Ignore What the Critics Say, You Should Watch These Underrated Movies

 As Above, So Below (2014)

This film is about a journalist and a treasure hunter that go down into the Parisian catacombs and discover the horrors that exist past the “point of no return.” After crawling through miles and miles of bones, solving brain-bending puzzles, and risking their lives around every corner, the team finds the entrance to the place that you don’t want to end up in when you die. This claustrophobic found footage film is so intense that you’ll find yourself covering your eyes twice as much as you would in a blockbuster horror film. As Above, So Below got torn apart by (underqualified) critics for not following the traditional conventions of a found footage movie, so it never received the credit it deserved.
