What is the ending?

Charlie's sacrifice does not save everyone in a clean way. Katie is freed from the demon and starts recovering, Charlie becomes the new host, and the Magician is still alive at the end and is taken into custody again before Dalia and Larissa confront her one last time.

Katie returns to her family, no longer possessed, and begins reconnecting with her siblings. Charlie willingly takes the demon into himself from Katie, and the film leaves him mummified and confined, still able to signal "I love you" by tapping in Morse code from inside the coffin. The Magician survives the main events, ends up imprisoned in Cairo, and Dalia and Larissa later visit her cell; they sedate her and wheel in the mummified Charlie, setting up the transfer of the demon from Charlie into the Magician.

At the final moment described in the available sources, Charlie is brought in as a living mummy, the Magician is restrained and about to face the consequences of her role in the tragedy, and the story closes on that reversal rather than on a full resolution.

Katie is found and brought home, then freed from possession and begins to recover. Charlie becomes the demon's next vessel and remains alive inside the sarcophagus, later communicating affection to his family in Morse code. The Magician remains alive as well, is incarcerated, and is prepared to receive the demon herself in the closing prison scene.

Scene by scene, the ending unfolds like this:

Katie's family learns the truth from the VHS tape showing that The Magician used Katie as a vessel for the ancient demon Nasmaranian. Charlie watches the ritual and chooses to repeat it on himself, taking the demon out of Katie and into his own body. Katie is left free of the possession and begins to return to herself. Charlie is bound in a coffin or sarcophagus, physically transformed into a mummy-like figure, but he remains conscious enough to tap out "I love you" to his family. Some time later, Dalia and Larissa go to the prison where The Magician is held. They bring in Charlie, now mummified, and restrain The Magician so the ritual can be turned back onto her. The ending stops there, with the demon's next transfer underway and the main conflict pushed onto The Magician.

The main characters' fates at the end are:

Katie: freed from possession and recovering. Charlie: alive, mummified, and carrying the demon. Larissa: alive and part of the final plan against The Magician. Dalia: alive and helping carry out the final confrontation. The Magician: alive, imprisoned, and about to become the next vessel.

Who dies?

Yes. The film features several on-screen deaths, and the most clearly identified casualties are the father, Carmen Santiago, and the unnamed grandmother who is ultimately killed during the family's escalating possession crisis.

  • The father of Katie, Seb, and Maud dies early in the story in Aswan, Egypt, when the family discovers a buried black pyramid beneath their home and a black basalt sarcophagus inside it. According to the synopsis, the mummified remains inside begin moving, and the father is killed by a supernatural force at that point, before the family's later move to New Mexico.

  • Carmen Santiago dies after Katie, under the influence of the Nasmaranian, takes fuller control of her siblings and kills her. The available synopsis places this killing after Katie has begun shedding her bindings and exerting possession over the family, leading to Carmen's death as part of the possession-driven violence inside the Cannon household.

  • The grandmother dies during the film's funeral-related horror sequence. The sources describe her being attacked, choked with a cross or rosary, thrown out a window, and then mauled by wolves after falling onto a car; one source specifically describes her falling to her death after being thrown through the window, and another adds that the wolves finish the killing.

  • An aggressive Magician is shot dead by Zaki in the climax. One ending-explanation source states that Zaki shoots the Magician, who is attacking others, and kills him during the final confrontation.

There is also an important distinction with Charlie: one source says he willingly sacrifices himself when Dalia transfers the Nasmaranian into him, but another synopsis indicates he is later found alive, bound in a coffin, tapping "I love you" in Morse code. Based on that conflict, Charlie does not clearly count as a confirmed death from the available material.

If you want, I can also give you a scene-by-scene death chronology in the order they occur in the film.

Is there a post-credit scene?

No. Reports on Lee Cronin's The Mummy say there is no post-credits scene or mid-credits scene, so you do not need to stay through the credits to catch anything extra.

In practical terms, the film's story is said to end with the final scene, with no additional teaser, stinger, or sequel hook after the credits roll.
