I'm not sure if I likes As Above, So Below or not. I think that I do, but when I try to think about why I like it, I can't think of anything. It's not really a "Found Footage" movie as the footage isn't "found" and it sets itself apart from the typical found footage in that there are multiple cameras and they aren't shaky or shitty like we've become used to. The acting is surprisingly good and the characters are decently fleshed out and relatable for a horror movie, although the characters didn't always seem to be nearly as afraid of even merely concerned enough at the events that occur, especially Ben Feldman (who I love as an actor, but doesn't hit all the notes he needed to). The scenery is plenty creepy and there is an unease throughout the film, but beyond a few cheap jump scares it was never really scary. The plot has some real potential, just with the setting of the Parisian catacombs, but the execution is questionable at best. The set up is convoluted and boring and is easily the worst part of the movie, which isn't a good start. They establish that our main character is an overqualified Mary Sue who is continuing her father's research on alchemy. After the trailers, I was prepared for creepy skeleton ghost/paranormal movie, but that's not what As Above, So Below does. Our team is after the Philospher's Stone, so yeah, it goes in that direction. There is plenty of symbolism to unpack and things you'll notice on a second watch through, but as a straight horror movie, its missing depth. There is too much of a reliance on jump scares, they rely on the music far too much to build the scene, and it simultaneously feels boring and long while it also feels like it's going too fast and not flesh out the story. The characters are strong, but the story is weak. As Above, So Below feels more like Horror Da Vinci Code, than a real horror movie. I really want to like it and there are parts that were great, but even ignoring the misleading trailers, I just don't think the script is well written and its a chocolate Slim Fast when I want a Double Chocolate Fudge Milkshake. It's a skeleton of a movie that needs meat.
