I watched this movie despite its bad reviews because I liked the fact that it is a horror movie in a pyramid and I also quite like movies that have to do with Egyptian history. So after having watched it, I have to say that the one and a half hour I spend doing that was worth it. The pyramid might not be a masterpiece but it is definitely a horror movie worth watching.

Firstly, I have to say that the settings were well made as well as the monsters. The actors did a good job too. I can't say that they were amazing but their acting seemed quite natural and they were well directed. Another fact I liked about this movie is that it was decently scary(enough to scare the average watcher) and intense. I quite enjoyed most killing scenes too. In that aspect I think it was better than most horror movies I've seen lately . It could have been more intense though.

Coming to the bad points now, as you can probably can guess already the plot is not something new or groundbreaking. You won't see something entirely new here. The only thing that's somewhat "new" is that the killings happen in a pyramid. In addition, the movie is not evenly good for its entirety. It starts well, shows promise and is pretty good for a big part but the last part of the movie ruins that feeling. Some scenes of the last part of the movie are not that well-though. Add to that the fact that they probably overdid it a bit with the selection of the "monster" and you can understand why it has bad critics. They involved Egyptian mythology a bit too much I guess but I won't spoil further.

To sum it up, The pyramid is a horror movie worth watching despite its flaws. They did a good job for a low budget movie like this and an average horror movie fan will surely have a nice time watching it.

I won't give any spoilers so I will make this simple and spot on. The movie has very good promise and tons of jump scares. That's why I gave it a 6. Plain and simple negative though. the ending is dumb with horrible graphics. Not sure if they ran out of brains and money but wow. Shocking how a movie that was on it's way to an 8 went and dropped 3 stars in the final 15 minutes of the movie. Totally worth watching though. It will cause claustrophobia and anxiety and make you jump several times before you get to the dumb ending. Shame on the directors for ruining a great movie that people would be talking about for years. What were the two writers thinking. Kudos to you for keeping me and my 20 year old daughter entertained. Thanks for reading my review!

I was looking forward to this movie, despite it's IMDb score.

I loved the mood & setting, loved the creatures, loved the historical twist. But I'm just sick and tired of the forced character roles, where men are portrayed as dumb cowards or brutes, and women as brave and strong.

It would have been easy enough to balance the roles out, and create a more interesting dynamic. As it stood, the characters were just irritating, and stood in the way of enjoying the movie.

Too bad, because the rest of the movie was pretty good. Especially the sets, props, and creature designs. I just couldn't enjoy it because of the roles the cast had to play. Very disappointing.

Sure, this movie isn't a masterpiece but it's very entertaining! I really enjoyed it. Why so much negative reviews? If you're a fan of "As Above, So Below" or even "The Descent" then you'll enjoy this too! Gives you the same vibe where people get trapped underground. Very claustrophobic and intense. A solid 7/10. I'm proud to say, as a horror movie collector. I'm glad I have this in my collection!

The two writers apparently decided that there was no point in researching Egyptology before embarking on the writing of a script featuring archaeologists in an Egyptian pyramid. One of the characters claims that Bast (cat-headded goddess) would be «the guardian of the underworld» when in reality she is the protector of pregnant women. A nonsense among many others in this rather funny slasher.

These types of archaeological excavations unleashing an ancient evil tend to be poor in production and equally so in entertainment value. However, this 2014 movie turned out to be a rather nice surprise.

While the storyline offers nothing new to the genre, then it was still entertaining to sit through this movie. Yes, the story was every bit as predictable as you would imagine. But the sense of claustrophobia and an unseen lurking horror was what saved the movie.

Acting-wise then you know what you will get in "The Pyramid", as this is, and we all know it, not award winning movie material. But still, the cast did good jobs with their roles and characters.

The creatures in the movie were one of the highlights throughout the movie. I especially liked the felines, as they just looked very interesting. As for Anubis himself, well he wasn't too shabby. Just a bit hard to buy into that it took so little to outsmart him. One thing I didn't get was how these being would still be alive and kicking after so many hundred of years. Undead? Immortal? The movie offers no explanation.

I liked the part with the wounds becoming quickly infected and starting to physically show that so rapidly. That was an interesting touch to the movie.

All in all, "The Pyramid" deserves a solid six out of ten stars rating as I was genuinely entertained and surprised at how it actually was a good movie. Just goes to prove that you can't judge a movie by its cover.

Indiana Jones on a horror level this is a gem to watch if you are into horror movies that make you jump and your heart beating out of your chest this is your kind of movie. It reminds you of The Mummy and Indiana Jones but on a intense horror adventure overall a good and fun movie.

As far as horror movies go, I definitely enjoyed this one. It was quite gory, so fair warning to those who don't like that. The movie was scary and had a good story. It's not top shelf horror, but i've seen way worse horror movies than this.

The thing with "the Pyramid" is that it has great presentation. The poster looks good, the trailer looks good too. It's enough to fool most people into watching it, expecting a film with some good scares. I, for one, went in expecting some claustrophobic terror like "the Descent".

Unfortunately, the Pyramid is not good, not good at all. In fact, it's just boring. The characters all suffer from being utterly unlikeable, from the annoying cameraman to the just as annoying blonde girl. From there the film turns into a boring drag, wherein every trick in the book is pulled: jump scares, cheap CGI, lots and lots of yelling and screaming, exposition that makes no sense. You name it.

This movie is awful. Don't watch it.

The Pyramid is a refreshing take for horror movies because there hasn't been any "mummy horror-movie" since the late 50s, however, the movie was painful to watch. Why is it? No character development that resulted to viewers not caring about the characters since all the characters suffer from making idiotic and bad decisions that obviously resulted to their death! Even the trailer gives away too much because if you've seen the trailer, you've already seen the whole movie.

The CGI was horrible though it was forgivable, but to be honest, the movie could've really been better because it had an interesting premise. But even though I'm a fan of FOUND-FOOTAGE HORROR MOVIES, I was really disappointed because I thought that I was gonna like it since it felt like "As Above, So Below" which I really loved.

FINAL VERDICT: Not worth your time. 3/10. Better watch "As Above, So Below"

The story is just another one of those lost cause adventures. But the horror setting makes it feel very devoid of any character development. All the initial story buildup doesn't even adequately put the relationships between the characters in place.All the characters seem to be doing separate acting for each scenes that the scenes don't really feel continuous, and also the mediocre editing and directing adds up to this too. The story take the sharp turn from being scientific to mythic in a very sudden move for me. The jump-scares were successful in giving shocks at me, but it didn't stir any fear in me, like what a good horror should do. The acting overall is pretty lame. Ashley Hinshaw, Dennis O'Hare and James Buckley should really take more acting lessons, especially in acting for a horror thriller. Their expressions don't really show that they were terrified, so how should we the audience feel afraid?

In times of turbulence and confusion in Egypt, an American team of archaeologists is digging a three-side pyramid in the desert. The engineer Zahir (Amir K) sends his robot to explore the interior while the archaeologists Nora (Ashley Hinshaw) and her father Holden (Denis O'Hare); the video producer Sunni (Christa Nicola); and the cameraman Fitzie (James Buckley) record and analyze the image. However they have to leave the site due to the political instability but out of blue, the expensive robot vanishes inside the pyramid. Amir K convinces Corporal Shadid (Faycal Attougui) to give two hours for them to seek out the robot. When they are in the interior, the floor collapses and they fall 30 m down. Soon they learn that the place is a maze full of traps and a creature is hunting them down. Will they succeed to escape?

"The Pyramid" is a disappointing horror movie. The story is silly and unoriginal and does not hold the attention of the viewer. The performances are not convincing but acceptable, but the plot fails since the characters are not well developed and non-likable. The lighting and camera are very poor. The special effects are reasonable for a low- budget movie. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "A Pirâmide" ("The Pyramid")

Ok, having run a film school I can tell you that the TWO most important things about a film are the script and the casting. Get those right and you are 3/4 of the way there to having a chance of making a good film. The story is very Light but it's not terrible. No, where this film lets itself down is the casting. One Of the main characters is Jay from UK version of the Inbetweeners and that is not a good start. Imagine that character without the humour and you have a guy with an annoying Whiney accent who can just about act but doesn't have the one liners to rely on. He's a guy you can take in short doses. The other players are so characterless you couldn't care two stuffs about them, in fact the reporter is SO annoying you can't wait for the Pyramid to get her. The father is as bland as anyone could be and the light script doesn't do anything to build them up either. Where this movie is saved is in the production design and the filming. It's never too dark which is often a mistake of films like this and there's just enough good set design to make it believable. CGI isn't terrible either for a sub billion dollar movie. So with a bit more character building, better more engaging actors and a slightly better story this could have been a cult hit. They should have included more characters, at least 2 soldiers, some weapons and 5 archaeologists instead of the paultry 3 to chew on. Some more Egyptology and crazy artefacts, traps and puzzles wouldn't have gone amiss either. It's all just too...... mehhhhh.

What a waste of my time. This is one of the most unrealistic films (and I say this because of the human characters). I hate the Nora's character from the beginning. Yelled a lot. Stupidly stubborn. The father was spineless. The best character was the camera guy.

SPOILER ALERT: DO NOT CONTINUE READING IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE END.

This is the most stupid movie. A skinny archaeologist who does not seem to do any physical activity as part of her life beats the strong half jackal, half human Anubis and escapes from the inside of the pyramid. She just is convinced that everything she says is true. Her short scene talking with her mom in her computer shows what a bad actress she is.

A group of archaeologists & film makers enter a recently discovered three-sided pyramid, buried in the Egyptian desert, in order to retrieve a $3m robot when they lose communication with it. They find themselves lost & in a deadly fight for survival. James Buckley (The Inbetweeners) provides some light comic relief but overall this found footage style movie is pretty tense, claustrophobic & does have a view effectively horrific moments. It certainly could have been better but personally I found it to be reasonably good.

Our imdb rating is pretty low, here and, indeed, it's not a great flick. But it's not without being entertaining. It's better than many other of the genre. The acting is not fabulous, but the pace is nice, the setting is far from bad and the editing is very professional.

With this one it's simple, if you are in the mood for what the summary suggest, you won't be disappointed. If you aren't, well, of course, just don't watch it. As far as I'm concerned, the 90 minutes or so went fast and I did have fun.

Btw, if you know Egyptology, what is presented in the film is relatively accurate. It doesn't go deep at all, but there aren't any huge mistake or wild invention.
