Movie Review - THE PYRAMID (2014)

Have you seen THE DESCENT? How about CATACOMBS? Maybe you've seen BURIED? If you have seen any of these movies then you have seen THE PYRAMID. This movie is about another set of archeologists who stupidly uncover something and forget all safety protocols when they are told to leave. Not only was it predictable, but it was boring and I never really cared what happened to the characters.

This horror film was as predictable as they come. Not only was there a camera crew who shouldn't have been there, but there was a character who kept saying they should not go into the pyramid, a character who kept saying it would be criminal not to go into the pyramid and take a chance at seeing what was in there before everything was lost, but there was also a character who forces everyone's hand and creates a situation where at least someone must go into the pyramid.

The film crew seemed to be around just to be the whiny characters who get to keep saying, "We need to get out of here, we shouldn't be in here." Of course, one of them reaches the end of the film, while the other dies a horrible and painful death near the beginning of the action. The first person to die is of course a love interest who everyone tries to save, and things just go from there.

The characters continue to make horrible decisions, and while watching even I had to question what they were doing. Not only are they not observant, but they keep missing clues around them that there might be danger. While I can suspend belief and watch horror movies that don't always make sense, this one tried too hard to suspend belief. The characters tramp through the pyramid not caring that they are breathing in toxic air, not caring that there are weird skeletal animals eating everything available (I mean what have they been feasting on all this time?), but they also don't care about the fact that they are trying to find a way out with a virus or bacteria running their systems that may, or may not, be contagious.

I almost stopped watching this movie less than halfway through because the idea was unoriginal. This is an idea that has been done and done to death. Now if the end hadn't been so predictable, or the order in which the characters died, it may have been more interesting, but THE DESCENT already did this and it was superior to this movie in every way.

So, do I recommend this movie, of course not. If you want a good movie watch THE DESCENT.
