‘Lee Cronin’s The Mummy’ is less passion project than embalming by committee

We’re still trying to understand what Cronin’s involvement really signifies. His last film was “Evil Dead Rise,” which largely followed the path set by Fede Alvarez’s 2013 remake of Sam Raimi’s classic horror comedies. At a time when horror is thriving and even gaining critical acclaim (like with the Oscar-winning “Witch”), Lee Cronin feels like a reliable, traditional filmmaker who delivers a standard, if unremarkable, horror experience.
