Apparently all horror films made after 1999 get a 6 star rating on IMDb so without seeing the film ...its a 6! i apparently need 5 lines of text for them to accept this review so i guess ill just keep talking till i get to 5 lines. the modern horror movie seems only capable of get a....OK that 5 im done

If you're into horror movies, you already know that a modern, moderately unknown horror movie receiving over a 6 on IMDb is a good sign. As usual, with the films I like, I think it deserves better.This movie is different than others in this genre. It's well done and the subject matter is perfect for a horror movie. Oh sure, there's things you can pick apart if you're into dissecting every plot hole or unbelievable character action. But if you just sit back and enjoy the ride, I guarantee you'll find a movie that surpasses many in this genre in sheer plot alone. The acting is good and the movie builds and builds to a satisfying ending.I've re-watched it over three times. Half the horror movies nowadays, I turn off in 10 minutes.8/10

This is surprisingly awesome for a found footage. I hate shaky camera movies with a passion but this one blew my mind for horror. Sorry, TBWP fans. I hate TBWP and never liked it but this one compared to it, blows it out of this world. I went and saw TBWP, and wish I asked for money back.I did not watch this one in the theater but for free with friend owning it. I thought before knowing it was a found footage and was debating to watch it, because of this. I finally jumped in and took the chance and do not regret it but glad I did. This was an awesome movie for a found footage.Like I said that I hate shaky camera, but what I really love was the continuous pace it had. No just boring parts like on TBWP. I like the part where they first realized they were going in circles and going through the same places they already been. That creep me out. I was blow away that they kept seeing things come at them.Another thought when they went in the catacombs was The Descent, that movie I really love too but not much a found footage. George I like and all the movies I saw him in, he did great. So when I saw him in it, knew he would be just as good or better. This is one I would try to get on bluray and watch a lot.

As Above, So Below is a mystery horror from the director of No Escape and Devil.Some found footage films are just a mix of bad tropes, where as some of them break the mould completely. Surprisingly, As Above, So Below is a rare mixed film that has aspects of both of these.Scarlett, an alchemy student, is on a quest to find Nicolas Flamel's Philosopher's Stone. Information she has found indicates that it is buried within the Paris Catacombs, and her and her small group must head underground to find it.The characters in this film are a mix of strong and weak. At some parts of the film, they can be strong, at others, they're just pathetically weak. The characters just aren't relatable at all and they're annoying at most points during the film. Scarlett was determined, but in deadly proportions and honestly, everyone in this film should have died with her lead.As Above, So Below is different. It was original in some tones – the Paris catacombs, the plot line of the film and the characters themselves, but also, it was just boring. It was a good mix of excitement and pure boredom. The creators of this film did well in creating atmosphere, but were just as good at creating boredom. Tenseness changed to 'did they really do this that was horrendous' and racing hearts give way to 'was that it'.Original, but also not so original, exciting, but also not so exciting, this is not a recommendation from me.
