The Pyramid

Directed by Grégory Levasseur1h 29m2014

An archaeological team attempt to unlock the secrets of a lost pyramid only to find themselves hunted by an insidious creature.

Our read: The Pyramid (2014) reads as a heavy, breathless, inventive horror · monster entry — extreme in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
