Pyramide

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
