Isis Rising: Curse of the Lady Mummy
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.
A low-budget dive into Egyptian mythology meets college campus horror, where curses and ancient vengeance collide in uneven but earnest fashion.
- Practical effects and mummy lore lean into classic monster movie vibes, even if the execution feels rough around the edges.
- For fans of niche archeological curses and occult archaeology, it scratches a specific itch rarely explored outside big-budget productions.
- The college setting adds a familiar teen survival angle, though character work and pacing occasionally drag.
- Not for those seeking polished scares, but worth a look for devotees of regional indie horror tapping into ancient mythos with passion.
