ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

etiamcirculus Thought I didn't like the character Scarlet, then I realized it's the actress I couldn't stand.The movie? It's aight, I'd buy it on DVD/Blu Ray

imabigkidnow88 Think Raiders of the Lost Ark meets Dantes Inferno. What a fantastic adaptation and inclusion of Dante's 9 layers of hell. 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.

Jackson Booth-Millard The poster for this scary movie was very recognisable, the Eiffel Tower upside with a pattern of skulls underneath, it was obvious where the movie was set, but I didn't know what to expect, I hoped for something relatively scary or interesting. Basically in Iran in Aramaic, young alchemy scholar Scarlett (Perdita Weeks) discovers a riddle on the head stone of Nicholas Flamel, the alchemist believed to have discovered the Philosopher's Stone, and finds a rose key that may help her to find the historical stone. The tombstone riddle pinpoints the location of the Philosopher's Stone as being in Paris, France, she travels there, meeting up with her former boyfriend George (Ben Feldman) and her cameraman Benji (Edwin Hodge). They conclude that the stone is below the Parisian Catacombs, with their guide Papillon (François Civil); his girlfriend Souxie (Marion Lambert); and their friend Zed (Ali Marhyar), they go into the deep uncharted tunnels. But the explorers get more than they bargained for, when they do find the stone and remove it, they are trapped in the hellish underground maze, with demonic visions and chambers collapsing on them. One by one, team members venture too far, and suffer bloody deaths, until only Scarlett, George and Zed are left, and they realise that the only way out, strangely, is to go down, as seen earlier on a Gnostic Star of David, an artefact symbolising the notion "As above, so below". Eventually the remaining survivors find what appears to be a manhole cover above them, they jump through it, and find themselves the right way up on the streets of Notre Dame, they are now safe. The story is inspired by Dante's Inferno stuff, and the film is presented as a "found footage" movie, there are some reasonable gory and Blair Witch style apparition moments that keep you interested, it is not the scariest thing you will watch, but it's not a bad horror. Okay!

Michael O'Keefe A group plans to make a party out of exploring for treasure beneath the streets of Paris. Descending into the dank, dark and bone covered twisted catacombs under the busy streets; these explorers hope to find a cache of treasure in the uncharted passages cluttered with bones. Wondering about all the souls that belonged to those bones, this dim-witted troupe stumbles around and feel they have discovered some dark secret. A cave-in blocks the entrance they used and quickly madness, paranoia and fear begins taking a toll. Is the only exit to be found a gateway to hell itself? Plenty of jumps, twitches and scares to go around. Worth every bit of its R rating.Cast members include: Perdita Weeks, Edwin Hodge, Theo Cholbi, Ben Feldman, Francois Civil, Marion Lambert and Emy Levy.
