Really enjoyed it for what it was. Cool concept and executed well, one of the better mainstream horrors of the last few years.

Although there are some questionable and stupid parts (and characters), it's a surprisingly solid and creepy flick.

First of all, this is not a "found footage film". It's a go-pro film ;) and it does wonders to the atmosphere of this movie. A combination of Decent/Da Vinci Code/generic light horror film, not trying to be too much of any of them but takes the good from all. Surprisingly enjoyable considering the low budget and small cast.

So lame except for the scenery / sets, which were not built by them. Hardly worth a watch even if you really enjoy catacombs like me. Biggest complaint? THINGS DON'T RHYME IN ENGLISH WHEN TRANSLATED FROM ANCIENT ANYTHING.

One of the best movies I've seen lately. Good scares and the concept was really well executed.

As Above So Below is the most recent example of the "found footage" genre, a story that owes as much to The Blair Witch Project as it does to treasure hunting films from Raiders of the Lost Ark to The Ninth Gate or National Treasure, with a wink towards Dante's Inferno. Essentially, an archaeologist looking for the fabled Philosopher Stone assembles a team in Paris (which includes a documentarian) to go down into the catacombs looking for an alchemist's hidden chamber. What they find is a gateway to Hell itself. Though it has some dialog that sounds like improvisation, most of it seemed rather too written to make me entirely believe in the found footage conceit, but it works as a strange archaeological puzzle with a great many jump scares and creepy elements, eventually allowing for character and audience catharsis. The immediacy of the found footage format takes you on that journey with them, and may well prove uncomfortable for anyone who has claustrophobia. In fact, I still can't figure out where the real catacombs end and built sets begin. It has a seamless sense of place. The ending is enigmatic, but is definitive, unlike most found footage movies which end in a kind of abrupt ambiguity.
