29- As Above, So Below (2014)

While not as well-regarded as its source material, Dante Alighieri's Inferno, As Above, So Below certainly leaves an impression. The film was written and directed by John Erick Dowdle, with partial writing credits to his brother, John. The plot surrounds Scarlett Marlowe (Perdita Weeks) in her quest for the Philosopher's Stone, documented by camera man Benji (Edwin Hodge). Along the way, she joins up with estranged lover, George (Ben Feldman, Friday the 13th, Cloverfield). 
As they descend into (the real) catacombs beneath France, each floor represents a different circle of hell. Though not a direct replication of Alighieri's work, the framework gives a much deeper story than the typical found footage film. Some good practical effects and fair acting make this film a must see for anyone with nothing better to do. If you ever have feedback or recommendations on future episodes, please let us know at [email protected].
