Eight years after vanishing in Cairo, a girl returns home. What should be relief becomes a living nightmare. The official trailer for The Mummy’s Curse is here.
A Reunion That Turns Into Horror
Warner Bros. Pictures unveiled the official trailer for The Mummy’s Curse on February 18, directed by Lee Cronin. The film opens in theaters worldwide — including IMAX — on April 16, 2026.
The story follows the family of a journalist whose eldest daughter, Katie, vanishes without a trace in the deserts of Cairo. Eight years later, she returns. But the joy of the reunion is short-lived — what the family finds is deeply, disturbingly wrong.
Cronin’s Follow-Up to ‘Evil Dead Rise’
Cronin writes and directs following the box office triumph of Evil Dead Rise, which revived the beloved franchise to record-breaking results. Now he turns his attention to one of horror’s most iconic mythologies — the ancient Egyptian curse — with a bold and unsettling new vision.
“One of the most iconic horror stories of all time, told in a bold and disturbing way.” — Lee Cronin, writer and director
