Father-daughter archaeologists Miles (Denis O'Hare) and Nora Holden (Ashley Hinshaw) discover a unique pyramid that has been buried beneath the Egyptian desert for 5,000 years. Accompanied by a newswoman (Christa-Marie Nicola) and her team, the archaeologists enter the tomb and promptly become trapped. Hopelessly lost within the pyramid's labyrinthine structure, the group faces deadly perils that threaten their escape, including collapsing floors and bloodthirsty predators.

Critics Consensus

Poorly lit and thinly writ, The Pyramid houses little more than clunky dialogue, amateurish acting, and dusty found-footage scares.

The real pyramids have been remembered for millennia. This one will be lucky if it lasts a week.

Like so many filmmakers before him, Levasseur doesn't seem to grasp that in the horror genre, less can be more.

Observer (UK)

The Pyramid plods through its conventional generic tropes in increasingly aggravating fashion, any tension dissipating in the face of unscary cats and rubbery monsters.

…The Pyramid provokes merriment when it should be provoking scares…

Avoid at all costs, unless you need a good nap, or a bad history lesson on ancient Egypt.

[The Pyramid] does not bring anything new to the table or to the horror genre in general.

The pyramid is like a watered down as above so below, it's nothing new in horror, which I could excuse if the writing and Dialogue between the characters was better and the characters more Intriguing. The actoring wasn't bad and it's far from the worst horror movie I've ever see, but keep your expectations low. The Most disappointing thing for me is the movie does have potential to be a decent horror movie in the genre that its Putting itself in, but in my experience, you can really feel when people put passion into something and this just wasn't it.

These characters are dumber than rocks. Anubis was the only good part of this movie and the rat cats

It wasn't written particularly well, so the jumpscares were obvious and the escalations felt forced. It was a mediocre docu-horror, but had some interesting moments
