Cheap and just plain bad. I'm better used by the director and can only shake my head for so much trash crap.

Before watching this movie, I set my expectations at non-existent for The Pyramid, a movie that has been claimed as one of the worst movies of the 2014 by some critics, and I can confirm that that statement is true. This film is a compilationBefore watching this movie, I set my expectations at non-existent for The Pyramid, a movie that has been claimed as one of the worst movies of the 2014 by some critics, and I can confirm that that statement is true. This film is a compilation of everything that could go wrong in a horror movie while still trying to convince the audience that it's not a parody. The Pyramid could almost be an experiment to see how many cliches they could put into a film, and that reason alone makes this movie an enjoyable exercise in bad taste. For starters, it has the exact same plot as The Tunnel, a vastly superior and terrifying Aussie found footage flick. In that movie, a documentary crew explores the abandoned Sydney train tunnels as they investigate a government cover-up until they become lost and realize something else is lurking in the tunnels. The only difference between The Tunnel and The Pyramid is the fact that it takes place in a pyramid in Egypt. This movie is also half-found footage and half-traditional. What I mean by this is: you'll see an entire scene from the point of view of their cameras, and then in the next scene, we see a scene shot like a normal movie. It's like this movie tried to shoehorn in some found footage just to include another overused horror trope. Along with the inconsistent cinematography, you'll find one of the most annoying groups of people you could ever encounter in a film. The "protagonist", if I can ever call her that, looks like she's fresh off the set of Real Housewives while another character screams "We need to find a way out!" in between every single line of dialogue. I don't think I even need to mention that the "villain" could get the award for Worst Movie Monster. It's almost amazing and certainly entertaining seeing how many things can go wrong with this movie. Just sit back, have some friends over, and laugh at this trashy, ironically entertaining atrocity. The Pyramid is ultimately a misguided and fun monstrosity of a horror film.… Expand

I was sadly disappointed. The idea has/had potential: discover a new pyramid, go inside to explore and meet an Egyptian god or alien and interact. With a decent script (this script was absolutely rubbish----PAINFUL to sit through), the movie could potentially have been palatable. As it was, the movie was just a series of gore and fright filled scenes with no intelligence or creativity or reasonable dialog whatsoever. This may be the worst movie I have ever seen.… Expand

Well this flick gets my worse film of the year award. I walked out about 30 minutes into it. Makes me wonder why a producer would put up money on this disaster. Save your money & choose another one.

Dose anybody even remember this movie or is it just me, it's probably just me as nobody has brought up this movie after it's release and for very good reasons.

The story is about a U.S. archaeologists uncover a pyramid buried deep beneath the Egyptian desert. But as they explore deeper and deeper into the tomb, they become hopelessly lost in its dark catacombs and passages. Anxious for daylight, they try to escape - but they are not alone.

6% on RT, 24% on Metacritic, 5.1 on IMDB and the movie also flopped big time at the box office, yep this isn't going to be sit and watch and man I wasn't wrong because The Pyramid has to be the most painful horror movies to date.

Now is the movie scary? no actually the movie is rather dull and extremely boring. I think the reason the movie didn't build up to anything scary is because the writing felt lazy and the movies atmosphere was creepy or under the skin chilling, it was just flat out there and it wasn't effective enough to be scary. If you want a better horror movie with chilling atmosphere and a real build up then watch The Badadook, at least that movie got it right than this garbage film.

The directing, the acting, the way the movie is shot is all awful just awful. I couldn't find a single good thing in this movie, it was plan bad.… Expand

has to be the ABSOLUTE WORST so far. Everything is clichéd as hell and
the writing is insanely bad. There was NOTHING scary in this movie even
though it was meant to be a 'horror'. This film feels like its inspired
by 'As Above So Below' except its 100x worse and more tedious.

Pyramids are some of the most famous tropes when it comes to horror
stories. Seriously how bad of a writer/director do you have to be to
screw this up? Honestly the 1999 mummy was 100x better. The acting is
almost as bad as porn acting. This is the first horror movie i've seen
where I have ABSOLUTELY no sympathy for any of the characters and I
just want them to all die. ONLY watch if you're with friends and want a
good laugh.… Expand
