The Curse of the Pharaohs is a downloadable content (DLC) expansion for the game Assassin's Creed Origins. It was released on March 13, 2018, and takes players on a journey through ancient Egypt's mystical and supernatural elements. In this DLC, players join the protagonist Bayek as he travels to Thebes, the city of the god Amon-Ra, to investigate a curse that is plaguing the region. The curse seems to bring pharaohs back to life, creating undead manifestations known as the "Pharaoh's Shadows." These Shadows are causing chaos and terrorizing the people. As Bayek delves deeper into the mystery, he encounters different pharaohs, each with their own unique abilities and challenges.
You'll recognize MANY Buchanan regulars in this as well. They're easy to spot from the other flicks. 3 stars because Buchanan really made his movies on the fly and they are a product of the times.
While Brenda tries to seduce the information she desires out of the oil man, her official boyfriend, Ritchie Mars Needs Women s Cal Duggan , sneaks into West s room, looking for maps, charts, or anything else that could help the conspirators divine just where in the marshes the oil is likely to be found. Thus we have now lined up the last three set-pieces from Voodoo Woman that have yet to be duplicated here Ritchie s attack on a native girl, which finally turns the voodoo villagers against Trent who, as Ritchie s host, would be expected to take some kind of responsibility for his guest s behavior ; the meeting between Pat and Rogers that provides the woman with an escape route when the shit hits the fan at last; and most importantly, the monsterization of Brenda Simmons, whom Trent subjects to his experimental treatment after Pat euthanizes Tom.
As Bayek delves deeper into the mystery, he encounters different pharaohs, each with their own unique abilities and challenges.

Subject: Near the middle of Buchanan's contract with AIP
Contrary to what many think, Larry Buchanan DID have the rights to do these color made for TV remakes. He signed a deal with AIP to make films tyhe studio owned the rights to. While Corman may have made the original films for In the Year 2889 and Zontar, AIP owned them and they wanted someone to at least make color updates for TV. Who better than the man who works with almost no budget Larry Buchanan.
This movie's got a little more star power than the others made by Buchanan. Instead of just John Agar, we get John Agar and Francine York who plays the mad scientist's wife.
The movie is slow going which wouldn't be such a problem if the plot were more interesting. Much of it looks to be shot on location which is impressive.
The usual issues found in Buchanan's films are here. Bad attempts at day for night being the most obvious. Other issues is fairly flat acting.

Subject: B Monster Flick - if you like them, watch this one
A nice diversion. Nothing believable here but the plot is different even if the script is weak and acting wooden for the most part. Nice location shots, one of the goofiest looking monsters ever, right up there with the Eye Creatures. Watch for the edge of the mask on the back of the neck of the actor at the climax. The third star is for originality in the plot.

This is another film by the great Larry Buchanan, who re-used a lot of his monster suits in a number of his films.
Still waiting for a copy of The Loch Ness Horror to surface somewhere now.

I remember uploading this about a year ago and found out recently it was taken for some reason. I've tried to find out why, but to this day the whys and wherefores are still a mystery. That being said, there have been not one but two people who've been kind enough to re-upload this film. I checked out both uploads and this file was the better quality. It's even better than the one I had up. A special thank you to Mystic for putting this up. Since it's better than my copy, I'll be adding this to my collection.
One of the key features of The Curse of the Pharaohs DLC is the introduction of a new leveling system. Players can now level up to Level 55, unlocking new skills and abilities to aid them in their quest. Additionally, the DLC introduces new weapons, outfits, and mounts that players can acquire and use throughout the game. The expansion also delves deeper into the lore and history of ancient Egypt, exploring the mythology and beliefs of the time. Players will encounter various Egyptian gods and mythical creatures, adding a supernatural element to the game. Overall, The Curse of the Pharaohs DLC offers an exciting and immersive experience for players of Assassin's Creed Origins. It expands upon the rich world-building of the main game and provides a challenging and intriguing storyline set in ancient Egypt's mystical realm. Whether you're a fan of the Assassin's Creed series or simply interested in ancient history and mythology, this DLC is a must-play..
Reviews for "AC Origins' Curse of the Pharaohs DLC: A Trip to the Afterlife Like No Other"
1. John Smith - 1/5
The Curse of the Pharaohs was a massive disappointment for me. While I enjoyed the base game of Assassin's Creed Origins, this DLC simply fell flat. The storyline felt disjointed and poorly developed, leaving me confused and uninterested in the events unfolding. Furthermore, the gameplay was riddled with bugs and glitches, which greatly affected my overall experience. It's a shame because I had high hopes for this expansion, but it failed to deliver.
2. Sarah Johnson - 2/5
I found Curse of the Pharaohs to be underwhelming and lackluster. The addition of the supernatural element, although interesting in theory, felt forced and out of place in the overall narrative of the game. The new areas to explore did not have the same level of detail and intricacy as the base game, leaving me feeling unengaged and uninspired. Additionally, the repetitive side quests and lack of meaningful character development left much to be desired. Overall, while it's not the worst DLC I've played, it certainly didn't live up to my expectations.
