Finally got around to watching As Above, So Below. Been hearing a lot about this movie, some good and some bad, but I loved it!! It was the sort of horror film that was made just for me. Supernatural Horror? Check. Mind-Bending/Nightmare Weirdness? Check. Pretty Protagonist? Check. Ancient Freaking Artifacts/Archaeology? Double Check.
This film is a found footage film, which I know isn't everyone's cup of tea, but for some reason these things still work for me. Not all of them, there's definitely some stinkers out there, and I'd rather a standard non-found footage film, but I still jump at the scares in the Paranormal Activity films.
And I don't know what's going on, maybe my tastes have been changing as I get older and I've watched more and more films. I usually agree with critics on films, but this film and the recent Batman V. Superman have demonstrated how disconnected I seem to be compared to the average reviewer. This film got a lowly 27% on Rotten Tomatoes, which I just don't get. This was a really fun, non-stop action scare film. It reminded a lot of both Grave Encounters and The Descent, which both have a very decent rating on RT. Anyways, if you still enjoy the found footage genre, I give this a strong recommend.
