As Above So Below rated R for language throughout and bloody violence/terror ***spoilers***



This was a film that I watched because someone else put it on.  I didn't think that the trailers looked particularly good.
The movie tells of a group of young people who want to go on a tour of the catacombs of Paris France.  The group consists of Scarlett (played by Perdita Weeks), George (played by Ben Feldman), Benji (played by Edwin Hodge), Papillon (played by Francois Civil), Souxie (played by Marion Lambert), and Zed (played by Ali Marhyar).  There are other characters in this picture but I don't care enough to list them.
The group goes exploring through the catacombs and decides to deviate from the map (always a smart idea in any movie in particular a horror movie).  Along the way, they start to have strange experiences.  They hear noises and start seeing things out of the corners of their eyes.  If they see someone standing in a corridor ahead of them, the person disappears when they round the corner.  Things progress for the worse in the form of disappearances of the various members of the group.  The movie seems to be implying that they have wandered into Hell.  Whatever.
This is one of the weaker of the found footage films.  It was cool that they filmed on location in Paris.  The story was differentish than the usual horror found footage films.  The acting was the usual ok.  I didn't particularly care for any of the characters.  In fact I thought that they were very stupid for wandering around in uncharted corridors underground where absolutely no one could come to their aid if necessary ghosts/demons/whatever aside.
