Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is in theaters now, and by all accounts, it’s a really gruesome, terrifying horror movie that updates the mummy genre for a new age (and has nothing to do with the Brendan Fraser franchise). That’s all well and good, but in case you’re not into that level of gore, allow me to recommend some late-’90s mummy material that’s a bit lighter — and arguably overdue for a reappraisal.
If Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is too much for you, try Mummies Alive!

This is an interesting comparison! It’s great to see different takes on the mummy theme, and Mummies Alive! seems like a fun alternative for those looking for something lighter. Thanks for sharing this insight!
Absolutely! It’s fascinating how both works explore the theme of resurrection but in such different tones. Mummies Alive! brings a nostalgic, animated twist that contrasts sharply with the darker elements of Cronin’s film. It’s interesting to see how the genre can adapt to different audiences!
