First thing I've seen Kit Harrington in since Game of Thrones, I'd forgotten what a fantastic actor he is.
Unfortunately the story breaks the most basic rule of horror by showing us the monster right from the start, taking away all mystique. I was also befuddled by what the hysteric laughter at the end meant, but I guess they left that up to us for interpretation.
No idea what Bellingham's motivations were for bringing the mummies to life - knowledge? What knowledge exactly. Power? What power exactly. Had he been bringing 250 to life all this time as a backup mummy? Were the mummies friends? Who knows
Also at the beginning, we're very pointedly shown Bellingham with the opioid substance on his hand, and he then goes to pointedly shake KH's character by the hand. I thought he was tricking him by transferring the opioid over, but nope. Didn't come up again.
Enjoyed the Sherlock interlude, without the name being dropped explicitly. Overall a bit of a let down, but very much carried by the lead performance. Will still look forward to next years, it's become a fun tradition.
