Catacombes

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.

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

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. A cool and different idea for a found footage movie involving a real place that is creepy as hell. Just a good movie that combines multiple elements to scare the audience. Solid flick.

This movie does an outstanding job at doing what others have done time and time again, yet does it in a way that captivates you. It will either have you on the edge of your seat, or off to take a bathroom brake without pausing.

The opening scene of this movie is full of good intent but left me feeling confused. And not in the good way, but more in the way that makes you think that this movie is going to be just as bad as you expected.

The rest of the first half of this movie is extremely basic setup. It does absolutely nothing to innovate, captivate, or even make you care about who, what, when, why, where or how. Meet the characters, make them seem young and hip, and as always, convey that they are way out of their league.

All of this made me want to turn off my TV and call it a day. But i decided to stay and it was well worth my patience.

As soon as the characters enter the tombs, the movie picks right up. Making me feel like i'm stuck down there with them and all of their fears being exploited left me as a paranoid wreck through the rest of the film.

The movie isn't that scary, but more intense than anything.

The ending was well thought out and not cliché. It also left me wanting more movies that are written with this much thought.
