![Lee Cronin’s ‘The Mummy’ Sets Home Release Date With Terrifying New Look [Exclusive]](https://i.headtopics.com/images/2026/5/18/collider/lee-cronin-s-the-mummy-sets-home-release-date-with-lee-cronin-s-the-mummy-sets-home-release-date-with-4D130B7B123226BF4BF862194DC12EFB.webp)
A new sneak peek at Lee Cronin's The Mummy provides a stomach-churning look at Natalie Grace's possessed Katie running amok.
It's officially been one month since Lee Cronin's The Mummy was unleashed in theaters and presented viewers with a more spine-chilling spin on the Universal horror classic.
Gone was the typical Egyptian aesthetic, Imhotep, and the dashing duo of Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, and in their place was a startling possession flick centered on a journalist's daughter who goes missing in the desert, only to be uncovered eight years later from an ancient sarcophagus. Her broken family quickly goes from overjoyed to terrified when they learn the Katie who came home isn't the daughter they remembered, but something far more sinister.
Now, Warner Bros' film is on its way to digital platforms tomorrow, and in preparation, Collider can exclusively share a new sneak peek at the nightmare that awaits the Cannon family. The footage follows parents Charlie and Larissa into the crawlspace between their walls, where the very possessed Katie has fled. She's also developed a taste for scorpions, which, along with Grace's twitchy movements, makes her all the more creepy.
While the parents try to wrangle her, the other siblings are awoken by the commotion in time to see their demonically demented sister scrambling through the halls on all fours. Chances are, they're not getting to sleep after seeing Charlie and Larissa finally catch Katie and, in desperation, make her throw up to get the bits of poisonous arachnid out of her body.
It's a stomach-churning illustration of the hell the family faces trying to take care of Katie while dealing with the evil within. Alongside the film itself, Lee Cronin's The Mummy's digital, 4K Ultra HD, and Blu-ray releases will come possessed by a few special features. At the top of the list is a making-of featurette following writer-director Lee Cronin as he attempts to realize his vision for a version of the iconic monster that is once again truly terrifying.
Hot off reinvigorating the Evil Dead series with his 2023 smash hit Evil Dead Rise, he brought the same claustrophobic, suffocating atmosphere and emotional, family-centric storytelling to amplify the anxiety to new heights for the Mummy franchise. Other behind-the-scenes goodies dig into the grotesque special effects, Grace's visceral performance as Katie, and how real Egyptian roots informed how each scene was built. Rounding things out are deleted scenes and director's commentary.
COLLIDER Collider · Quiz Collider Exclusive · Horror Survival Quiz Which Horror Villain Do You Have the Best Chance of Surviving? Jason Voorhees · Michael Myers · Freddy Krueger · Pennywise · Chucky Five killers. Five completely different ways to die — if you're not smart enough, fast enough, or self-aware enough to avoid it. Only one of them is the villain your particular set of instincts gives you a fighting chance against.
Eight questions will figure out which one. 🏕️Jason 🔪Michael 💤Freddy 🎈Pennywise 🪆Chucky TEST YOUR SURVIVAL → QUESTION 1 / 8INSTINCT 01 Something feels wrong. You can't explain it — you just know. What do you do?
First instincts are the difference between the survivor and the first act casualty. ALeave immediately. I don't need to understand a threat to respect it. BStay quiet and observe.
If I can see it, I can understand it. If I can understand it, I can avoid it. CStay awake. Whatever this is, I am not going to sleep until I feel safe again.
DConfront it directly. Fear grows in the dark — I'd rather know what I'm dealing with. ECheck everything, trust nothing. The threat might be closer than I think — and smaller.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 2 / 8ENVIRONMENT 02 Where are you most likely to find yourself when things go wrong? Setting is everything in horror. Where you are determines which rules apply. ASomewhere remote — a cabin, a campsite, off the grid and away from people.
BA quiet suburban neighbourhood where nothing ever happens. Except tonight. CIn my own head — the most dangerous place of all, depending on what's already in there. DWherever children are — because something about this place attracts the worst things.
ESomewhere ordinary — a house, a toy store, a place where the last thing you'd expect is a threat. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 3 / 8STRENGTH 03 What is your most reliable survival asset? Every survivor has a quality the villain didn't account for. What's yours?
APhysical fitness — I can run, I can swim, I can outlast something that relies on brute persistence. BSpatial awareness — I always know the exits, the hiding spots, the fastest route out. CPsychological resilience — I've faced my worst fears before. They don't have the same power over me.
DEmotional steadiness — I don't panic. Panic is what gets you caught. EScepticism — I don't underestimate threats because of how they look. Size is irrelevant.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 4 / 8FEAR 04 What kind of fear is hardest for you to fight through? Knowing your weakness is the first step to not dying because of it. AThe unstoppable — something that will not stop, cannot be reasoned with, and is always getting closer. BThe invisible — a threat I can feel but can't locate, watching from somewhere I can't see.
CThe psychological — something that uses my own mind and memories against me. DThe unknowable — something ancient, shapeless, that feeds on the fear itself. EThe mundane — a threat so ordinary-looking that no one will believe me until it's too late.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 5 / 8GROUP 05 You're with a group when things start going wrong. What's your role? Horror movies are brutally clear about who survives group situations and who doesn't. AThe one who says"we need to leave" first — and means it, even when no one listens.
BThe one who stays quiet, watches the others, and figures out the pattern before anyone else does. CThe one who holds the group together when panic sets in — because someone has to. DThe one who asks the questions nobody wants to ask — because ignoring them gets people killed. EThe one who takes the threat seriously when everyone else is laughing it off.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 6 / 8MISTAKE 06 What's the horror movie mistake you're most likely to make? Honest self-assessment is a survival skill. Denial is not. AGoing back for someone — I know I shouldn't, but I can't leave them behind.
BAssuming I'm safe once I've found a hiding spot. That's when it finds me. CFalling asleep when I absolutely cannot afford to. Exhaustion is its own enemy.
DLetting my curiosity override my instincts — I always need to understand what I'm dealing with. EDismissing the threat because of how it looks. That's exactly what it wants.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 7 / 8ADVANTAGE 07 What's your best weapon against something that can't be stopped by conventional means? Every horror villain has a weakness. The survivors are always the ones who find it. AThe environment itself — I use the terrain, the water, the geography against it.
BPatience — I wait, I watch, and I strike at the one moment it doesn't expect. CLucidity — if I can stay in control of my own mind, it loses its primary weapon. DCourage — facing it directly, refusing to run, taking away the fear it feeds on. EImprovisation — I use whatever's at hand, however unconventional.
Creativity over brute force. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 8 / 8FINAL SCENE 08 It's the final scene. You're the last one standing. How did you make it?
The final survivor always has a reason. What's yours? AI kept moving. I never stopped, never hid for too long, never let it corner me.
BI figured out the pattern before anyone else did — and I used it against the thing following it. CI stayed awake, stayed lucid, and refused to give it the one thing it needed most. DI stopped being afraid of it. And the moment I did, everything changed.
EI took it seriously from the start — and I never once made the mistake of underestimating it. REVEAL MY VILLAIN → Your Survival Odds Have Been Calculated Your Best Chance Is Against… Your instincts, your strengths, and your particular way of thinking under pressure point to one villain you actually have a fighting chance against. Everyone else — good luck.
Camp Crystal Lake · Friday the 13th Jason Voorhees Jason is relentless, but he is also predictable — and that is the gap you would exploit. Haddonfield, Illinois · Halloween Michael Myers Michael watches before he moves. He is patient, methodical, and almost impossible to detect — until it's too late for anyone who isn't paying close enough attention.
Elm Street · A Nightmare on Elm Street Freddy Krueger Freddy wins by getting inside your head — using your own fears, your own memories, your own subconscious as weapons against you. That strategy requires a target who can be destabilised. Derry, Maine · It Pennywise Pennywise is ancient, shapeshifting, and feeds on terror — but it has one critical vulnerability: it cannot function against someone who genuinely stops being afraid of it.
Chicago · Child's Play Chucky Chucky's greatest advantage is that nobody takes him seriously until it's already too late. He exploits the gap between how something looks and what it actually is. ↻ RETAKE THE QUIZ 'Lee Cronin's The Mummy' Defied Critics to Become a Terrifying Crowd-Pleaser Although Cronin's distinct take on The Mummy was polarizing for critics, audiences were more willing to embrace the terror, as indicated by the much more positive 76% Popcornmeter score on Rotten Tomatoes.
