Reviews:

Great watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

It is found footage in the catacombs of France so in addition to shaky cam and odd angles, it does feel really claustrophobic at points. If you were okay with “The Descent”, then you’re likely fine.

This is based off of a real thing that people do, exploring existing structures, some lost through history, others unused, and even more that are assumed inaccessible from the the layman.

Personally, instead of making these places a crime, people should be able to add infrastructure as needed, but it is the primer for the events of the actual movie. Chased down into the catacombs, they basically just keep going towards insanity.

There are so many good points in the psychological horror of it all, and the great unknown of the caves plus random acts of terror makes a great formula for the events of this movie.

Probably the best “philosopher’s stone” story I’ve ever seen.

I’m giving this movie 10/10. It became one of my favorite movie & below are reasons why: First, it’s original, different from other horror movies, which brings interesting story, where crowd of few people seek historic relic & treasure. Movie was very eerie & creepy, especially when they go deeper & deeper close to hell. Some very strong & intense moments. Atmosphere was also eerie cause whole movie happens in damn catacombs. If you have Claustrophobia I don’t recommend to watch it. If you’re fan of movies like The Tunnel(2011) or The Devil’s pass, you gonna like it.

Pretty good. Much better than expected.
First of all, there aren’t a ton of good Horrors out there that are truly original. I’m not saying this movie is one of them, but that lack of originality shouldn’t be the reason to give any movie a lower score. Bringing fresh ideas to the Horror genre is difficult, mostly because it’s difficult to find new ways to scare people. There aren’t a ton of moments that make you jump, but I think the genre isn’t really about making people jump anymore. Audiences have gotten good at predicting when these moments happen.

Where this movie does well, along with the rest of my favorite horror movies, is atmosphere. For me, having a dark, creepy atmosphere is far more important to success in this genre than getting people to leap out of their seats. The shaky-cam, found-footage style isn’t that much of an issue for me either. Actually, I think still does a good job portraying realism, despite being a bit disorienting and annoying.

Story-wise, I’d say it’s pretty unique. How many other horrors involving descent into the earth to find historical relics can you think of off the top of your head? One, two maybe… How many horrors can you think of off the top of your head involving a haunted house, a possessed child or doll, exorcism, a guy with a mask, or a cabin in the woods? 100? Not to say this is bad, but I’ll gladly welcome anything outside traditional horror settings and scenarios. It does dip into the realm of ridiculousness as some points, but nothing too over-the-top and far-fetched for the situation. The acting is good and the characters are believable for the most part. I would have cleaned up the final act a little bit more, but it was good enough to keep me satisfied.

Not sure what the critics are bashing it for. If there is anything to really complain about it’s not this movie, but the genre itself. That being said, lower your expectations and you might like it. I’d give it a solid 7 out of 10.

Raiders of the Philosopher’s Stone
“As Above, So Below” centers on two archaeologists and a group of urban spelunkers who break into the catacombs below Paris. However, unlike most naive tourists, they have quite the reason: they are in search of an arcane philosopher’s stone that purportedly holds the powers of eternal life. Unfortunately, the group becomes trapped in a labyrinth of caves that lead them deeper and deeper into the earth… and closer and closer toward the gates of hell.

Directed and co-written by John Erick Dowdle, who was behind “Devil” and the apocryphally unreleased “Poughkeepsie Tapes,” “As Above, So Below” is, at its roots, an action-packed adventure flick melded with the makings of found-footage horror, and, although at times ridiculous, I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t wildly entertaining. The central crux of the plot hinges on a mystical stone whose existence has been buried (literally and metaphorically) by history, and the protagonist, Scarlett (Perdita Weeks), the daughter of an archaeologist and alchemy student, makes it her life goal to finish her deceased father’s work and find it. While this is admittedly fantastical and no doubt requires a slight stretching of the imagination, the historical and mythological aspects of the film still manage to be compelling none the less.

That said, the real hook of the film lies in its setting: les Catacombes de Paris. To date, I only know of one other film that takes place in the ghoulish setting— the slightly underwhelming “Catacombs” (2007). While both films are very different in plot, they both share the same pull due to their unusually extraordinary setting. “As Above, So Below” also admittedly borrows elements from Neil Marshall’s “The Descent,” but those who call this film a “found footage rip-off” are way off base. Both films take place underground, yes, and “As Above, So Below” does appear to borrow a couple of sequential elements from Marshall’s film, but they are complete tonal opposites. There are plenty of wild and fun elements in this film, including secret passages, trapdoors, tunnels circling in on themselves, and ringing telephones 500 feet under the earth, but all of it is done in good taste and manages to evoke some solid scares and an oppressive atmosphere. The hand-held camera-work accentuates the explorers’ sense of disorientation, and one gets the increasing sense of desperation as they venture deeper and deeper into the belly of the beast.

The most obvious issue with the film is that it suffers from a half-baked subplot surrounding the individuals’ reliving/re-facing demons of their past, which appears to have been an overarching, perhaps even singular theme, but it fails to really ever take hold, crumbling under the film’s dynamic subterranean locale; quite literally under the weight of the earth. I felt like this entire subplot(?) could have been completely stripped from the script, and we still would have had a solid, effective film here. I don’t want to say that it juggles too many themes as a result, because it really doesn’t, but the incorporation of this with the mythology of the film comes off as a little bit harebrained. There is already enough Indiana Jones whimsy to be had here as it is, so these sequences of characters facing past demons are ultimately ineffective among the rest of the film’s funhouse attractions.

Even still, I found this to be a wildly entertaining thriller and a good, claustrophobic two hours at the cinema. It is not a great film, but it is a well made film, and is especially a delight for anyone who is as fascinated by the Paris catacombs as I am, or just subterranean depths in general. It’s claustrophobic, fast-paced, and at times genuinely spooky; at other times, it’s absolutely silly and edges into Indiana Jones territory, but at the end of the day, I thought this was a solid concoction of fantasy, adventure-thriller, and supernatural horror elements. Take it for what it is, and it’s rightfully enjoyable. 6/10.
