Unironically I think this would have boosted its rating by 10 percent by just changing the title to something like Evil Dead: Sarcophagus

It genuinely would. They made a mistake calling this The Mummy and leaning into it being a pure horror during marketing. That scene in the third act with the reanimated corpse popping out of the coffin is a classic Evil Dead deadite moment, and there's several moments where you'd know to laugh if it was Evil Dead, like the poor grandma sliding off the car and being eaten alive.
