Vastly Underrated.

This movie is just what you expect. A Blair Witch Project/ Tomb Raider crossover. And does that sound good on paper? No, but it actually ends up being pretty good. If you like Horror/ Action Films (and enjoy found footage) then this movie delivers.

An Admirable Horror

As Above, So Below is a tense and claustrophobic found-footage horror film that effectively utilizes its haunting underground setting. Set in the Paris Catacombs, the film follows a group of explorers searching for the Philosopher's Stone, only to find themselves trapped in a psychological and supernatural nightmare.

Director John Erick Dowdle crafts an immersive and eerie experience, blending mythology, alchemy, and psychological horror in a way that sets this film apart from standard found-footage fare. The catacombs provide a naturally unsettling backdrop, and the film's sense of disorientation and paranoia builds steadily. While some moments fall into familiar horror tropes and the shaky camerawork can be disorienting, the film succeeds in creating a genuinely unsettling atmosphere.

With its unique setting and creative approach to horror, As Above, So Below is a suspenseful and intriguing ride that delivers more than just jump scares.

Watch it first and then read the trivia section, you won't be disappointed.

I knew very little going into this movie and it did not disappoint. Originally I gave this movie 6/10 but upon hitting up the Trivia section and realising some subtle intricacies I'd missed and just how much detail was in the movie I bumped up to an 8/10.

One of the best finds I've found in a while

Unique, enjoyable, somehow

I wasn't expecting much to be honest, as the whole found footage genre seems to have died a death, but this is surprisingly good. It begins in dramatic fashion, and for the most part doesn't let up, anyone that suffers with claustrophobia or a feeling of being trapped will appreciate the efforts of the film, or not. Some creepy scenes, I liked the part where the phone was ringing, that was atmospheric, as well as the push deeper into the cave. Perdita Weeks was excellent in the role.

This was rather good. 7/10

It's a great movie, especially if you know EXACTLY what's going on...

Absolutely love this movie! It's a breath of fresh air from other found footage horror movies, especially with the whole archeological adventure spin on it. I loved that! It felt like Tomb Raider horror film about hell! Wicked cool! And to understand completely what's going on, you need to read Dante's inferno\ Divine Comedy. It will fill in all the gaps of the film, especially the confusing parts and ending... Awesome film... very scary.

Anecdotes
This was the first ever production that secured permission from the French government to film in the Paris catacombs, both in the public and in the off-limits area. They got permission the night before shooting began. The air and water quality in the catacombs were tested before shooting to make sure the cast and crew would not walk through battery acid. The only entrance to one of the catacombs' main locations was through the parking lot of an hospital. There was very little use of props. The film utilizes a set of narrow, winding tunnels of the Paris catacombs, complete with real mint skeletons creepily arranged centuries ago. There was no electricity, no bathrooms or cell phone service in the tunnels. Sometimes the cast and crew had water up to their waists, and some days they had to crawl around on all fours for an hour. Several scenes were lit up by the actors themselves with their head lamps. Director John Erick Dowdle said that the actors were shooting the film 90% of the time.

Crédits fous
On the last seconds of the end credits, you can hear a character saying "The only way out is down", followed by some of the noises heard on the catacombs earlier in the film.
