Isis Rising: Curse of the Lady Mummy (2013)

Really Surprised!

Pretty Good

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

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 Things I learnt from this movie: You can get stabbed in the stomach repeatedly and still have absolutely no wounds at all on your corpse Painted on bra's were all the thing in ancient Egypt Isis's god powers merely blind humans but are powerful enough to not only kill her but those around her as well

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.

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.

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.
