Critics Consensus

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

William Goss Austin Chronicle The real pyramids have been remembered for millennia. This one will be lucky if it lasts a week. Dec 10, 2014 Full Review Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times Like so many filmmakers before him, Levasseur doesn't seem to grasp that in the horror genre, less can be more. Dec 7, 2014 Full Review Mark Kermode 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. Rated: 1/5 Dec 7, 2014 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …The Pyramid provokes merriment when it should be provoking scares… Rated: 1/5 Aug 23, 2022 Full Review Joey Keogh Wicked Horror Avoid at all costs, unless you need a good nap, or a bad history lesson on ancient Egypt. Rated: 3/10 Sep 25, 2019 Full Review Shannon McGrew Nightmarish Conjurings [The Pyramid] does not bring anything new to the table or to the horror genre in general. Rated: 2/5 May 30, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Adriana O Filme mais ou menos Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review Ashley V 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Gaming U These characters are dumber than rocks. Anubis was the only good part of this movie and the rat cats Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/24 Full Review Kyleigh K Toxicity report 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review derrick h Absolutely the dumbest movie in history Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Alexander P 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 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
