It’s another quiet week at the South African box office, with just two notable film debuts in wider release. Alternatively, you can catch Bollywood horror comedy Bhooth Bangla, Eastern European comedy Svadba, or a BTS World Tour concert performance out of Tokyo, Japan.
Make mummies scary again! Evil Dead Rise filmmaker Lee Cronin lends his name, as well as writing and directing duties, to this new horror film. In Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, the daughter of an American family in Cairo goes missing. Eight years later, she’s found catatonic in a centuries’ old sarcophagus. Rather unsurprisingly, what should be a happy reunion swiftly turns into a nightmare. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is only showing at Ster Kinekor cinemas.
Look out for our review soon.
Get your action kicks this week with Brothers Under Fire. Captain Jordan Wright (Kiefer Sutherland) and his U.S. Special Infantry squad are granted leave to attend their gunner-medic’s wedding in Mexico. However, events at the reception stir up a war with the local cartel, and with the town under siege, Wright and his men must use their combat skills to protect the townsfolk and their found family.
