I saw "The Pyramid", starring Denis O'Hare-American Horror Story_tv, Dallas Buyers Club; Ashley Hinshaw-True Blood_tv, Chronicle; Christa Nicola-Lollipop Man, Home and Away_tv and James Buckley-Charlie Countryman, The Inbetweeners Movie.
This is a found footage "B" type horror movie that is a little better than most of them are. Denis plays an archaeologist that makes the discovery of the century, a three sided pyramid in Egypt. Now, as everyone knows, pyramids have always been four sided. The only problem is that Denis just picked the wrong time for his little excavation party because there are violent riots going on in Cairo and Denis and his team are told that they have to leave the country within 24 hours. Ashley, who is Denis' hot looking daughter and also an archeology student, tells her father that they could go in for just a peak, within their 24 hour deadline. Of course, once inside the pyramid, it is not long before they discover that they are not alone and in fact they start getting picked off, one by one by the current residents of the pyramid. The rest of the archaeological team includes Christa, a journalist that is documenting the new discovery and her cameraman, James. There are a few good scares, but there were also a few predictable scenes; one in particular that stands out was when the cameraman tells another character to hold his camera for a minute. Right then, I knew he was about to die. It's rated "R" for violence, bloody images and sexual content-including partial nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 29 minutes. If you like "B" type horror movies, you might enjoy this one. I would buy it on DVD.
