Movies that feel likeThe Mummy (2017)

Though safely entombed in a crypt deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient queen whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia, and terrors that defy human comprehension.

If you loved The Mummy, the closest films we have are Day Watch (2006), Train to Busan (2016) and Sinners (2025). All three share The Mummy's tense and kinetic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Ziam (2025).
