The Pyramid Reviews

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

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 23, 2022

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

Full Review | Original Score: 3/10 | Sep 25, 2019

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

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | May 30, 2019

This could've been an absolutely excellent horror romp if there were better practical effects and not so much reliance on the bad CGI.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 5, 2019

This is a film with many flaws, and any critic can spot that. Despite this, it is still a fun watch. Likely someone who has an interest in ancient history and mythology would enjoy it more than other viewers.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 2, 2018

The growing emphasis on infighting and puzzle-solving only exacerbates the movie's less-than-captivating vibe...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 6, 2016

As far storylines go, this one is as gormless as they come.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 28, 2016

Despite its 'found footage' presentation, this is an amusingly unpretentious genre exercise, more akin to the old-school monster movies, mummy's-curse chillers and gory body-count shockers of decades past than to the shaky-camera thrillers of today.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 5, 2015

There are absolutely no surprises here, but in a tale of this type, that's not necessarily a flaw.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 25, 2015

The Pyramid is nothing but a tiresome, lazy, unoriginal, and downright badly made "found footage" horror film.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | May 11, 2015

Found footage films are the bane of my existence. They reward lazy filmmakers and punish eternally optimistic movie audiences.

Full Review | Original Score: D | May 9, 2015

The Pyramid isn't outright terrible, but it is hopelessly and hilariously confused.

Full Review | May 3, 2015

Sue me, I give it a mild "fresh." Call me a sucker for found footage, Egyptian mythology, overripe dialogue, and mutant cats.

Full Review | Feb 5, 2015

This late-game, tossed-away Fox offering is the very definition of a bargain bin release.

Full Review | Original Score: D- | Jan 8, 2015

Where The Pyramid falls short most spectacularly, in its distinct inability to scare the viewer.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 24, 2014

Feels lazy and dashed off, as if getting it into theaters was more important than actually crafting any suspense or creating believable characters.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 12, 2014

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

Full Review | Dec 10, 2014

Maybe you've seen the trailers, or television ads, which make 'The Pyramid' look a run-of-the-mill horror movie. There is truth in advertising.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 8, 2014

The Pyramid puts ketchup on its hot dog (it's that bad).

Full Review | Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 7, 2014

Ah, found footage: my old nemesis. We meet again.

Full Review | Original Score: D | Dec 7, 2014
