Isis Rising: Curse of the Lady Mummy (2013)
In ancient Egypt, Isis and Osiris ruled the land. All were happy for the couple except one, Set, a jealous man who killed Osiris in order to take over his kingdom. Isis snuck into Osiris' tomb and tried to raise him from the dead using her black magic. Set caught Isis in the act and had Osiris cut to pieces, with each piece buried in a different part of the land, so Isis could never again raise her husband. Isis vowed to avenge Osiris' death and return with him to rule over all the worlds. Now, six college students take their last course in archeology in anticipation for graduation. Their last assignment is to uncover and document the museum's new acquisitions with their teacher, Prof. Shields and world-renowned Egyptologist Dr. Nasir. During the night they haphazardly awaken the ancient spirit of Isis' lost soul and her wrath is unleashed on the group.

Truly Dreadful Film
Good concept, poorly executed.
It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
"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.
I really enjoyed this movie. For a lower-budget movie, it was very well done. The acting was great and the camera work, lighting and sound were all very good.It kept me on my toes as to who was going to die and who was going to live. The storyline was great and to have a female mummy vs. male was refreshing. I thought there was just enough drama and sex to keep the viewer interested but was thankful that there was not too much swearing and the sex parts left a lot up to the viewers imagination. It was tastefully done and well written.
This is what porn film looks like...only without the porn...The acting is terrible and pointless...The music couldn't be worse...techno...super aggressive techno even.....really!I'm used to seeing this in adult films where all this crap eventually leads to SOMETHING! But this here leads to nothing at all except for ...I don't know... a really really bad history lesson.For the love of god... They even animated the smoke that comes out of their mouths when they smoke...The effects are dreadful and clear evidence of a VERY low budget or simply no innovation. I've seen college kids during drama classes perform better than what I've seen here...Jeezzzz! This is not what you would consider your ordinary film... It's just an epic amateur compilation of lame footage with beautiful women... Your average adult film simply without any action. I don't recommend anyone watching this unless you wanna see Priya Rai performing in a different way... There is simply nothing else to come for.
Ms. Rai appears on screen for less than 10 minutes, there isn't even any real nudity! In the first scene her brazier is painted on, but that's as close as it gets. There's some relatively good looking women, but they are not interesting characters nor do they "keep it interesting" in other ways. Don't even fast forward through this one looking for the good part, because there isn't one. The crappy, "serious acting" Sasha Grey vehicles were better than this. Ms. Rai could have a very lucrative career as an executive in the field that made her wealthy and famous. Why she feels the need to release something like that that no one is particularly interested in and that makes her look worse than she than she did in her previous career, as she was quite well suited for and talented at it, is beyond me.
