Isis Rising: Curse of the Lady Mummy

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

Don't watch it. Trust me it's a fraud. They wants you to believe there's something exciting scenes because of priya rai is in the movie but don't fall for that, there's nothing that interests you. Horrible movie!!

"ISIS Rising" (2013) is a film with no educational value, and I can't believe anyone could find it helpful in understanding the terrifying events connected with ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Throughout this film's entire running length, it yields no genuine insight into the international crisis. Indeed, it doesn't even provide the viewer with any information whatsoever! I'd rate it at a 0 out of 10.

The filmmakers here made a truly bizarre major creative decision in trying to inform the viewer via … metaphor? We are actually introduced early on to a character name "ISIS." She is, inexplicably, a buxom female mummy. No … you read that right. ISIS is represented by a major character who is a big-bosomed, female mummy. She fights a male mummy (presumably representing Western democracies?!). In fact, the entire film plays out like a low- budget pageant set in ancient Egypt. Why was that choice made? How does the pantheon of ancient Egyptian Gods relate to radical Islam in the modern world? Isn't that a bit like employing Roman mythology as a metaphor for contemporary Christianity, Judaism, or another modern religion?

There is a preponderance of breasts. What did they symbolize? Iraq and Syria? When ISIS the lady mummy clutches her breasts, does that represent the terrorist army clutching the two countries in its grip? And what about the barely dressed male mummy? Should I be offended that the United States and her allies are represented by some guy's giant schvantz?

Skip this.

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

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.
