As Above, So Below is a found-footage horror film directed by John Erick Dowdle (Quarantine). Scarlett Marlowe is a determined archaeologist bent on finding one of the world’s lost treasures – Flamel’s Philosopher’s Stone. Through her research she discovers that the stone is located in the catacombs beneath the city of Paris. Assembling a team of colleagues and local experts, Scarlett heads into the labyrinthine tunnels. But as the team descends further underground, their personal demons will come back to haunt them. The film stars Perdita Weeks, Ben Feldman, and Edwin Hodge.
The catacombs of Paris are home to almost 6-million corpses – nearly double the population of the city – and extends 180 miles under the streets. Only a small section of the maze is open to the public; the rest is uncharted but often explored illegally by urban explorers called cataphiles. As Above, So Below is the first production to get permission to shoot in the catacombs, in both the public and closed off sections. As producer Patrick Aiello explains, “We were committed to helping John and Drew make it work and convey the experience of being trapped in the Catacombs. Naturally, there were many steps to securing filming in the off-limits sections of this landmark. From necessary tests of structural integrity, water and air quality to a number of safety clearances, the French government worked with us in unprecedented ways. We simply couldn’t have made the film without their help.”
As Above, So Below is rated 14A.
