The Pyramid (2014)

Its like the producers saw what they Director had done, and decided to cut their losses...One of the plot devices they use to propel the story is the fact their is political upheaval going on in the same area as this discovery, which shortens the window for our explorers. The show this by showing a typical MiddleEast/Egyptian town from above. They then added about 4 black wisps of acrid CGI smoke in random spots as evidence of that political upheaval. The problem is it is some of the worst smoke CGI you will ever see, and it only gets worse at the end when Ra or whomever the Egyptian God, is revealed. If you thought that black smoke CGI looked fake, wait till you get a load of Ra.I was hoping from the pantie peek at the beginning wed see more of Hinshaw, and maybe her UK actor bf for the ladies, but this movie is neither fun nor sexy and wastes the young nubile actors. It shrouds them in darkness, with Hinshaw unattractively whining throughout the movie like a spoiled brat.In the end, you dont even care they all get their come-uppance, as lazy writing and odd camera work that is one moment found footage, and the next an angle on a cameraman would take that shot from....just a mess of a movie and I think the producers knew it before the movie was even finished

I don't know if in proper English RIDICULOUS is liable to increment but in this case I d like to say MOST RIDICULOUS. Undoubtedly the 6.5 Million budget was just travelling expenses and tickets to the Pyramid, and the movie-making as such, but not much in wages for the actors. Darn, I have seen quite decent movies done with completely unknown actors, but this is not one of them. The keyword is CHEAP. A High School class could do a better job as graduation project. I guess Class C is the proper denomination.

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.

I've been wanting to see this for a long time and finally got around to it. It's about what I expected, and that's good. The 'creatures' were a little disappointing at first, but I like how they handled the main monster by adding in Egyptian history and culture. The film is mostly 'found footage' style. A group of archaeologists discovers a vast pyramid buried deep under the desert. They want to go in and explore, but given strict instructions not to. Ignoring this, they go inside and can't find their way out. It's full of dead ends, labyrinths and creatures. If you want a fun cheesy B horror movie with Egyptian culture, you'll love THE PYRAMID!!!
