The Mummy director defends the new Universal movie's "domestic setting" as he suggests the franchise's unique horrors shouldn't "be limited to tourists in Cairo"

A young girl swaddled in rags awakening from death.

The Mummy director Lee Cronin says the new Universal pic doesn't need to take place in Egypt in order to be absolutely terrifying.

"What I liked about it was it's a mummy movie set in a domestic setting, which no one's seen before," Cronin says in the latest issue of SFX."What's more frightening? A spider in the forest, or a spider beside your face in your bed? It's the latter. So trying to bring the horror home is something I'm always really interested in doing."
