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.

Very best movie i ever watch
Nice effects though.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
"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.
Dear God... this is one of the worst things that I have ever watched. Everything about this movie is awful. Everything. I am not exaggerating in the slightest. I'm beyond words, actually. There's so much wrong with this, that there's nowhere I can begin. Just please. Please. Please for the love of humanity, do everything possible to avoid this garbage. The beginning so horrible, that I thought, "Well, it can't get any worst than this..." I was wrong. The graphics are horrible. My three year old makes better effects with crayons. The director/writer/actors/editors, obviously have no shame... by releasing this madness unto the public, it proves that anyone will do anything to make a buck. There are no mummies. There are no actors that deliver any good lines. The script is horribly written. This is just awful in every way imaginable.
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 Movie has absolutely ONE THING going for it: Priya Rai.The acting in this movie is terrible: no skill or craft at all. Troma Films have better actors than this drivel. The ONLY exception is Priya Rai.For those of you who might recognize that name, she used to be a adult film star, and recently retired from porn to do more non-adult films - SHE made more of an effort than anyone in the film to act and didn't look too cheesy doing so in the process. Since this is her first non-adult film, I'll go easy on her, and it's the only reason I give this movie a 1-star - that star is for her. Even great actors started from the bottom.Beyond that: there is nothing else going for this film. There is no need to give you any spoiler warnings, because the bad acting, bad "Sound effects", poor lighting, and abysmal "Special Effects" completely make you lose interest in the entire film.Watch the film to see Priya Rai in a very tight "outfit" for a "mummy", and as soon as you do, return the movie back to the video store, and ask for your money back.
