Review of As Above, So Below (2014) by Moviemikey98 — 29 Aug 2014
I went into this with 0 expectations and a fear of this being just another run of the mill generic Descent rip off with found footage. The director of this however directed my favorite found footage film of all time which is "The Poughkeepsie Tapes". I walked out actually having enjoyed and I was also a little shaken up. This movie starts out really slow and really not all that interesting but once the crew of characters enter the catacombs this movie really picked up. It had some genuinely creep scares as well as some very unsettling sounds and imagery. This is another rare case of good acting in horror movie. This movie had all the way up until the end. The end was a cheap anti-climactic abrupt end with nothing even remotely explaining what the hell we just watched. No Clues! Nothing! Even Under the Skin (one of my favorites of this year) a nearly silent film left subtle visual hints at what was going on. This has nothing! Slow beginning, bad end but great middle with some seriously chilling scares and an outstanding visit visit from an old friend (The Grim Reaper). If you are a die hard fan of Horror movies you will most likely enjoy this.
Score: 7.2 out of 10.
Legendary Pictures, 89 min.
