If Evil Dead Rise was a "rocket ship fuelled by blood" then Lee Cronin's new Mummy movie is "more of a maze", says the director: "There's a hard-boiled detective streak"

A young girl swaddled in rags awakening from death.

Fans of Lee Cronin's Evil Dead sequel are in for a totally different experience with his take on The Mummy, as the director likens the two movies to separate fairground rides.

"Evil Dead Rise was a very clear roller coaster ride. It reaches a point and… it's kind of like a rocket ship fuelled by blood, and it just goes and goes," said Cronin in an interview with SFX Magazine. "This movie is a different type of fairground attraction. It's more of a maze, and you don't know whether you're going to go left or right next, but you're not in control. Ideally, if I'm doing a good job, I've got my hand on your back, and I'm telling you which way to go."
