Like so many filmmakers before him, Levasseur doesn't seem to grasp that in the horror genre, less can be more.
Overview
A team of U.S. archaeologists unearths an ancient pyramid buried deep beneath the Egyptian desert. As they search the pyramid's depths, they become hopelessly lost in its dark and endless catacombs. Searching for a way out, they become desperate to seek daylight again. They come to realize they aren't just trapped, they are being hunted.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
If you're looking for cheap scares and have 90 minutes to kill, you could do worse than The Pyramid. But not a lot worse.
The air inside the pyramid isn't the only thing that's stale in this ludicrous yet mildly likable horror film.
A stinker in every sense.
"The Pyramid," despite an unpretentious matinee vibe, is mostly interesting in seeing how little light can be on screen before a bare minimum of suspense and coherence dissipates. There is, truly, not much to see in this movie.
