Isis Rising: Curse of the Lady Mummy

Previous reviewers pretty much summed up the plot so I:

a)Wont bother and b)actually fast forwarded though most of the film c)Had to stop the parts I did watch to wipe away my tears of laughter

The ONLY person that should ever be re-hired is the special effects guy and that's it. The characters were weak, shallow and predictable. The writer/director, please don't quit your day job. The props people, really the book of the UN-dead was bound and the Egyptian hieroglyphics looked like the ones I wrote when I was nine; mine were better by the way.

How did this film ever see the light of day I'll never know but do yourself a favor and don't ever watch it.

This film begins with an Egyptian pharaoh named "Osiris" (Cameron Tevis) being killed and subsequently dismembered by his brother "Set" (Wilman Vergara Jr.) who covets the kingdom and his brother's wife "Isis" (Priya Rai). What Set doesn't count on, however, is her complete rejection of him. Neither does he fully grasp her powers as a sorcereress and when he then discovers that she plans on resurrecting Osiris he kills her as well. The scene then shift to the present with a small group of college students assembling in a museum to study some ancient Egyptian relics. Being quite obnoxious, some of them decide to inhale some incense they find not realizing that it is used for black magic ceremonies. Meanwhile, in another room, another student named "Amy" (Aria Song) just happens to be read aloud some hyrogliphics without realizing that these very words are necessary to resurrect to bring Isis back from the dead. Needless to say, things take a definite turn for the worse for everyone involved from that point on. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an ultra low-budget production which suffered badly as a result. Although Seth Ganrud (as "Dr. Nasir") and the aforementioned Aria Song performed well enough, the bad sets, cheap props and elementary scripts had an effect which made it difficult for anybody to really showcase whatever talent they had and doomed this film from the very beginning. That being said, the bottom line is that this turned out to be an awful movie and I have no choice but to rate it accordingly.

Wow. Just wow. This movie was awful in every aspect possible.

So where to start?

Well, lets just start with the storyline. "Isis Rising: Curse of the Lady Mummy" is about an ancient mummy brought to life, the mummy of Isis, a wicked sorceress of the black arts. A group of young students, led by their professor and a historian of ancient Egyptian lore is spending a night in a museum to study a recent donation of Egyptian artifacts that have been donated to the museum. In their reckless stupor, the young teens accidentally awakens Isis from her cursed slumber.

There are so many plot holes and errors to this movie that it is just gruesome to behold. For starters, why would a group of college student be granted unsupervised access to priceless Egyptian artifacts in relations to their studies? And one thing that irritated me beyond mortal comprehension was why would Isis's spells be written in perfect English and why did she herself speak perfect English? She was from ancient Egypt for the love of all that is unholy. And while we are on the topic of spells, that book of spells that she wrote was in mint condition and perfectly bound like a proper library book! It was just so epically lame.

Then lets move on to the acting, or what was meant to resemble acting. It was amazing how an entire cast of actors and actresses could muster such a wooden performance individually and together in unison. It was hard to buy into, because it was as if the actors and actresses themselves didn't even buy into the movie.

The CGI effects were so poor that even SyFy Channel and The Asylum would have a field day with them.

And the sets looked like they were made in the local high school as part of a wood shop project. And it really made the movie become even harder to take serious and buy into.

Lets stop for awhile and look at the title, "Isis Rising: Curse of the Lady Mummy". Isis Rising? Well, that part I can understand, but Curse of the Lady Mummy, that part doesn't sit well with me. First of all, she wasn't mummified, she was just entombed in a sarcophagus without the proper ritual of mummification, so she is NOT a mummy!

"Isis Rising: Curse of the Lady Mummy" is a shameful insult to just about every mummy movie ever made, and it is a wonder that I made it through to the end. I guess it was a bizarre lust to see just what epic fail thing would turn up next on the screen that kept me glued to the seat, because it sure wasn't the story, the acting, the effects, or anything else for that matter.

22 votes and a 6.3 - Most of which I'm guessing are connected to the films production in some way. The acting is of the worst I have ever seen in a supposed horror film, the story is OK but is so poorly executed and boring that it's hard to stay interested in what's going on. I found myself pottering about and doing other things while it was playing because I was so utterly bored. The effects (What few there are), would make the Asylum blush in embarrassment.

This is a terrible, zero budget and completely boring film with absolutely no redeeming features. The acting, camera work, music, direction and SFX are bottom of the barrel stuff.

Avoid at all costs. 1/10

With a title that includes Lady Mummy you knew this wasn't going to be award winning stuff and that assumption is somewhat of an understatement.

With a porn star antagonist, a cast with such little talent it feels like you're watching a 3rd grade nativity play and sfx done by monkeys there really isn't much going on here in Isis Rising.

Considering the titular character is a porn star the movie doesn't even have anything in the way of T&A which was surprising.

Cringe inducing "Horror" at it's worst, no consistency, poorly made and with no redeeming features.

The Good:

I'll get back to you on that one

The Bad:

The acting, especially Priya Rai

The awful sfx
