Apr 3, 2019 For a found-footage (bleh!) movie that can't make up its mind whether it's about the claustrophobia of underground tunnels or a literal entrance to hell, AASB isn't too bad. Some of the found-footage elements are used well -- objects disappearing as a character looks away and back, or tight views of what it's like rappelling down a narrow well -- but there is the obligatory chaos where the movie is panicking and the audience can't tell wtf is going on. I won't be rewatching, but it was an entertaining movie. But anything set post-Harry-Potter oughtn't be allowed to mention Nicholas Flamel or the Philosopher's Stone without at least a passing reference... See more

Finn W Mar 27, 2019 if the critics (not all of them) didnï¿ 1/2(TM)t have their heads up their asses all the time, theyï¿ 1/2(TM)d see SO much good in movies and see the HORRIBLE movies for what they really are...yes, this movie did kinda fall apart at the end, but it was the last few minutes of the movie...like hell, this was a great entry into the found-footage genre...and one of the best modern day found footage films besides rec 1, 2, the blair witch reboot, and cloverfield, and the first two paranormal activity films...stellar performances, a super creepy story, and a descent into (quite literally) hell. also the story got you rooting for the main character, and kept you on the edge of your seat, with decent jump-scares and some gruesome deaths...

Kylo W Mar 5, 2019 the concept is interesting and i like that it takes place in the catacombs. however, the constant shaky cam makes me nauseous, the plot is meh, and the characters are all pretty unlikeable. [spoilers] scarlett makes george come into the catacombs with her even though she knows he hates caves because his brother drowned in one. george talks smack about scarlett to random people. everyone yells at each other with only the slightest provocation. they're all huge jerks and i wasn't too sad to see most of them die. also there are a few immersion breaking plot holes -- the most notable for me is the aramaic riddle that george translated. somehow it rhymes perfectly in modern english, despite being written by nicholas flamel in the 14th-15th century.

Leia R Feb 20, 2019 Although a promising build up with claustrophobic cinematography and the most tolerable POV filming, this film took all possible creative potential in it's depiction of the "below" to the deepest depths of hell itself. {SPOILERS} I was anticipating something of a Dante's Inferno type of world, but having it be entirely the same as the real world but adding some blood, hooded robes, and stone monsters completely made it a mediocre horror flick. The worse part is that a majority of the characters were already killed off when their punishments would've arrived, so there's very little to add to character development to care or feel indifferent about. This is coming from a person who loves Hellraiser and Constantine and other media that use hell as a form of setting, you have to get creative with it. In short, this film cheapens the idealistic potential that was possible about hell and gives a great build such a disappointing letdown. See more

Feb 11, 2019 An intriguing initial premise of tomb raider meets da Vinci code turns into a live shaky-cam horror movie which devolves into batshit crazy randomness. It's like they had a good idea to start but had absolutely no idea how to finish the movie. See more

Harry S Jan 31, 2019 i can say that this film didn't scare me but the plot was interesting and the all theme, but i was expected something better
