Enjoyable experience (thanks Yoda) 3/5

As Above, So Below (2014)

I usually stay away from anything in the "found footage" genre. I'm not a fan of shaky cam, and most of these films tend to be full of characters making really bad decisions, and if cameras are lost or all the characters die, then I always wonder who edited all the segments together, and how did they find the videos? As Above, So Below luckily doesn't really have any of those problems.

Despite my apprehensions going in, I really enjoyed this movie. The story was far more engaging than I expected it to be, and I really liked the atmosphere and supernatural elements of it (minus the burning car part, I thought that was dumb). In most places the camera movement is not distracting, and I actually found the movie to be pretty tense, especially in the latter parts. To quote what my room mate said before I started to watch it, this movie is way better than it has any right to be.

I gotta nudge Yoda. sheesh!

Quick clarification: FromBeyond asked me to pick a movie for him, but he must have assumed I was already familiar with this, because he didn't mention anything about me having to watch another after. I didn't realize I was volunteering for anything beyond choosing his movie. Sorry guys. Please find someone else; things are a bit crazy right now.

Well, a ding dong dang!

Anyone want to volunteer?

Figured on that.

Completed my task and watched Eraserhead! Here's what I have to say about it...




























The end.

Best review ever.

I'm always willing to participate if need be.

Go for it, we need somebody. Pick someone to give you a movie.

Done. Got through Doctor Who: the movie. Sorry to say, not my cup of tea. I think I'll just stick to videos riffing on the bad episodes.
