An archaeological team attempts to unlock the secrets of a lost pyramid only to find themselves hunted by an insidious creature.
he Pyramid delivers a similar experience to recent found-footage horror As Above, So Below, only this time with an ancient Egyptian spin.
"We need to find an exit right now," someone shouts early on. Audiences may well find themselves sharing the sentiment.
The cod Egyptology is irritating, the CGI-and-rubber monsters are silly, and the creeping onset of what you assume is Undead Mummy Virus is simply abandoned, as if the producers ran out of money after 89 minutes.
Screenwriter-turned-director Grégory Levasseur serves up disappointingly scant shocks in this derivative tale of archaeologists trapped in an underground pyramid in conflict-torn Egypt.
