The Mummy 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Plastic wrapped in metal.

Reviewed by Randy Miller III July 11, 2026

Available alongside their standard 4K and Blu-ray editions, Warner Bros. also offers this Limited Edition Steelbook 4K/Blu-ray combo pack of Lee Cronin's The Mummy, directed by, well, Lee Cronin. As with the studio's other recent Steelbooks, the two draws here are collectable packaging and having both formats (which used to be the rule, not the exception), since on-disc contents are exactly the same as those found on their widely-released counterparts.

For a synopsis and roast of Lee Cronin's The Mummy, please see either recent review linked above. Needless to say I was not a fan of this one as, aside from a pretty impressive supportive performance by Natalie Grace ("Katie", a young girl who's the latest to be wrapped up) as well as the practical blood and gore effects, it's a pretty dismal experience even by lukewarm modern horror standards. If you've already seen Lee Cronin's The Mummy enjoyed it, feel free to indulge, but first-timers looking to test the waters should seek out a cheaper version or stream it first.

The Mummy 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

This two-disc release ships in a matte-finish Steelbook that makes a good first impression, using superior poster-themed artwork for its front cover and also including a secret Morse Code message too -- I think it's something about Ovaltine. The back cover and interior splash image are less creative, depicting separate images of Katie either fully revealed or under various amounts of dressing. I think the cover would've been even better with a transparent "face reveal" similar to the American Psycho 4K Steelbook , but it's still pretty cool nonetheless.

As for the extras, they're identical to the 4K and Blu-ray releases and present on both discs.

The Mummy 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

The Mummy somehow turned a profit at the box office back in April, proving that franchise and producer name value still works. But this is an unusually bad genre exercise where cheap scares and unsettling moments clearly outnumber even basic levels of logic and story depth, both of with are so thin that they're practically transparent. Warner Bros.' Limited Edition Steelbook offers both the 4K and Blu-ray discs in collectable packaging; this makes it a perfect choice for fans with some extra cash to burn, but newcomers should proceed with extreme caution.
