Lee Cronin's The Mummy is heading to HBO Max on July 3, making it one of the huge new movies heading to the streaming service that month.

The horror movie is a reimagining of The Mummy franchise and features Nasmaranian, an ancient Egyptian demon that possesses victims. The chilling story follows a family who are reunited with their long-missing, mummified daughter, only to learn something is very wrong with her.

This is a much gorier take on the story than the famous Mummy series starring Brendan Fraser, and the movie features scenes of body horror and plenty of great scares.

Take a look at the trailer ahead of its streaming debut.
