(HORROR) As Above So Below - 2014 ***


'As Above So Below' is a very strange film. It's got a mirriad of strange happenings that wall appear to relate to ancient scriptures and mythology. The lead character Scarlett is an infuriating architect, completely self absorbed in herself and her 'quest' to find the Philosopher's Stone, which she has been told is under the mysterious catacombs in Paris. It's the sort of place you can only get to if you have a tour guide or someone 'in the know' and so we are introduced to a weird bloke who takes them into the deepest, darkest parts of the catacombs. Scarlett is utterly absorbed in finding this stone, which has been the focus of her whole career and puts the group of people she is with in extraordinary danger. 
Its not a run of the mill horror film, and it can be quite helpful if you know a bit about the legend of the Philosopher's Stone, but it can still be enjoyed independently.
