NOW IN THEATERS:
Lee Cronin’s The Mummy – The Irish director of the Evil Dead Rise turns in the umpteenth take on the time worn tale of the film’s title. In this version, a TV reporter’s daughter is possessed by demons that are somehow tied to an ancient sarcophagus in the 134-minute film that probably should have been at least forty-five minutes shorter.
