the blair witch project/tomb raider crossover made for nobody except me

In which the Goonies go to France and have a hell of a time.

Don't you just hate it when a film sets up its story really well, only to devolve into random nonsense? What starts off as a rather compelling adventure, in the derring-doing spirit of Lara Croft and Indiana Jones, loses credibility along the way, seemingly making things up as it goes.

Boasting such an abundant wealth of history, mythology and attention-grabbing exposition, there's a lot of interesting directions that could have been taken here. Not least when set in a location as creepy as the infamous Paris catacombs. But alas, somewhere in the creative process, the screenwriters chose...poorly.

An entertaining piece of urban spelunking nonetheless though. Consistently above boredom. Ever below excellence.

ya but why did they go through all of that for a rock

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

ugh I can watch this movie a million times and still not be tired of it. 

THIS is a good thriller film

This is actually a pretty decent found-footage horror, and the story was pretty interesting as it had place in history. I like it’s focus on claustrophobia, not just jump-scares and gore. Acting was sub-par, and was a little boring at times, but overall a fun watch.

While it is found footage (sigh) it uses a tired motif well and goes to some unexpected places. One of the better movies in the found footage category.

Blair Witch meets The Descent in this claustrophobic-adrenaline pumped horror. Not bad for a found-footage film.

First time i watched this movie and i enjoyed it alot . I have watched some found footage movies before but this is one of the best i have seen . It's a fun creepy movie , my favorite character is la taupe , he's really creepy !

I really appreciate this movie’s audacious Tomb Raider in Hell concept, especially within the generally stagnant found footage genre. It still falls into a lot of bad found footage tropes and there are way too many story elements thrown in way too late, but it uses its environment to great effect and the use of Indiana Jones adventure tropes is too much fun. Seriously, a found footage horror film about searching for the philospher’s stone and ending up in hell (with Dante references to boot!)? How fucking cool is that?

I kinda liked this? It doesn't do a whole ton to elevate itself beyond the average found footage movie, but having every character have a camera on their headlamp lets it actually change shots within the same scene, which is a real smart fix. And "Urban explorers find the entrance to Actual Hell in an unmapped section of the Paris catacombs" is kind of a genius premise. The movie's idea of hell is the worst thing about it. The death involving the car seemed especially lazy and jarring, but the demons were creepy and minimalist enough.

As Above So Below has a number of good ideas which makes it so amazing that it can't capitalize on any of them. It chooses an intrinsically creepy location (the catacombs) and self-proclaims itself to be a journey into the depths of hell which can both have great results if done correctly. Found footage and jump scares are not how you do it correctly. And I have to add that the ending is an absolute catastrophe.
