Whatever you’re expecting from Lee Cronin's The Mummy, there’s a lot more to this terrifying tale. Turning his back on Mummy lore, the Evil Dead Rise director has given the tale a grotesque twist that'll chill you to your core.
Instead of archaeologists uncovering the secrets of Egyptian tombs, we meet parents desperate to be reunited with their missing child. But any sense of joy at the sight of their long-lost daughter fades as they come face to face with a grisly resurrection…
BOOK LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY TICKETS
What would you do if your child resurfaced like this? Could you take her back? Or would you deep down be thinking some things are better left in the dust?
This horror film's a proper skin-crawler…
Inspired less by the Boris Karloff original, Cronin has his sights more on Poltergeist and Se7en for his psychological horror. Is it twisted? Yes. Will it make your skin crawl? Double yes. It’s creepy as. And if you like your creeps at level 100, and to watch it in a state of maximum terror, view it on a special screen. Cineworld is showing The Mummy on IMAX and SCREENX, and here’s what you can expect…
The Mummy is one hundred times more frightening watching on IMAX
Watching Lee Cronin's The Mummy on the giant IMAX screen drops you directly into the terror. So, if you want bigger scares and keener frights, swap your usual cinema comfort zone for an IMAX or SCREENX viewing.
The Mummy moves between vast desert vistas, wide shots, and tight oppressive interiors, a visceral contrast that’s purposely designed to push you over the edge. It’ll certainly be pushed to the max on IMAX. The screams and the horrifying sounds will all be dialled up, giving you super-sized shocks and jolts of fright, along with thunderous sound to up the tension.
There's no hiding from the scares on SCREENX
Get your visual thrills at SCREENX, which gives a panoramic view so there’s nowhere to hide your eyes from the terror unfolding in front of you. At SCREENX the main screen is accompanied by two side wall projections that will take you to the very centre of the film. There is no escape from the unwelcome shadows in your side vision.
