New Lee Cronin's The Mummy trailer looks more Pet Sematary and Evil Dead than Universal Monsters movie, and I'm not *not* into it

Just two months before its due to release in theaters, Warner Bros. has dug up the first full trailer for Lee Cronin’s The Mummy… and we can smell the rot from here. The scary flick looks just as gnarly and nasty as we expected, given what the filmmaker did with his previous film: Evil Dead Rise.

It looks less like a Universal Monsters picture, admittedly, though, and more like a loose adaptation of an iconic Stephen King tale. From the clip, it centers on a married couple whose lives are turned upside down when their young daughter Katie, who’s been missing for the last eight years, is found in a 3,000-year-old sarcophagus. “Some things are meant to stay buried,” the tagline reads, an obvious riff on Pet Sematary’s “Sometimes, dead is better.”
