Samira Ahmed Criticizes 'Mummy' Poster
The poster has sparked a wider debate about the boundaries of horror movie marketing in public spaces, with some commuters expressing disgust at the graphic depiction.
Director Lee Cronin's hard-R interpretation of the mummy mythology has been described as one of the year's most visceral and gory films.
While some have ridiculed Ahmed's complaint, others have called for the removal of the advertisements from the London Underground.
The controversy comes as the film receives mixed reviews for its 'messy' but 'frightening' take on the classic monster.
