(15) Grégory Levasseur, 89 mins. Starring: Ashley Hinshaw, James Buckley, Denis O'Hare

The cliches come thick and fast in Grégory Levasseur’s derivative, increasingly irritating horror, writes Mark Kermode

A team of U.S. archeologists becomes lost and hunted in the labyrinthine catacombs of a buried pyramid.

Who would you choose to take along on a pioneering Egyptian tomb excavation? Chances are, it wouldn’t be a guy who looks like Indiana Jones’s bookish, bad-tempe

It is pretty much the exact same thing as the recent As Above/So Below, lacking only the Parisian setting and the irritating typography.

When a new pyramid is discovered, a team of archeologists venture in on the sly. What could go wrong? The script, for one, writes Chris Michael

A unique three-sided pyramid is the archaeological discovery that triggers some distinctly one-dimensional drama in "The Pyramid," a likably lame-brained Egypto-horror exercise.

Dumped into theaters with little fanfare, "The Pyramid" didn't screen in advance for critics -- not a good sign, especially for a film whose producers include French horror-meister Alexandre Aja (director of "Piranha 3D" and the "The Hills Have Eyes" remake).

Three or four decent scares can't justify the crushing monotony of this horror flick about archaeologists who go barking up the wrong sarcophagus
