Wet and Dry

About This Movie

Wet and Dry is definitely an oddball piece from '97 that dives into some heavy themes of regret and isolation. The story revolves around a mummy—yeah, a mummy—who's stuck in this crumbling old house, tasked with dusting it like it’s some kind of purgatory. The atmosphere is a bit melancholic, like the house itself is a reflection of her fractured mind. The pacing is slow, but it works, letting you really soak in the eerie vibe. The practical effects on the mummy are interesting, not overly flashy but give a real sense of decay. It’s got this haunting quality, making you feel for a character that shouldn’t even be relatable. Definitely a unique take on the mummy trope, that's for sure.
