Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Coventry This movie instantly reminded me of a board game that I used to play at family parties when I was young. I believe it was named "Escape from King Tut's Pyramid" and your little figure had to find its way out from a pyramid full of death traps, deadly scarabs, malicious sphinxes and rotting mummies. That's pretty much also the plot description for "The Pyramid", although sadly I didn't spot any scarabs or mummies. It has always been my modest opinion that there don't exist enough horror movies dealing with the Ancient Egypt and the creepy Egyptian deities (like Anubis, Ra or Osiris) so I was quite enthusiast to watch "The Pyramid", especially when I read that it was the directorial debut for Gregory Levasseur who also co-wrote a few very decent horror films like "High Tension", "P2" and "Maniac". Unfortunately, "The Pyramid" was already removed from cinemas after only a week in my country, due to abysmal box office results, and I had almost forgotten about it until it got aired on television. The film is partially in "found-footage" filming style and partially in regular third person perspective. I truly dislike found-footage movies, and to mix it with normal camera work is particularly dumb, but apart from that "The Pyramid" isn't at all bad. Perhaps I was in an undemanding mood, but the film is fast-paced and gruesome, and Levasseur tries hard to insert tension & atmosphere. Two archeologists, father and daughter, are followed around by a two-headed TV-crew who are shooting a documentary about their diggings in Egypt. They just made the discovery of the century: a completely unknown three-sized pyramid that has been buried deep beneath the ground for thousands of years and probably homes many valuable treasures and wall-paintings. The group are about to descent into the pyramid when they receive urgent instructions to leave the country, because the Arabian Revolution riots broke out in Cairo and the situation isn't safe for foreigners. They stubbornly refuse to abandon their discovery, naturally, and continue with the exploration of the pyramid. They first send in a hi-tech NASA-developed robot camera, but are forced to enter themselves when all images and radio contact are lost. The plot is of course very implausible and becomes increasingly absurd when approaching the finale, but you simply must accept this in case you want to see at least some gore and spectacle. In the vast majority of found-footage movies, absolutely nothing happens except for hysterical screaming, shaking cameras and extremely vague footage of blurry monsters. I still prefer straightforward horror, even when it's sheer nonsense and too obviously computer-generated. Don't look for logic or intelligence too much, just enjoy the sight of malevolent semi-canine gods, fierce rat/cat creatures, impalements and ripped out hearts.

almaric777 The human characters are all trite and irritating, but the creatures are the stars and make this movie worth watching. The pyramid itself is somewhat intriguing and the backstory passable. A few gruesome parts. I kept expecting Indiana Jones to show up and save the day! If you enjoy monsters, be sure to check it out.

BA_Harrison A team of intrepid archaeologists and documentary film makers become lost in the bowels of a mysterious 3-sided pyramid, where they find themselves faced with deadly pitfalls, menaced by flesh-eating sphinx cats and hunted by the jackal-headed Egyptian god Anubis, who tears out his victims' hearts.Many a found-footage horror film should carry a warning: Caution! May cause nausea and drowsiness. The Pyramid, however, is one of those rare instances where the hand-held camera style is not too intrusive and the horror aspect is gripping enough to prevent the viewer from nodding off.Admittedly, the script isn't all that original, borrowing heavily from hits such as The Descent (a claustrophobic subterranean location is home to deadly creatures), The Blair Witch Project (characters become lost and are attacked by a legendary being) and even Raiders of the Lost Ark (an Egyptian temple is laden with labyrinthine passageways and booby traps), but first-time director Grégory Levasseur injects enough suspense, effective scares, intriguing mythology and gory thrills into proceedings to make this a fun ride despite the over familiarity of the material and the rather ropey looking CGI Anubis.6/10. Many IMDb reviewers have been rather harsh about this film. I, on the other hand, may have been a touch too generous with my appraisal (I'm a sucker for 'lost temple' adventures). The truth is there are a lot worse films you could be wasting your time with.

oceeprime You know, it's truly a shame when a legendary film is poorly copied by a hack. As we all know, Alien is the godfather of haunted house horror stories. There's no equal to that film. Ridley Scott crafted a tale of terror that many have attempted to duplicate, but none have been ever able to succeed. Sure, there are a couple of decent off-shoots: The Thing and Predator. Even The Cave(2005) wasn't that bad. But, the one thing that links the three aforementioned films is great writing. There is none of that here. This is nothing more than trash. I honestly don't know how this film was green-lit for the cinema. This film has the Sci-Fi channel written all over it. As a previous reviewer wrote, this film has bad acting, bad writing, bad lighting(in a few scenes), and making it a very pointless film. So, to all who are interested in seeing this film, don't waste your time.
