Ok, I really enjoyed this movie even though some parts, like underdeveloped characters, can be improved. I mean, this movie actually had some deep meaning to it. It consists of believed representations of the different layers of hell which was really interesting because that's something you don't normally see (and any other movie that I have seen hasn't pulled it off like this one). This movie really gets you thinking about life and what might come after. And for that, I think it's pretty great.

The found footage aspect makes it all the more realistic and appealing, which really draws you into the movie more. I stumbled across this movie randomly, as I was searching for another fixation to my supernatural/horror movie addiction and was more than pleasantly surprised. Some of my other favorites include Oculus, The Exorcist, and the Insidious series. Movies that focus on the supernatural that also present an intense psychological twist. As Above So Below really personifies the supernatural element while also bringing a historical aspect to it, making it all the more real. Overall I highly recommend and wish they would make a sequel or more movies like this.
... View MoreI believe this was one of the last, amazing, true horror movies to come out in a long time to come. I was amazed. If you have ever read anything about Nicolas Flamel, Alchemy, The Devine Comedy of Dante's Inferno or any history book about the Egyptian times and the birth of the identification of planets-you are SERIOUSLY in for a treat. This movie was drop-dead AMAZINGLY accurate and the more the director took it as far as he did the more I was terrified. Think about it; You're watching a horror movie and all of the facts in the movie are true and from real recorded WORLD history. Just about every single turn of events was at a pivotal moment with a real, historically accurate twist. Amazing acting, amazing direction-NOT a "found footage" movie because the footage was never lost in the first place and I seriously can never get enough. Definitely one of those movies you have to watch something happy after because you have to try to go to bed and actually sleep. I always recommend this movie and always will. THANK YOU for making a movie worth comparing all other horror movies to for the rest of my entire existence. THIS is REAL horror people!
