Our take
Lee Cronin's The Mummy is rated R for strong disturbing violent content, gore, language, and brief drug use. A missing daughter returns eight years later, but the reunion becomes a demon-possession nightmare with graphic wounds, impalements, and children harmed on both sides of the attacks. Profanity is frequent, including strong sexual slurs. Brief nudity and a drunk-stylist joke appear. This is adult horror only, teens who tolerate Evil Dead Rise-level gore are the realistic floor
Story (may spoil tone)
The young daughter of a journalist disappears into the desert without a trace—eight years later, the broken family is shocked when she is returned to them, as what should be a joyful reunion turns into a living nightmare.

Talk after watching
- The title says Mummy, but reviewers call it a demon-possession story. How does marketing shape what families expect?
- Katie's return should be joyful, yet the family keeps missing warning signs. When should adults trust their instincts over hope?
- Violence often involves or is committed by children. Why is that harder to watch than adult-only horror?
- Gore is presented as over-the-top shock. Does extreme violence ever deepen a story, or just test your stomach?
- Eight years of grief precede the horror. How does loss change the way a family responds to danger?
