REEL DEAL: Ancient Curse Jackal-Headed Anubis Unleashed In Slasher Film “THE PYRAMID”

The highly kinetic non-stop horror movie “The Pyramid” awakens ancient Egyptian curse when a group of U.S. archaeologists gets more than what they’ve bargained for when they discovered a three-sided pyramid in the desert. For the last 90 years, no other tombs were disturbed until now...

Directed by Gregory Levasseur and produced by Alexandre Aja, both of whom whose works are widely known in the slasher genre are the minds behind the films that had audience at the edge of their seats such as “High Tension,” The Hills Have Eyes” and “Piranha 3D.” Aja, since his directorial debut at the age of 18 eventually became a member of the so-called “Splat Pack,” a term coined for a new wave of directors who have revolutionized the horror genre, including Rob Zombie, Zack Snyder and Eli Roth

In "The Pyramid," 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.

Produced by Alexandre Aja and directed by Gregory Levasseur (known for their thrilling works in "The Hills Have Eyes," "P2," "Mirrors") "The Pyramid" is a horrifying, hair-raising tale of explorers cursed who dared to enter the ancient wonder.  The movie stars Ashley Hinshaw, Denis O'Hare and James Buckley. 

The film follows a cast of characters who enter a newfound pyramid in the Egyptian desert. However, as they begin exploring the labyrinthine structure, they quickly realize that what they are actually standing in is a sort of prison – and what that prison is keeping trapped inside is something more nightmarish than any of the explorers could’ve imagined.
