In the tradition of horror movie greats such as Hellraiser, Black Sabbath and Suspiria comes THE PYRAMID, a terrifying anthology of four episodes connected by an infernal object: a bizarre pyramid that comes into the world to spread madness, death and destruction. Through the centuries the pyramid has been the focus of terrible happenings… now it has returned and opens the door to a series of terrible and unstoppable events which leads the human race to the verge of extinction. Solid objects coming to life, demonic possessions, monstrous creatures, the living dead, mysterious portals, and catastrophic events: that's what you'll find in THE PYRAMID. THE PYRAMID is an ambitious project born from the collaboration of five young independent Italian directors - Alex Visani, Antonio Zannone, Luca Alessandro and the duo of Roberto Albanesi & Simone Chiesa - as an acknowledgment of the strength and passion of the independent Italian horror film scene. Filmed in diverse locations throughout Italy, THE PYRAMID is both a new modern masterpiece and a tribute to the classic horror films of the past. Presented in 1.78 anamorphic widescreen, in Italian with English subtitles, Dolby Digital 2.0 surround sound.

but honestly that's not a bad thing. Decent stuff
Yes, it's derivative of Hellraiser, but honestly that's not a bad thing. Decent stuff, but the anthology format doesn't work too well when you have two different actresses playing the same character in the film.

Painfully slow. Rips off Hellraiser a LOT. Could not finish.
This is a painfully slow movie. I finally gave up watching after I was half an hour in and realized I couldn't care less about resolving the plot. I had no connection to the characters and no investment in the antagonist. This movie steals a bunch of ideas from the Hellraiser franchise, but then doesn't seem to know what to do with them, so it just arranges them carefully in a row and hopes something will happen. The gore and body horror are tiresome, not very convincing, and don't really seem to go anywhere, and the malevolent force seems rather dull. Oooo, a pale asexual humanoid with white-out contacts...sooooo intriguing *eyeroll*.Honestly, I feel a bit bad for the makers of this movie - it feels like someone's personal project,and I wish it had turned out better, but here we are. If I were you, I'd give this one a miss.One more thing - though I couldn't care enough to sit through this in real-time, I did skim along the timeline to look at all the little thumbnails that popped up...based on the tiny pictures I saw, I would not hold out hope for a satisfactory ending.

Buyer beware !
I had never seen this movie prior to purchasing it but bought it based on the movie clips that accompanied it which looked great.The problem was it was a totally different movie of the same name so buyer beware.Instead of an American movie as shown in the movie clips that accompany the ad for the movie you get an Italian low budget horror movie with captions in English.The one positive is Amazon was great to work with when I explained the problem and promptly refunded my purchase.

'80 horror style
Low budget shocker from Italy in the vein of hellraiser and Bava's Demons. Good acting and good gory effects, the plot is simple but quite entertaining. 4 stars out of 5

but i do like a 'd' level horror film especially a collaboration like ...
Hold everything. Why is the trailer different than what i bought. please remove the trailer!. Now I wish i could have found the found footage trailer movie ...but i do like a 'd' level horror film especially a collaboration like trick or treat, etc. This was a three star for the movie it presented. the one star is for being misled. the description is accurate as i read it now in italian with subtitles, stories wrapped into one theme, low budget..it was pretty ok. Now to try to find the movie i wanted to watch. think this movie is overpriced it would be worth a watch or two but not for over 5 bucks and 3 shipping. anymore eh.

trash bucket
piece of crap not worth the dvd it is printed on. You could use the dvd added to a few more for a nice wind chime maybe, at least it will sparkle in the sunlight.I got this movie by accident thinking I had ordered The Pyramid which is about some student archeologist that get trapped inside. Oh well I just threw the movie in the trash. I could not begin to rate this its below a D movie. I think a 5th grader could have wrote and directed a better scrip.

Non ci siamo.
Il classico prodotto nostrano realizzato con mezzi non all'altezza delle ambizioni,nella convinzione da parte dei registi(e di un certo tipo di pubblico) che questo basti come giustificazione per tutta una serie di difetti tipici di buona parte della filmografia horror italiana degli ultimi 15-20 anni.Le uniche cose che ho trovato degne di nota sono l'intro con i titoli di testa in 3-D e la confezione abbastanza professionale.Sostanzialmente ci sono solo due vicende che si riciclano malamente nelle 4 storie,(ogniuna riprende più o meno da dove s'interrompe la precedente):l'acquisizione della piramide da parte di una persona con conseguente pazzia e morte per le prime 2,e il dilagare della possessione per le altre.La recitazione oscilla dal buono all'inadeguato(il proprietario della piramide ha una faccia da barzelletta),vista la brevità di ogni storia i personaggi sono inconsistenti,e praticamente non c'è modo di capire perchè succede quello che succede.Nelle intenzioni dei registi,suppongo significasse creare atmosfera,basandosi sulla cupezza dell'inspiegato.Ma se non si hanno i mezzi e soprattutto le capacità necessarie,si ottiene solo confusione.Le musiche non trasmettono la tensione che vorrebbero,e il sangue scarseggia.Cosa che invece avrebbe dovuto abbondare,almeno per creare intrattenimento.Le varie citazioni(da Barker a Raimi a Carpenter a "28 giorni dopo")sono superflue e a tratti anche goffe.In definitiva,un film che cerca di essere serio e professionale ma non ci riesce,perchè inadeguato nella realizzazione e soprattutto nei risultati.Chi è disposto ad essere indulgente nei confronti dei prodotti low-budget underground potrà apprezzare sicuramente.Agli altri,sconsiglio decisamente l'acquisto.

The Pyramid (Blu-Ray)
Nel complesso...mah...non saprei neanche come giudicarlo. Traccia video discreta, tracia audio italiana migliorabile. L'ho acquistato per curiosità, ma...a pensarci bene...13,50 €uri che si sarebbero potuti risparmiare.
