Lee Cronin’s The Mummy at Home on May 19

Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, an original take on the mummy genre from New Line Cinema and writer/director/executive producer Lee Cronin (“Evil Dead Rise”), debuts digitally at home on May 19.

People have asked me what I think of this film, and my response is always, “I didn’t have the nerve to watch it.” I remember seeing the trailer while in the theater to see the new Scream movie and I almost had to leave. It was that terrifying. Now that I can watch it at home… well, we will see. – Matt Mungle
