Excellent but underrated film

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

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.

"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.

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
