The Mummy: Bland, Misguided Horror Misunderstands Its Own Story

Lee Cronin’s The Mummy: don’t be fooled by the title, this is totally anonymous horror filmmaking. bland, mean but not in a fun way, and builds to an ending that totally misunderstands the movie. my review: https://t.co/ijwHxU1j64 https://t.co/YvwWr0iRtY

Unexpectedly Loving Anne Hathaway’s Pseudo‑Religious Mother Mary Film
