I am not sure why when I saw this trailer I was intrigue, but I was. I haven't been too fond of found documentary movies. They seem the lazy way of making a movie to me, but some do it right. So I added this one to my netflix queue and I finally got a chance to see it.
Synopsis:
Archaeologist Scarlett Marlowe (Perdita Weeks) has devoted her whole life to finding one of history's greatest treasures: Flamel's Philosopher's Stone. According to legend, the artifact can grant eternal life and turn any metal into gold. When she learns that the stone is hidden underground in the Catacombs of Paris, she assembles a crew to guide and document her historic mission. As they begin their descent, the team-members have no way of knowing that they are entering their own personal hell.
Review:
This movie is pretty interesting it combines legends, urban exploration, the supernatural and horror into one movie. I think it is done very well. Most movies in this subgenera seem to fall short, but not this one. I was engaged and felt like I was there with them. It is spooky and maybe because I'm not 100% sure, but I think I could be a bit claustrophobic based on how I feel looking at movies or images of small spaces in caves makes me uncomfortable.
You gett a sense of something is going on since each of the members of the party see things from their past that can't be real. There was the siren sound that is just as creepy as in other movies. It is something I already am dreading even thinking about going in a cave or something like that. The one thing that I will say that was annoying is when they started to see odd people and what not they kept the lights on and acted like they couldn't see them. I am not sure if it's just something that was over looked, but I thought it was weird.
Overall, it's a good movie and one that I think should be seen by anyone who likes a good story.
