OH YEAH! Finally, a theatrical sequel to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode where Frylock is huggin’ The Mummy! I’ve been waiting all week to see this anticipated return to form in the genre of mummy movies. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy was one of the wildest scary movies I’ve ever seen, and I must answer the difficult question: is it WORTH WATCHING?
Kay I’m gonna start talkin’ about something else…
I was doing some business in New York City with another person that was also in New York City for the purposes of this story. He didn’t seem to want to agree to the full terms of the deal. “Why do I have to get only soup and salad for my next three unrelated professional business dinners?” and “Why do I have to be dressed in cosplay at the moment I sign the contract?” are the kind of questions he would ask me. My acquaintance just couldn’t seem to see the big picture.
Drawma Kingg: If we offer you 7 more U.S. dollars, will you take the deal?
Business Person: 8 dollars, no cosplay.
Drawma Kingg: Ugh, my employer won’t be happy about this… 6 dollars, no cosplay.
Business Person: Sparky chum, that right there is a deal.
[Signs contract]
Drawma Kingg: I was surprised you were focused on the cosplay paragraph more than the one about the corporation getting to name your first two children.
Business Person: Dressing in cosplay of my choosing would have been humiliating.
Drawma Kingg: Well just wait till you have Gloopy and Moppin’ in your life.
Business Person: What?
Drawma Kingg: Oh never mind.
NOW: Back to whatever I was talking about…
Is It WORTH WATCHING: Yes for those that can handle intense/gross horror. No, for those with a mid to low tolerance.
Final Thoughts: 7.5/10 Crowns. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy was legitimately scary in a few different ways, and the story was interesting enough. Particularly, the film was frightening in terms of the “family horror” subgenre — by having a supernaturally possessed family member just sleeping over there in the next room every night. One highly relatable scary scene: just when you think coyotes are cute, they start eating you! DISAPPOINTMENT! Such a feeling arrived because there was no Shake, Meatwad, OR Frylock anywhere in the whole movie! Makes you wonder if it was even an Aqua Teen sequel to begin with, yet each viewer must decide that for themselves!
