Movies Out This Weekend: 'The Mummy,' 'It Comes at Night' And 'Megan Leavey'

Get the verdict on the much-anticipated "The Mummy" plus reviews of "It Comes at Night," "Megan Leavey" and "My Cousin Rachel."

Opening This Weekend

"The Mummy" — Tom Cruise, Sofia Boutella, directed by Alex Kurtzman

Tom Cruise headlines "The Mummy" franchise reboot directed by Alex Kurtzman. The latest iteration tells the story of a malevolent and vengeful ancient princess (Sofia Boutella) awakened from her tomb beneath the desert. As she wreaks havoc in the modern day, she curses Cruise's character, Nick Morton, with mummy-like powers.

See it. Check out Patch's full review of all the chills and thrills.

A psychologically fueled horror movie, "It Comes at Night" is a tale of survival in a doomsday world. The setup? Meet Paul (Joel Edgerton), who's living with his family in a home tucked away in the woods. When their quiet life is threatened, so are their core values of morality and humanity. Hauntingly intense, this screenplay is complemented by magnificent performances, powerful visuals and an eerie film score.

See it. At its core, "It Comes at Night" is about protecting the ones you love the most. But brace yourself to see what's behind that creepy red door.

Based on a true story, "Megan Leavey" explores the remarkable bond between Marine Corporal Megan Leavey (Kate Mara) and her military combat dog Rex. After Leavey is wounded in an explosion, she is awarded a Purple Heart and sent home, while Rex gets redeployed. Before long, it becomes Leavey's lifelong mission to adopt her best friend. Although the run time (120 minutes) is a bit too long, this story is touching and triumphant.

See it. Just don’t forget the tissues.

"My Cousin Rachel" — Rachel Weisz, Sam Claflin, directed by Roger Michell

A period drama set in 19th century England, "My Cousin Rachel" is a screen adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's 1951 novel about suspicion and romance. Written and directed by Roger Michell, this psychological thriller is a captivating cat-and-mouse game between an impressionable man (Sam Claflin) and Rachel (Rachel Weisz), the mysterious widow of his beloved cousin Ambrose. With two excellent leads, my only gripe is that the screenplay could have used a bit more danger and darkness.

See it. You’ll be left wondering, "Did she?" Didn’t she?" "Who's to blame?”
