Gregory Levasseur, who directed the 2006 remake of The Hills Have Eyes, ventures into bloodthirsty horror territory once more with this subterranean thriller shot in the increasingly popular found footage style.

Throughout history, treasure hunters who have plundered the resting place of the Egyptian pharaohs have suffered grim fates.

Almost 100 years after the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, a team of archaeologists led by Holden (Denis O'Hare) unearths a vast three-sided pyramid buried in the desert.

One of the workers breaks into the structure, unleashing deadly toxic gases, which hint at the booby traps within.

Unable to contain their curiosity, the team including Holden, Nora (Ashley Hinshaw), Fitzie (James Buckley), Sunni (Christa-Marie Nicola) and Luke (Daniel Amerman) descends into the pyramid.

The archaeologists become trapped in a labyrinth of deadly chambers and Holden deciphers heiroglyphics, which suggest that there is a predatory creature inside the pyramid designed to hunt and slay intruders.
