“The Mummy 4: Curse of Christmas Returns” is exactly the kind of wild, unexpected holiday chaos no one saw coming — a supernatural adventure that blends ancient curses with festive terror, bringing Brendan Fraser’s iconic charm back to the big screen in a way that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

Set years after the events of Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Rick and Evelyn O’Connell are trying to enjoy a rare family Christmas in London. But peace never stays long for the O’Connells. When a forbidden artifact — the Ankh of Midwinter — is accidentally activated at the British Museum, it awakens Nekhotep, an ancient high priest whose powers were sealed away thousands of years ago during a sacred winter solstice ritual. Now resurrected with icy, supernatural fury, he seeks to reclaim the world in an endless, cursed winter.

What follows is a globe-spanning adventure filled with blizzards in the desert, cursed snowstorms, undead pharaoh warriors wrapped in frost, and ancient myths crashing straight into Christmas folklore. It sounds insane — and it is — but the film fully commits to the madness, blending humor, heart, and high-stakes action the franchise is beloved for.

Brendan Fraser shines once again as Rick, mixing seasoned heroism with perfectly timed humor, while Rachel Weisz’s return as Evelyn gives the film its emotional center. Their dynamic feels warm and familiar, and their family bond becomes the anchor in a world spiraling into supernatural chaos.
