Overview
- Warner Bros./New Line will release the film in theaters and IMAX on April 17, 2026, alongside the launch of the first teaser, poster and official images.
- According to the logline, a journalist’s daughter vanishes in the desert and returns eight years later, turning a longed-for reunion into a living nightmare.
- The teaser leans into body‑horror with unwrapping imagery, insects and scorpions, and a spider crawling from a mummy’s mouth, closing on the prompt, “What happened to Katie?”, plus a cryptic Morse‑code message from the director.
- Written and directed by Lee Cronin, the film stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace and Verónica Falcón, with James Wan and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse/Atomic Monster and New Line.
- Cronin describes the film as a mystery “puzzle box” influenced by Poltergeist and Se7en, and coverage notes it is unrelated to Universal’s Mummy continuity as negative test‑screening rumors have been disputed by insiders.
