episode Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) - family reunion from hell cover

Description

Lee Cronin delivers a fresh horror spin on the classic Universal monster franchise. When a young girl who vanished in the desert years earlier suddenly returns to her family, what should be a joyful reunion quickly turns terrifying as they realise she is not the same daughter they lost. We discuss how this version leans heavily into body horror, jump scares and an unsettling atmosphere rather than action-adventure, comparing it to past Mummy films, whilst debating the conventional possession tropes it shares with The Conjuring movies. Later in the conversation, we chat about the gruesome practical effects and have a good-natured disagreement about character decisions.

Backrooms (2026) - exploring subliminal space

Directed by 20-year-old Kane Parsons in his feature-length debut, this psychological sci-fi horror expands upon his viral YouTube web series. The story follows Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a furniture store owner who discovers a seemingly endless dimension of liminal spaces in his basement. Alongside his therapist Mary (Renate Reinsve), he descends into a labyrinth of unsettling, yellow-wallpapered rooms that defy reality. The film also stars Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, and Lukita Maxwell. In this episode of Rogue Reviews, we are joined by Matt Hillier, our first ever guest on the show. We discuss the rising trend of YouTubers making the leap to feature filmmaking, how the film successfully trades cheap jump scares for genuine atmospheric discomfort, and why its ambiguous, dream-like logic works in its favour.
