Buried secrets and ancient rituals provide fertile ground for horror, something that The Mummy franchise has long demonstrated.The original series, including the 1932 film starring horror icon Boris Karloff, follows a group of archaeologists who discover a mummified priest and inadvertently bring him back to life.Numerous adaptations followed, including films from Hammer Film Productions starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, and the later cycle directed by Stephen Sommers and starring Brendan Fraser, along with spin-offs such as The Scorpion King.Now, Irish writer-director Lee Cronin reimagines the concept, asking what would happen if a family member became mummified.
