Lee Cronin's The Mummy centres on a family upended twice: first when their daughter vanishes into the desert, then when she is returned eight years later and something is clearly, terribly wrong. The film frames its horror through the Nasmaranian, an ancient Egyptian possessing demon with exorcism overtones, turning a longed-for reunion into a nightmare. If that premise grips you — the monster wearing the face of someone you love, home itself becoming the site of dread — these stories work the same nerve.
Lee Cronin's The Mummy is a 2026 supernatural horror film written and directed by Lee Cronin. A reimagining of The Mummy franchise based around the Nasmaranian, an ancient Egyptian demon that possesses victims with exorcism themes, the film stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, and Verónica Falcón. The film follows a family who is reunited with their long-missing, mummified daughter and realizes something is wrong with her. James Wan and Jason Blum produced the film through their respective production banners, Atomic Monster and Blumhouse Productions, alongside Wicked/Good. The film is a co-production between Ireland and the United States.
