Excerpt: “As Above, So Below” is a found footage film that... chronicles young polymath Scarlett Marlowe in her search for the Philosopher’s Stone...As the characters move deeper and deeper underground, everything slowly becomes more surreal.

I'm giving this movie 10/10. It became one of my favorite movie & below are reasons why: First, it's original, different from other horror movies, which brings interesting story, where crowd of few people seek historic relic & treasure.

If you have Claustro… read the rest.

Alchemy experience not required
It is hard to base a horror movie on something as esoteric as alchemy.

The tension is real and the characters act almost naturally, which is by far good enough for a movie like this. There are some d deeply disturbing scenes and a few very lovely twists.
