May Calamamawy is great
Cons.
The demon stuff makes it generic
It is predictable
