    I disliked this on my initial watch. Not really sure why. I think I was watching three movies a day and it got to me. Really enjoyed the rewatch. Much darker than I recalled. Some really great moments and kept me engaged.

    A deeply disturbing and chilling horror. AS ABOVE, SO BELOW maintains a nail-biting tension throughout its runtime as well as effective scares. The claustrophobic setting only aids in the feeling of unease and confusion that our protagonists face. Full of twists and turns. 9/10

    I finally got around to making the time to watch this movie and let me just say you NEED to watch this movie😭‼️ some might say gets slow in the start, but it’s so worth it. even if it’s slow, it still has so much to show you while you’re taking your time to get to the climax.10/10

Novel enough to be worth the price of admission, but you'll think twice before getting back in line for a second visit.

As Above/So Below purposefully generates a certain air of mystery by keeping the exact nature of its protagonists’ experience enigmatic, but for a film that takes place underground in tightly enclosed spaces, it’s surprisingly thin on suspense and palpable physical danger.

This low budget effort from director John Erick Dowdle and writer-producer-brother Drew Dowdle provides a few late scares after plenty of eye-rolling setup, with said scares due more to the heavy sound design than the action itself.
