The reality in occult cinema is no longer just the reality in the movie, but also a realm of the predictable dystopian world that human beings will face. This paper examines the characteristics of occult cinema in the films of The Mummy (2017) and Exhuma(2024). The feelings of anger that the protagonists express towards the world in the two movies are motivated by a strong desire for a new utopia that they want to tell the world about. The boundary between 'real' and 'fake' coexists with the subject and the abject, and as the realm of the ‘Chora’ leads to chaos and fear. However, the space and realm around it takes on the character of the potential that Gilles Deleuze claims. Since the process of reproducing horror feelings and resolving them are ultimately up to humans, the object of the occult genre remains the process of finding the essence of human beings and its ontological meaning, and the dystopia in the occult genre is reinterpreted to mean the desire of human beings to find utopia.
