¡Menuda momia!

My GF told me "under wraps is coming to Disney plus!" Actually surprised, I reinstated my membership just to watch this throwback. Sure as s*** it's some new teeny-bopper version of it. In dismay, I watched this new version, and to no surprise I wasn't thrilled. The original movie was in part spooky, part funny, and mystery. This movie I feel tries too hard to make the mummy modern? Or humanized even though he is a human? The actors in this are also god awe full, and the mummy looks like some human/dog hybrid in a lab. Definitely did not do the original justice, and if this is what we can expect for Haunted Mansion, they can keep all of it lol.

You can't really expect anything amazing about this movie but kids will love it and who doesn't love Halloween? (well, you know what i mean)

Marshall loves horror movies. His best friend Gilbert does not. It's Halloween coming up. Marshall challenges Gilbert to ding dong ditch and it goes badly. There is something strange going on in that house. Amy is the new girl at school. Her two dads had split up and she can't wait to get out of town. She's an aspiring writer and recruits the two best friends in an investigation into the house with a suspected mummy.

This is a preteen children's horror comedy and a remake of a 1997 Disney movie. I've never seen the original. The kids are a newbie, a Disney veteran, and a voice over actor. The production is similarly a mixed bag. It's a kiddie movie with a kiddie mummy. There's limited CGI and nothing that flashy. Some of it is basically home-made. I like it, sort of. I like the amateurism of the kids. I like the silliness and campiness of the mummy although there could be less of him in one scene. I like the general sense of the group. The bad guys could be scarier. I'm guessing that they dial down the horror aspect for the little kids. Non of this is anything scary. It's fine for younger ones.

Idk the original was one of my favorite Disney movies as a kid and this one is just, idk my own opinion but dang they do not make them how they used to!!!

Some of the things they did with the story were good, but this just misses out on the snappy dialogue and fun sight gags of the original. I think overall this just feels too safe, Disney isn't really trying anything new or pushing any boundaries.
