lemon_magic All right, I just have have to get this out of the way up front: Professional archaeologist and her experienced catacomb-spelunking expedition companions go on an exploratory trip into the unknown depths of the Paris catacombs...and they don't bring GLOVES ??? With that out of the way, my other complaint is that most of the illusions/hallucinations/traps that came to life to bedevil our heroes and heroines were pretty flat and unconvincing. Maybe there needed to be a bit more backstory for the characters in the party, or maybe the art direction and design (which probably looked pretty good on the storyboards) needed a little more polish and revision. Whatever, with very few exceptions, the revenants and wraiths just weren't scary in and of themselves. I sort of had to persuade yourself that the characters would find them convincing.And this isn't really a complaint, but the movie just had more ideas and subplots than it knew what to do with, leaving a lot of the suggestions and subplots unresolved or unanswered. It's seems possible that a lot of material got left on the cutting room floor as the editors tried to keep the movie from being over long and too hard to watch. That sure beats the alternative of thin plots being stretched out too far or editors having to pad the film with extraneous junk, but it's still a problem. Now, in its favor: the movie got a lot of things right. Unlike most similarly themed movies, the screenplay incorporated many of the classic Grail, Inferno, and alchemical mythic tropes, which lent it a lot of oomph for people who are up on those things (so it's as much suspense as it is horror). Unlike "Tomb Raider", the protagonists are not larger than life icons whose safety and survival are guaranteed (which ramps up the tension and uncertainty). The sense of claustrophobia, creepiness, and isolation as the expedition ventures further and further down the rabbit hole with no way back, is very well done. The actors are attractive, interesting, and likable (except maybe for the character of "Zed", who doesn't seem to have much purpose other than to fill out the party and doesn't have a lot to say or do that any other character could have done.) So: worth watching if you enjoy this sort of thing. Different enough (with its mythical themes and ideas) from the typical monster or revenant movie to feel fairly fresh. Fairly well acted, with a lot of energy at times, and a good sense of suspense for most of the movie. I liked it enough to purchase a copy of it after I rented it.

Michael Ledo Scarlett (Perdita Weeks) is a female Indian Jones complete with a book of information given to her by her father. She comes across a new piece of evidence which is a riddle for the location of the Philosopher's Stone, ignoring the fact Harry Potter found it. Scarlett gathers a team and illegally enters the catacombs deep under Paris.This is another hand held genre. It was confusing as to who was filming as the camera is sometimes in two different rooms. In this film, the sound is bad, the lighting is low, the camera is in constant shaking mode, heads are cut off making the film nearly unwatchable.The title is a clue they use to navigate through the caves.

vishnu-dileep08 This movie is based upon a team of explorers who venture into the catacombs that lies beneath the streets of Paris in search of treasure but they end up discovering something else.The movie starts off with great expectations but as it goes forward towards the middle we will start to feel that nothing is happening but I would say to wait as the rest is just a roller-coaster of chills. The story line was really promising and it was delivered perfectly. It had great purpose and especially all those puzzles and riddles. The leading actress did a good job. The ending was also unexpected and good. And I love movies which are shot in a documentary fashion.Yes I would ask you guys to give this movie a shotNotable actingPerdita WeeksMy Rating 7/10

jdk-04628 I see this movie currently has a 6.2 rating on IMDb. In my opinion, that is far too low a rating for a movie with this much going for it. The script is well-done, the cinematography is absolutely fantastic, special-effects fantastic, the acting is mediocre, but you can't have everything or it would be a 10! Not much gore, but instead has plot twists that caught my son and I off-guard. Seriously, rent or buy this movie, and watch it late at night. It will give you thrills and chills, and that's what a good horror movie is supposed to do.
