Under Wraps is a 2021 American family, teen horror television film directed by Alex Zamm and written by Zamm and William Robertson. Produced by Marvista Entertainment and Brightlight Pictures and a remake of the eponymous 1997 film by Greg Beeman,[1] it premiered as a Disney Channel Original Movie on Disney Channel on October 1, 2021.[2]

Premise

A few days before Halloween, twelve-year-old friends Gilbert, Marshall and Amy accidentally revive a mummy they discover in a neighbor's basement. They affectionately name him Harold and must rush to return him to his resting place before midnight on Halloween. Along the way, the team narrowly escapes a nefarious group of criminals intent on selling the mummy to the highest bidder. When Harold is captured, Marshall, Gilbert and Amy must band together to stand up to the criminals, face their fears, and rescue their new—but rather "ancient"—friend.[3]

Joly Herman of Common Sense Media gave it four out of five stars, emphasizing its diversity, spookiness and comedy.[9] Sarah Musnicky of Nightmarish Conjurings gave the film a positive review.[10] Matthew "Matt" Artz of Halloween Daily News called the film "a quality Disney family viewing with just enough chills to peak kids’ interest in scary stories, plus wholesome laughs, and a positive message, resurrecting a beloved mummy character to inspire courage in his new friends" whiles also commenting that it is ""also loaded with colorful Halloween atmosphere, and features a rousing sequence", "brings all the nostalgia for the generation who grew up watching the original film".[11]
