New Trailer for Lee Cronin’s Supernatural Horror Film The Mummy

New Line has dropped the first official trailer for The Mummy, an original supernatural horror film directed by Lee Cronin, best known for his work on Evil Dead Rise. Scheduled for release in North American theaters and IMAX on April 17, 2026, the film offers a chilling tale that diverges from Universal’s Mummy franchise, with a unique story that blends psychological terror with supernatural horror.

The plot follows the eerie disappearance of a young girl, Katie, who vanishes into the desert without a trace. Eight years later, the devastated family receives a shocking return, but instead of a joyful reunion, they are thrust into a living nightmare. The tagline for the film, “What Happened to Katie?” teases the horrifying mystery at the heart of the story.

The Mummy stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, and Veronica Falcón. The film is produced by James Wan, Jason Blum, and John Keville, with Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Macdara Kelleher, and Lee Cronin serving as executive producers. Cronin, who gained significant recognition with Evil Dead Rise, a successful installment in the iconic horror series that grossed over $147 million worldwide, follows up with this intriguing supernatural thriller.

Before his work on Evil Dead Rise, Cronin made a name for himself with his Sundance horror film The Hole in the Ground, which received critical praise for its haunting atmosphere and gripping suspense. The Mummy is set to continue his legacy of bringing fresh horror to the big screen with a story that promises to captivate audiences with its tense and terrifying premise.
