The Pyramid Reviews

I've been on the look out for this one. I love a good horror movie and I'm actually quite fond of found footage despite popular opinion. This is directed by the writer of a few movies I really enjoyed including High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes remake, and Mirrors who were all directed by the same guy (Alexandre Aja). The cast also has a handful of quite familiar faces which is good, but it does take away the affect of found footage a bit. It's interesting to see that there are a few instances where the filming is normal even though this is categorized as found footage. There were some pretty good death scenes as well as ones I didn't see coming the way they did. The CGI was a bit amateur in some spots, but some of it was actually quite good. It's as if they felt more inclined to work more on some areas than others. The ending was great and not even how I expected it to go.

Pros:
-An interesting look at the horror of something actually scary
-It isn't completely found footage, but it is for the most part
-The acting is quite good
-The mythology was a nice route change as opposed to always seeing Mummies in Egypt
-There were some good brutal and somewhat unexpected deaths

Cons:
-The CGI was a little back and forth

Anyways this was really entertaining and one reason I never listen to what others think on movies. I mean everyone thinks about things differently especially in the world of cinema. If you are looking for something that strives to be different I think this is a good one to checkout.
