Name : Gene Siskel / Alias : Chicago Tribune
Simply marvelous entertainment.

Name : Richard Schickel / Alias : TIME Magazine
Freeman, who is simply a great actor, a man who has never struck a false note in his career, both narrates this tale and anchors it with his authoritative playing.

Name : Jonathan Rosenbaum / Alias : Chicago Reader
A passing reference to 'The Count of Monte Cristo' offers a partial clue to what makes this movie compelling.

Name : Leonard Klady / Alias : Variety
A testament to the human spirit.

Name : Derek Adams / Alias : Time Out
.a throwback to the kind of serious, literate drama Hollywood used to make.

Name : Chris Nashawaty / Alias : Entertainment Weekly
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.

Name : Guy Lodge / Alias : Variety
Levasseur plants and executes the pic's exclamation-point scares with grinning, squelching gusto. It matters little that most of the jolts have been lifted from previous movies .

Name : Jordan Hoffman / Alias : New York Daily News
It's hard to know what's worse, the under-lit "found footage" from the documentary team or the wretched dialogue.

Name : Leslie Felperin / Alias : Hollywood Reporter
A stinker in every sense.

Name : Michael O'Sullivan / Alias : Washington Post
The air inside the pyramid isn't the only thing that's stale in this ludicrous yet mildly likable horror film.

Name : Ben Kenigsberg / Alias : New York Times
"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.

Name : Jesse Hassenger / Alias : AV Club
These B-movie touches aren't especially scary, and the characters are too paralyzed with fear to have much fun with the silliness.

Name : Tom Huddleston / Alias : Time Out
This enjoyable-despite-itself horror flick has precisely nothing new to offer - with the arguable exception of a monster in a miniskirt, which may be a first.

Name : Martin Tsai / Alias : Los Angeles Times
Like so many filmmakers before him, Levasseur doesn't seem to grasp that in the horror genre, less can be more.

Name : Alonso Duralde / Alias : TheWrap
Some things were never meant to be uncovered. Some movies, too.

Name : Jesse Hassenger / Alias : AV Club
Most of the time, the banter doesn't sound like banter; the movie shares Sasha and Paige's unforced shorthand.

Name : Ronnie Scheib / Alias : Variety
A well-scripted, intriguingly-acted effort to mine the theme of prolonged adolescent best-buddyism through two women.

Name : Sara Stewart / Alias : New York Post
Fogel's focus is female friendship, and the challenges presented by growing older and pairing up. It all makes for a rocky road, regardless of the romantic rival's gender.

Name : Amy Nicholson / Alias : L.A. Weekly
Fogel refuses to pander by pretending that the girls can fix everything with a hug. Sacrifices must be made.

Name : David Ehrlich / Alias : Time Out New York
Limited by the same arch tone and flippant jokes that suffocate every other low-budget indie about Gen Y confronting adulthood.

Name : Claudia Puig / Alias : USA Today
The charming story about millennial confusion is deftly written by Susanna Fogel (who also directs) and Joni Lefkowitz, and the dialog actually sounds like the way a pair of smart and funny twentysomethings might really talk.

Name : Inkoo Kang / Alias : TheWrap
"A waxen falseness suffuses the stilted, stubbornly generic picture. Like the fast-food mozzarella sticks one of the characters devours in moments of existential woe, it feels like a calculated imitation rather than the real thing."

Name : Katie Walsh / Alias : Los Angeles Times
Meester and Jacobs have an easy, authentic chemistry, but there isn't enough structure or storytelling thrust to sustain interest in the plot: Triumphs, calamities and reunions keep happening, but none contains real dramatic heft.

Name : Frank Scheck / Alias : Hollywood Reporter
The two stars display a winning chemistry in this amusingly observant study of female friendship.
