As Above So Below finds its footage on Blu-ray with a nearly bare-bones edition that doesn’t make this confusing maze of a film any easier to understand. Ostensibly a horror movie constructed from “found footage” of people who are foolish enough to go wandering through the catacombs beneath Paris, this movie wastes a potentially interesting setup and winds up doing one cattle prod jump after another before succumbing to total incoherence at the film’s ending. Given the relative success writer/director Jon Erick Dowdle had with 2010’s Devil, I expected better. But then, we must remember that the prior film was written and produced by M. Night Shyamalan. Clumsy and derivative, As Above So Below is not a release I can recommend, even to horror movie fans.
