Critics Consensus

After an intriguing setup that threatens to claw its way out of found-footage overkill, As Above/So Below plummets into clichéd mediocrity.

Adorei a câmera ser em primeira pessoa. Os atores mandaram super bem na imersão e o filme não é difícil de entender, basta 4 neurônios

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Very underrated and probably my favorite of the found-footage style of films. Using the very real Paris catacombs as the setting leads to some very creepy and unsettling scenes and just gets crazier as the story progresses. A really unique and terrifying depiction of what hell could be and definitely not for the faint hearted and those who are claustrophobic. A thrilling horror film to watch from beginning to end!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It's tough to get too worked up, as head-mounted cameras whip between fleeting figures and panicked faces with all the tension of a jittery recording of a trip through your local haunted house.

Grantland

Once upon a time, when someone in a horror movie turned a doorknob or drove toward a storm, you got to feel superior and shout, "Don't go in there!" Now it's more like, "Seriously? You're not gonna put down that camera first?"

Once the characters go underground, things start happening. Not scary things, mind you, but things.

Ghouls Magazine

Combining elements from Tomb Raider and The Descent with Dante’s Inferno, As Above, So Below is a striking and unique film that cleverly exemplifies its title by finding the horror within this claustrophobia of the soul.

Deep Focus Review

Fulfilling its B-movie requirements with ample jolts and tension throughout, the low-budget production boasts a diverting storyline and some fun, cheap thrills for casual late-night viewers.

Rated: 3/4

...filming in Paris’ actual catacombs gives the movie an undeniably spooky aura and oppressive claustrophobia.
