Summer is over and I am back. I have been to ORLANDO FLORIDA and was so lucky to finally go to the brand new Harry Potter theme parks aswell as the rest of Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. I literally nearly cried when I walked into Diagon Alley and I was in general overwhelmed with emotions as I am such a big Harry Potter fan! I also went to Disney Land of course! Just seeing your favourite films come to life is just a complete and utter dream! And I had such an amazing time!
But as soon as I got home I got myself and friends to the cinema for a good old horror film. Horror is my favourite genre of film, from supernatural to gore! So we went to see As Above So Below as it was a new release and the trailer and advertising campaign really appealed to me.
Now its coming to that time of year, my favourite time of year, where its autumn, halloween and bonfire night is upon us and is time for horror films to shine! So we went to see this, ive seen so many advertisments about it but I also heard of it from Pewdiepies 'Catacombs Experience' on Youtube, as the film is based in the Catacombs under Paris. He was sent into the Catacombs in Paris by the makers of the film to promote the movie and they did a good job because it was so scary, but hilarious to see Pewdiepie in there being scared senseless.
But back to the film. It is a documentary styled film, where a young architect is on the search for "the philosiphers stone"(Yeah, I thought Harry Potter too). After her father commited suicide she wanted to continue her fathers work to find the stone and finds herself deep in the catacombs, along with her friend and cameraman and two french locals who help her sneak into the Catacombs.
I have to admit, it moves at quite a fast pace, so the build up and scare factor lacked in my opinion, however I guess its good because it gets right to the point. I found it quite confusing at first, as to what was going on and where they were but in the end it makes alot of sense. So the group enter the "gates of hell" where people have been said to go in and never return. So obviously as a typical horror film, they go in! But I dont know I just didnt really enjoy it that much.
There wasnt alot of physical scares, such as monsters, visibal demons and ghosts, serial killers, you know the usual! haha. But you only see a strange man and a few people walking around in cloaks. Thats it. Just in my own opinion I got quite bored. It just got repetitive. And the way the chosen characters died was so boring. I know it sounds sick saying that but I mean in the film world, I wouldnt want any character to die, but its horror and thats the way it is. It just lacked scare factor for me and to say its a horror film, i didnt find it scary at all.
There was obviously the cheesy romance between the two main characters which just killed the whole horror vibe completely. I just watched the whole "Ill love you no matter what happens line" and was like for gods sake. And they lived happily ever after. Which just made it so much more cheesy! CHEESE CHEESE CHEESE!
So as much as I hate to speak negatively about films, I just did not enjoy this movie and found it quite repetitive and it just wasnt scary. However it is quite historically intereting at some moments. And it wasnt entirely terrible there were parts which had you at the edge of your seat. But all in all not the best supernatural horror film ive seen.
Im glad to be back blogging! :-)
