"The only way out is down."
That goddamn line made me physically uncomfortable when I first watched it.
Nah it is scary cause it fucks up your perspective since if you keep going down how are you gonna exit physically since your just going deeper and deeper
and the fact they kept going down and ended up going to the surface
Chillzey you’re soft
Deep.
Alice in Wonderland is a parallel to Dante’s story.
The most unbelievable part of this film is Parisians willing to speak fluent English
LMAO RIGHT
lmao exactly. I was so glad when my French host had was willing to speak English with me the whole time I was there

WARNING:
The Freemason politicians in the U.S.A. worship the evil fallen angels also the fallen angel Lucifer (Satan). Abortions and causing people to get diseases through flu shots including other vaccinations are a sacrifice to the fallen angle Satan.
Not gonna lie, halfway through the movie I only expected Scarlett to "survive". Was pleasantly surprised when Zed also made it out with the main duo.

Is it just me, or is Georgie’s sin not that bad? It isn’t his fault that his brother drowned. It was the guilt and remorse eating him up that landed him there.
I haven't seen the movie so I might be wrong about this but Ima take a gander that maybe he was scared about risking drowning too so he bolted and tried getting someone else to help. This, his cowardice, ultimately leading to his brother's death? Just spitballing.
Georgie explained that the leg of his little brother was stuck under a rock (I think?) which made him search for help, but sadly, he got lost on his way. As a result he felt horribly remorseful that his little brother who was hoping to see him comeback with help, died alone and in despair. Georgie is clearly not in fault in this situation; he was panicked and scared, which explained why he couldn't find his way through the woods. To add, he was very young during the incident; he was surely not strong enough to move the stone. Georgie was not a coward. The unfortunate events of life are to one to blame, not this poor guy.
Honestly, George wasn’t even supposed to go down there.. he survives because there was no sin for him to rectify. He was literally collateral damage.
Ashtyn K McCurdy yes, you’re right
I feel the same about scarlets thing with her dad. It’s not her fault he’s dead just because she didn’t answer the phone especially if she didn’t even know anything was wrong
Fun fact: the description for this movie on Netflix is “A beautiful tomb raider and her crew hunt for treasure in the catacombs of Paris and find themselves in a hellish underworld.” Why they included that she’s not just a tomb raider, but a beautiful one at that, I really don’t know. Sounds like the Netflix description writer had a bit of a crush
I don’t blame them, she’s beautiful indeed
@@joegoldb1erg lol she really is but it’s so funny to me cause it has nothing to do with the plot like her being beautiful I don’t think is brought up once in the entire film they could have even said “a beautiful, intelligent, resourceful tomb raider” to make it more relevant cause her being intelligent and resourceful is brought up way more lol
Lmao I noticed that too. She's really pretty tho. Kinda resembles Ms. Anya Taylor Joy
I agree but holy hell I hate it when companies ruin the main premise of the horror by saying "Oh they're in hell btw lol"
They should have added greedy into that

The only thing I didn’t like about this movie was Scarlet, she was very manipulative and only really cared about her goal until they got deeper into Hell.
until benji died
Not at all. The goal was to find the stone and yeah she cared about that but once they got blocked off she knew the only way was to get through the gates of hell. She was just the only one with a sense of grip on reality. She’s not manipulative she’s just the only one with common sense
its coz of that perseverance and faith that gave her the powers and atleast save 2 of them with her
Yeah she was kinda a mary sue as well which was sometimes a pain in the ass to watch.
yup She got them all killed but her and 2 others.

Is going to the catacombs actually a thing?
Yes, it’s a big tourist attraction
Tovarich Stalin Same I watched this movie and I was scared to be even near the place:/
Emy OwO it’s not fake it’s a real place, they ran out of room for bodies when a disease killed off most of the population in Paris so they started burying the bodies underground.
Emy OwO idk man some people find that scary
I wonder why this movie got bad ratings. I think the story and symbolism's were very smart.
I think it was too smart for people who were expecting a much simpler horror story. Hell, some of the symbology even went over my head, and I like to think I'm something of a smart cookie.
Jailynn's Inferno it's because ppl are to stupid to use their brain and figure thing out for them selfs. They didn't understand the plot, hence....negative feedback. Ppl have become so dumb it's painful 😖
By the time this movie came out everyone was tired of found footage movies which probably played a huge role in its bad ratings. I personally didn't like the ending but I did overall think the movie was pretty good. I didn't like the stupid decisions of the characters. And the convinent fake stone that only works once was pretty dumb too imo.
You know those fake stones are in almost EVERY piece of fiction involving the stone, right? They're heavily featured in Fullmetal Alchemist, as a kind of "prototype stone" that isn't finished yet. Thus, it often only works once or twice before it breaks.
Considering the stone was supposedly man made through a scientific process, it's not THAT unrealistic that there could be barely functional prototypes. It's actually MORE logical than the idea that it was a one time fluke that just happened to work.
Because people are daft and people don't like thinking when watching a movie. People like "logical" movies and movies that are easy to understand.
The concept of this movie and the ending is honestly terrifying.
psycho bratt it’s a horror movie what do you expect lol
@@darwing9980 just because it's a horror doesn't make it scary
psycho bratt rlly good ending
Extremely terrifying and scares me completely...
I watched it over and over just overall great script writing and acting
Just realized... Scarlett was actually never harmed. And she can literally do everything and she knows EVERYTHING. That stone must have given her the power before she had even obtained it
I mean she has been studying it for most of her life.
She already has the power but she probably needs to realize it before she can activate it.
that was one thing, other than the characters' poor decisions, that bugged me a lot throughout the movie
And her name’s Scarlet. Scarlet like the philosopher stone lol.
OOH so that’s how they didn’t die when they jumped down to the manhole. the actual stone save them since scarlet touched it
They literally marched through hell with each other, they're like closer than family at this point...
and Zed still got up and walked away without saying a single word
Alex Anderson Bro he literally walked through all the nine circles of hell and watched most of his companions die, he’s obviously shook as fuck. Its such a surreal experience.

No, S O B E L O W A S A B O V E
I love this comment😂😂
I just wanted to point out a few things I noticed you forgot to mention! (Not to be rude, but to be informative!) Anyway, in the scene when they first enter into hell and see the ladies singing, that scene is supposed to be the vestibule in Dante's Inferno. This is before the first circle of hell, and it is basically the tunnel leading into the first circle. It consists of two types of people: the uncommitted/indecisive and the outcasts. The uncommitted/indecisive are people who did not choose god or satan, and they only lived for themselves. The outcasts are actually angels that hid during Gods war. They were sent there and punished by having to sing forever, or something like that.
Also, towards the end of the movie, when George is bitten on the neck, he is actually being bit on the neck by the Biblical character Cain. In the Bible, Cain killed his brother Abe with a rock. In Dante's Inferno, it was said that Cain was sent to hell and was turned into the weapon he killed, or betrayed his brother with. Therefore, not only is George bitten by a rock version of Cain (someone who killed their brother), he too technically "killed" his brother. I think the connected irony there is cool.
One last thing, I found something interesting out about the scene that takes place after George is bit and Scarlett realizes she has to return the false stone to find the new one. When she is running back through the seventh circle again, she is pulled down into a pit of blood and hands. I did some research and discovered that is is supposed to be similar to the Phlegthon River in Dante's Inferno. Likewise, in Dante's Inferno, the seventh circle has a river (the Phlegthon) that is full of boiling blood that contains the souls of those who committed crimes against their fellow man. I think Scarlett is pulled down since a) she didn't answer her fathers call resulting in his death, so that's a crime against him, and b) she dragged a whole group of people into hell on a crazy quest and half were killed, which is another crime against man.
Also, that robed dude is satan. He has the face of a) a man who fell from heaven and suffered injuries, and b) an angelic baby. His face is like this in Dante's Inferno to represented his fall from grace. It shows how Lucifer used to be God most beautiful angel, but then his face transitions into deformity to represent his fall from grace.
So Cain (the rock guy) was the one who Scarlett easily shoved aside as she begins her trip to return the stone, and once more on her way back to the boys. Lol poor Cain.
@@beanrat8631 yes lol. She literally pushed his head and it exploded. That scene happened so quickly but it made me laugh so much!
Great explanation! :)

Thats my theory too! It seems so weird where they ended up
@@jackieweaver3884 it doesn't make sense to go down 1000s of feet only to magically exit out the top, even in suspension of disbelief. My brain doesn't accept that they ended up back in their own reality.
@@gmikoner same! imagine if they made a sequel about how they slowly realise the reality they are now in is not what they think it is, that'd be so cool
@@gmikoner it’s a reference to Dante’s Inferno I’m pretty sure. The main character went all the way to the bottom of Hell and exited through the door. Once he does, he ends up in Purgatory then after that goes through Heaven. So although he went down, he went to places in like an ascending order yk? (Hell -> Purgatory -> Heaven)
@@nicolasriley8018 I was thinking of it and does that mean I could olympic dive straight through all the circles of hell and land in heaven🤔

This whole movie is a thrill ride and it's sad that it didn't receive too much attention because everyone was sick to death of found footage movies at that time
I ended up watching it for the first time ever like 2 years ago and was SO CONFUSED how I never saw it when it came out. I think it’s a gem.
It frustrates me how so many people lambasted this movie and considered it "just another found footage horror movie" when it came out. I was intrigued the entire way through, and despite not knowing much about Dante's Inferno, I understood that the characters were descending into hell. (Honestly, it wasn't that hard to decipher.) I also see people complaining about the ending when the main character barrels her way through demons and monsters, despite the fact that: 1. She already explained in the beginning that she's a black belt and; 2. She's racing to save George's life and doesn't have time for Satan's shenanigans. People can do crazy things when they're panicked and desperate.
I absolutely adored this movie. I'm so glad to find a video Analysis created by someone who actually understood what the hell was going on in this movie and the deeper meaning behind the film.
‘’She doesn’t have time for Satan’s shenanigans’’ lmao I hollered 😂😂

I think that Scarlett wasn't actually the stone and the mirror was more of a metaphor for human capability. The mirror doesn't literally mean that she is the stone, but rather that through faith, anyone can do what the stone is said to be able to do. "As I believe the world to be, So it is."
This movie’s got one of the coolest posters I’ve ever seen.
Love your pfp
I dont remember this version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

@@gregthefishburger8270Technically you're both correct. In the US its Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and in the UK its Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I should've known while watching this movie knowing what I know about Harry Potter that the Philosopher's Stone isn't exactly a stone at all it actually lies within. This wasn't just any ordinary horror movie its a beautifully dark philosophical movie. Love it!
It’s been Sorcerer’s stone forever so don’t call someone ignorant because you’re the ignorant one for not knowing that the movie had two titles. Either I call Mandela effect or just different countries because when I was younger they said Sorcerer’s stone throughout the entire movie and now they say philosopher
@@1231234mimi
You took my comment the wrong way, I'm very aware that the Americans called the book/film "sorcerers stone", hence I called op an ignorant YANK. Sorry that slipped by you. And no, no Mandela effect here as far as the movies go, the cast didn't go over every occurrence of the word "philosopher" and replace it with "sorcerers". The books were changed for the American audience, not the movies.
And you're sure I'M the ignorant one? Ok...
imagine the world they crawled out into is a different one and is actually a reversed one of their own😀
That's what I thought I swear .
Pause.
that’s what i thought

Hold up----
One small correction about Dante's Inferno: He's not actually travelling into Hell to retrieve his lover, that's something that's only really implied by the sequels (Purgatorio and Paradiso) and worked into the videogame. He's basically travelling through Hell because he was wandering around lost in a forest until he got attacked by 3 animals, and saved by the ghost of the poet Virgil, who just kinda decides to take him on a tour through Hell, Purgatory and Heaven for no real reason :P
I was thinking that La Toupe (if that's how you spell his name) is Virgil in this movie!!!
They aren’t sequels. They are part of the Divine comedy and are meant to be together not separated. And the journey is through hell then purgatory and then heaven. A continuous story. And it’s also a political slap in the face for the time. Quite funny.
@@temirab.5891 the whole thing really does read like Bible fanfiction in the most literal sense. Self insert OC, best buddies with a legendary poet, everyone he hates is suffering in hell, it even all goes off the rails and gets really surreal and weird at the end.
@@femoman It’s also revenge for being exiled. Kinda legendary 😂
It is not for no reason, Virgil was sent by Beatrice to help Dante up to heaven. And Virgil says, like the mole from the movie, that the only way up is down. So they have to walk through Hell first
1. the trumpets that sound throughout the film are representative of the inscription earlier that says when the trumpet sounds the dead will rise.
2. the women performing the ritual all have blood painted over their eyes, which i think is indicative of them “seeing” peoples’ sins and judging them in hell. not entirely sure, though.
3. the mouths that bite at scarlett are symbols of her guilt over not talking to her dad.
4. When the woman in white attacks Benji, she shakes a stillborn baby at him. She likely died giving birth to benji’s baby.
4.5. [EDIT] Since Benji died on the “fraud” level of hell, it’s possible he abandoned the woman in white upon finding out she was pregnant, proving himself a coward.
5. Since Benji has a whole scene devoted to him being stuck, i believe it was probably a breach birth that killed the woman. He also freaks out about the singing women, pertaining to his fear of the woman in white.
6. Benji also is the one who gets his “cord cut,” aka the umbilical cord.
7. In the “above,” the mirror dusted over is silver. In the “below,” after scarlett replaces the stone, it’s gold. a property of the stone was that it could turn base metals into gold.
7. For a single frame near the end of the movie, scarlett runs past a symbol drawn in blood on the wall. it looks a little like : )-,-> i have no idea what it is but if anyone does know do tell.
8. Don’t blame Zed for walking out at the end. Dude lost his two best friends and his job because of some tourists.
dill pickle god damn I was trying to work out what Benji did to deserve what he got. That makes perfect sense.
Also double sevens
Good job with making sense of Benji's story and an amazing job of spotting the mirror turning from silver to gold, watched the movie twice and saw this breakdown but it only made sense after I read your commeng
Wait, how does someone having a stillborn baby constitute a sin? If you don’t mind explaining
iamprodigyable Since Benji is killed on the level of hell “fraud,” i think that he may have abandoned her upon discovering she was pregnant. On the other hand, the sin might be tied to the guilt that Benji felt for getting a woman pregnant and indirectly causing her death. since George wasn’t actually the reason his brother died but was wracked with guilt and punished anyway, i assume it’s the same kinda thing.
I like the fact that there wasn't a monster/ghost/evil curse that's trying to kill them all.
Hell itself is attempting to ensnare and kill them all....
@@HeyImLucious well yeah basically but I think they meant like in typical scary movies where something is actually hunting them down like Micheal Myers.
@Anthony Lopez yes, but it wasn't directly hunting down all of them specifically. Some "ghosts" only killed certain people.
@@bluntes almost as if the wardens of hell aren't demons but angels appointed by god. demons are the spirits of Nephilim which are trapped on the earth
I think what they meant was that their guilt and sins is what was really hunting them. It just took the form of evil and ghosts to hunt them down. They weren’t just attacked by ghosts because they used a ouija board or moved into a haunted house. This stuff appeared BECAUSE of their sins. It was their sins that was hunting them and wanting to kill them. It just so happens that the way it was done was through what looked like spirits.
damn, when I first watched this movie I didn’t realized how deep it actually is
Effy Stonem how deep are you tho
Same
IS THAT A PUN
ren .ferguson thanks for noticing 😩
This. Is comedy gold
This is not Scarlet's fault. All of this is supposed to happen. The one on the burning car is the one who told Scarlet in the club about where she can find Papillon and when she looked back, that person is gone. It's like they were invited to hell to rectify their sins.
this movie made me feel like I was underwater. I felt like I could breathe when they got to the end
you'd enjoy the descent lmfao
Honestly It felt weird but I would so watch this sometime in like a car ride and with headphones
Seriously me too hahahha
When they finally got out oh my god it was the biggest relief
Into the wrong world perhaps. Let that sink in
Brooke Houtz bruhhhh your probably right I didn’t trust the end (it felt too good to be true)
Brooke Houtz what do you mean? This whole plot is so deep that it’s hard for me to understand
Brooke Houtz I don’t think that’s true because he said going through the layers of hell all the way to the bottom is the exit, which they reached
cock destroyer either way still don’t trust it
"The only way out is down "
Immediately I started feeling claustrophobic
Hollllllllld the F up.... Scarletts dad spent his ENTIRE life and drove him self to madness/commiting suicide trying to find the stone, Scarlett (though her dad, and even herself unaware) IS the stone. And Scarlett and her father werent on frequent talking terms from the information given. Scarletts father was searching for something that was always right in front of him...brings almost a sad perspective to the movie
Anyone could have been the stone. It was only through the realization and the experiences in hell she went through that she was granted the powers of the stone. Whoever was searching for the stone needed to go through a series of events for their "soul" to be forged into the stone.
Well spoken, my friend.
Re-watching this movie, I think I can piece together La Toupe's reason for violently killing Souxie. When he is introduced to the crew, I noticed that he only mentions Souxie's name and no one else. "You shouldn't be here, *Souxie*" implying that he and her had a connection. I have a theory that there was a love triangle between Souxie, Pap, and La Toupe where La Toupe and Souxie were originally together. After he disappeared, Souxie must have went to Pap for comfort which then turned into a relationship. OR she coldy cut La Toupe out of her life and went straight for Pap without thought.
Since the Catacombs is supposed to make one face their darkest sins, Souxie's greatest and unforgivable sin was treachery for abandoning La Toupe. Another example is earlier in the movie when La Toupe first appears. Pap is excited/shocked to see his friend alive, but Souxie says absolutely nothing, almost as if she is feeling guilty for leaving La Toupe for Pap but remains silent.
In the scene where he beats her, the sin Wrath could be expressed by La Toupe's anger toward her for not caring enough to find him and for breaking his heart. He violently kills her for revenge and once she's dead, he disappears, as though he has passed on afterwards. He doesn't go for anyone else because all he wanted was to make Souxie pay, which he did with his own hands.
That's my theory at least.
i think so, because he only ever acknowleged souxie. almost as if he knew he was going to have to kill her. "You shouldn't be here.."
This is also reinforced by the first encounter with la toupe because he says “why did you never come look for me” (paraphrasing). Anyways, love the theory, I totally agree with it
She’s also the one who went to see if he was ok first. Maybe trying to relieve herself of some guilty feeling by inadvertently showing she cared? Maybe they went tunnel searching without pap and she left him and never came back that’s why he asks why “you” (she) never came to look for him. Ah I like this theory.
Devin I like this theory, it makes a lot of sense.
Also, La Toupe, like the "Guy who Pap killed" is the only part of the ordeal that beckons "the group" deeper inward. Nothing else but the apparitions of the past ask the adventurers to move forward through the trials of hell.
The piano, the phone, the hanging father, the brother in the stones, and La Toupe and Pap's Sin are the only PEOPLE that DIRECTLY TELL the party to "go deeper".
I'm pretty sure you hit the nail on the head here, 🤯. Also, the scar on Pap's hand is a burn!
Imagine wasting your healing rock on someone who just gets body outta no where

😂😭😭😭😭😂😂😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😭😭😂😭😭😂😂🙁
💀💀💀💀💀
"Healing rock" lmao
What?
They should have called the movie”Dante’s Lara Croft”
Linet.v
HONESTLY haha
Lmao, I thought I'm the only one who thought about Lara Croft in this movie.
Lmfao9
oh that would be so cool!
The fact that characters survived and even a fodder character makes this a breath of fresh air.
I watched this movie for the first time today and when researching beforehand to see if it was a good film I noticed some pretty bad reviews , 38% on metacritics, 26% on rottentomatoes, and 6.2/10 on IMDb. However for google users it said that 92% liked the movie, so I gave it a shot. I absolutely LOVED the film. It was terrifying, but intellectual at the same time. I think that the negative reviews took the movie at face value as another "found lost tapes film," but it was so much better than that. I love a good movie that requires me to think further. Thank you for the in depth review to further my appreciation for the movie!!
Terrifying and intellectual..............you must be both very easy to scare and pretty dumb to make those assumptions, this movie was a huge pile of crap
@@TheUltimateVoid dude this is at least the third comment I've seen you on bashing this movie and anybody who likes it... my question is, if you hate it so much then why are you on videos about it? All that energy you're putting into hating this movie could be spent doing something positive. Grow up man.
@@iLoVeBaM81491 i was watching this video because i was curious about this so called "analysis" and if it would be positive or negative about this film, and i am doing something very positive by bashing it, this opens the door for future debates, if you want everything to be pink and perfect you shouldnt be reading youtube comments, tbh i think you are the one who needs to grow up *"buu huu, stop being so meanie, dont insult this film that i love so much buu huu"*
@@TheUltimateVoid I never even said I like the movie... funny how you're telling me that I need to grow up but then turn around and mock me like how a child does. I honestly could not give a fuck if you like this movie or not, but to sit there and say that everybody who enjoys this movie is boring or stupid is just ridiculous.
@@iLoVeBaM81491 for someone who doesn't even care if i like this movie or not, you certainly pay too much attention to what i write about this thing 😂also don't you think is the ultimate hypocrisy to complain about me not doing something positive and yet here you are bitching about my opinion, is that more positive than what i did? Lol you are too sensitive for someone who has the image of a pedophile as pfp js.....
So I noticed that Benji only put the camera head lights on the ones who survived
Brooooooooooooooooooooooo
Mind blown
Maybe something to do with predestination
It means benji is the physical manifestation of fate. In the bible scripture 7.23 it said" he who sins shall have his fate pass judgment upon thee"
I think more people than just the 3 had cameras, but we never see anything from their point of view because they were killed and their cameras were left behind.
This movie used to scare me so bad because of the claustrophobic caves.
But then I discovered The Decent.
I’m never exploring caves again
Edit: I would change the spelling of the descent but it’s funny
Sm0k3turt13 lol the decent. Is it that a movie about a bunch of nice people doing polite things for people?
(sorry for making fun of your grammatical error. I couldn’t help myself)
That movie was terrifying
*The Descent. Also an epic horror movie. And Eden lake. Anyway, yeah, it's DeScent.
Jacques Noir that was the joke I was making
@@warmtummyrubs7864oh right. Uhm, ha ha? Funny... Hilarious. Try again.
I think this came out during a time where people were burnt out on found footage horror movies, which is a total shame, because I think this is one of the better found footage movies.
So when people explore stuff they end up dead but when I stay home and don’t socialize it’s a problem?
Nah man you we're just thinking ahead. We all followed your lead
What about ghosts who go into your house huh and locks the door
😂
This aged poorly
Shouldn't they have ended up in Australia at the end tho?
Gandhi the Terrible Australia doesn’t exist...
@@cratediggaz6294 it's true. Australia is fake and we're all paid actors. Haha
They certainly did NOT make it back to Paris by only going DOWN from Paris. I think they are in Hell, or the hell version of earth. they started "above" and ended "below"
@@bartistclord1916 Thank you! EXACTLY what I thought!

It wasn't until I was about 17 that I found out Nicolas Flamel wasn't a fictional character created by JK Rowling.
Paul Grant I feel really dumb because I just learned this and I'm well passed 17... I guess I don't learn much about philosophers.
I only heard of him in The Alchemist book series
Found out just now. I’m 19 😂
The wonders of Foundflix.
yep same
Thanks I didnt recognize the guy in burning car is the same guy who asked Scarlet to contact Pap....I think the creepy lady coming out of pub, and also passing by the window when Scarlet, Benji, George meet Papi...has something to do with Benji's past...must be the same lady with the baby who pushed him to his death...
Good catch!
Good observation there hey 👍👍
What about the "when the trumpets sound, the dead will rise." Those "weird" noises were actually trumpets and then the spirits, demons, ghost, whatever, came out of the wall and attacked.
Luis Prado those sounded like tubas but okay
The inscription above the trumpets one also says something about tunas but I cannot read French that well
Tubas*
@@brittanylee4591 The inscription reads - "The Trumpet Shall Sound, and the Dead Shall Be Raised". It's a quote from the book of revelation, matthew, corinthians and thessalonians.
Isn't there another inscription above that one? In the movie...
I don’t think the stone only worked once, I think Scarlett is the true stone, or at least the essence of it as she is the one who truly believes. When she heals Souxie the first time, she’s directly touching her wound, but when trying to revive her she never touched her head. And then again when she tries to heal George her hand is on his neck wound. It’s not her kids that heals him, it’s her touch. This is why we see her looking into the gold mirror when she asks aloud where the hidden stone is. SHE IS THE STONE. Also her name is Scarlett, which is the colour of the stone as well (which I believe to be garnet)
That exactly the ending “SHE IS THE STONE”
.n ... NJ ô
Its both: in Dante's inferno there's a fake philosophers stone with a single use, just like in the movie. And Alchemy had a big internal soul and realisation of truth focus, which makes the Scarlett gaining power after realising the stone is fake make more sense
Nots it not bruh😂
@@bakihanma839 its just my theory
Every time I watch this movie, I cannot help thinking that it's a masterpiece. I love movies with content, historical references and mysticism. I wasn't scared. I was fascinated, first with that clock from the church, and then with the pile of stones and the mention of Copernico. even with the discover of that tomb I was like HELL YEAH show me more
It's still one of my favorite movies. I've watched it dozens of times. It is a masterpiece.
HELL
i’ve watched this movie 3 times in the past 2 weeks bc i love it so much. i keep making different ppl watch it lol
This is one of my favorite horror movies and the history has a lot to do with it. I honestly didn't want to watch it at first, my sister made me... after a few minutes I was HOOKED.
EmperorJuliusCaesar huh? tf are u even talking about
The last part with them crawling out into reality UPSIDE DOWN made me so anxious i dont know why
i was literally speechless for 10 minutes after watching this movie.
Yo same💀 I took a acid tab and watched this shit it had me tripping the whole day

alright, teddy. go watch some more superman

you missed zed and his kid! when they are going through a tunnel with water and they can’t hear, lights start flashing and we see a flash of a little boy with curly hair, that’s zeds son
is the little boy in a blue shirt, with wet curly hair? pretty sure that’s Bens brother
Candle Cove oh shit you might be right, but wasn’t he under the water? i always thought the kid that you see when there’s flashing lights was zeds sons and bens brother was under the water. i’m pry wrong
@@candlecove7590 Nope because only Zed saw him (like look at his face).
@@candlecove7590 Only Zed saw that kid. Plus, why would they intentionally have 2 rectifications for George and only 1 for the others if that's the case?

GAISOLINE hah, same
Also JHOOOOOOPPPEEEEE
FoundFlix is just that good.
GAISOLINE Maybe all you needed was a different perspective.
JHOOOOOPPPEEEEE
GAISOLINE Omg Youre So right haha
I noticed after watching a couple of times that everyone who Benji gave a headlamp camera (bar himself obviously) survives. Scarlet, Z and George are given cameras A, B and C respectively and are the only ones to come out alive.
Nice perspective.
Didn't think that way.
U r right my buoy
I thought george was given D
@@baloo6630 he was. Benji had B and Zed had C
@@baloo6630 he was your right.
Cameraman never dies. Unless you’re black in a horror movie. You’re definitely dying. 👎🏽
I think souski guilt is never looking for her friend. He said when they first find him "you never came looking for me". Perhaps he only told her where he was going and she never raised the alarm he was missing until too late?
Or she is the reason why Toupe going there? I mean Toupe already know the danger but insist to go there.
But what about Benji?
@@frederickace I like to think more happened between the woman popping up and him falling, but we dont know for sure or what his sin was

This and Parasite. I’ve watched a ton of horror movies in my day and none of them really scare me, be it The Conjuring series, Japanese, Thai or even Hong Kong horror movies. But this and Parasite just makes me physically uncomfortable.
I'm claustrophobic and this movie makes my chest feels tight
This movie gave me so much anxiety and claustrophobia that I wasn’t even aware I had😰
I was about to stop watching the movie when I saw bengi stuck with the bones and struggling to breath and annoyed of the music behind him. If that was me I be dead of over breathing. To make it worst. I smoke bud on a daily
Me too!!
This movie scared the living daylights out of me. After the first jumpscare I turned the volume down to almost zero with subtitles the rest of the movie. It’s the camera work that made this movie so hard for me to watch.
You had ?
note to self: if you end up going to hell, think of the worst thing you’ve ever done and apologize
bet.
I think i will rectify
You know what’s funny is that Papion is the name of one of the kings of hell, who can grant the person who summons him all knowledge.
Papillon also means butterfly in french, so it could hint that Pap is in his final stage of life
Papion is the demon in the movie “hereditary” too

Lara Croft + Blair Witch = As Above So Below
I always say this movie reminded of me: REC + Grave Encounters + The Descent.
But I really liked this movie.
And the anime full metal alchemist
I think its more like Uncharted series instead of Tomb Raider🧐
Cristopher never seen REC, but got definite Grave Encounters and The Descent vibes. When they made the loop going through Pap’s preferred route, I kept thinking about the scene in Grave Encounters where they exit the hotel elevator and end up in the basement again
+ Blairwitch project
I love how Zed managed to survive cause he's the last cameraman
I like that for once it's not a 'everybody encountered some supernatural power and died at it's hands' sort of 'found footage' style film.
It's nice that there is an actual meaningful plot, with characters, who make decisions TO SURVIVE. In that regard I guess you could call the film... Groundbreaking...
This is such an underrated comment
probably my favorite horror movie of all time, it's so rewatchable and has such a fascinating plot
Plus, the main character is similar to Lara Croft from Tomb Raider so looking at it through those lens ads a new level of intrigue :3

There definitely needs to be a sequel where they find out that they're not actually back in their world, and they're in an alternate dimension. What's more unbelievable than everything that happened in the journey to hell and back, is the idea that they're back in their normal world, like nothing happened.
Maybe that’s Hell in and of itself, the Hell of having to return to “normality” of their own home whilst experiencing horrors unknown to the rest of the world
YOOO IT'S YOU BRO LMAOO. Idk why I'm surprised you're here since you're legit everywhere but I was still surprised when I clicked on your channel and it was the actual one 👀
usually you get tons of replies and this was 2 months ago but glad to see you again lmao
But yeah I agree. Soon as I saw them return and get out of the levels of hell, I was still questioning whether they were actually in the original/real world. Could've made for a crazy plot twist.
If I was with them and made it out too, I also would've been skeptical if I was in the real world. But I mean, idek if I or my partners would have the strength to go back and experience that "hell" again.
Holy crap it's you
But yeah there needs to be one
Real ending explanation:
The ending hinted that scarlet was, all along, in pursuit of eternal life.
Well, pretty much the reason for seeking the philosopher's stone, isn't it?

I learned that today when I bought the new papillon monster juice.

i learned that from the live action cinderella!
Souxie didn't violently kill anyone, she felt guilty that she didn't look for her friend La Taupe and he even said it when you first see him, he said her name and then mentioned no one looked for him and that she shouldn't be here. The violent version demon thing of him attacked her because he is her guilt and she didn't once say sorry all the way through Limbo. Benji though, I've got no frigging clue with the cultist lady.
Emily yes you nailed it! That's why this movie scares me. Hell is what our actions cause if we don't see our sin and deal with it instead of ignoring it.
Yeah I don't get It, what did Benji do??? And I didn't know that about Souxie.
The lady at the bar must have been someone benjie had a baby with. Thats why the woman and benjie kind of had a stare off as the woman walks away from the club. Probably explains why the same woman holfing a, baby appeared prior to his death
Leonard Hofstadter But how could he atone for that before he died?? Same with Souxie??? That was a violent ass death?? She didn't get a chance to atone before dying. Same with Benji,
@@KokkoiiMatoku they had the chance but they didnt do it. Benjie met the woman at the club, he couldve done it that time and atone. Souxie couldve said sorry or apologize to la taupe the first time they met him. Those maybe the reason why. Papillano said it's not my fault and denied it. He coulve atoned then but he didnt thats why he died. Zed hadnt met yet the child. The other guy tried to help his drowning brother under all the bones. And the girl made it up with his hanging father. Thats why the 3 of them survived
I just finished it and I know it’s based off the Dante’s inferno but my personal interpretation is that if you still have guilts/regrets , it’ll eat you alive until you die. Each person has faced a shadow and I believe the deeper you go, the more you see. I see it as a metaphor of the subconscious. You notice how the people who come to terms with it lived. It all makes sense
I love how the guy at the end just walked off like "this is just an average Tuesday".
Kwasi B-R Nah he looks more like he has seen some shit and is now scarred for life.
Another normal travel Tuesday
What? You've never gone through hell? Lol what are you doing with your life?
he like , fucking hell not again
“Damn, again? Third time this week. I gotta stop hanging out with archeology chicks.”
holy shit this movie is alot more deep then i thought, it made it 100x better lmao
BD Undead exactly
But is it as deep as the catacombs tho
It really isn't very deep though. Despite correlating with Dante's Inferno, it's all very obvious and stays on a generic surface level. It's still a crappy horror film, that's trying to be smarter than it actually is and failing to even pretend it is.
BD Undead "a lot more DEEP" nice. XD

I hate to be this way, but Dante didn’t go to hell to save his lover. Dante’s lover sent Virgil to guide Dante on a life changing journey so that he doesn’t end up in hell when he dies. Basically Beatrice, Dante’s lover, is telling Dante to change his ways.
That is correct, Dante searches for his lover, but she is already dead, so she sends Virgil to guide him to cleanse him of his sins and that Beatrice takes Dante up to heaven after they pass through the seven circles of hell.
@@GenGamesUniverse dude there are 9 circles not 7
Ah, good that there's people like you!
I was also confused when he said that Dante went to hell, to save Beatrice..
It is also fun fiction with a self insert and all
Dante when he gets back: “...The FUCK was THAT, BEATRICE?”
This was one of those random netflix movies that I threw on just to have something playing in the background while I was playing video games. Ended up barely playing my game and this became one of my favorite horror movies. It is incredibly underrated. I think it didn’t get the attention it should have because it is a found footage movie, something that many people got tired of years ago.
It scared me so much when that girls head got bashed into the ground, it scared the fuck out of me. When I first watched, the tv's volume was all the way up, and I was really paying attention, and then randomly he just fucking did it, I think I screamed and I was fucked up for the rest of the day...

Very true, you find God by accepting him within you. You keep faith in him and trust. For instance doing a hobby or activity you like can ease your mind and help you connect!

Personally, I don't think they made it back to the Real World(TM)...
I think they made it to "Hell" which is basically a mirror image of "Earth" but on the *inside*.
Recall, Flammel's tomb was supposed to be *half way* between Earth and Hell (2:47). Which to me makes it seem like they, in fact, "ended" their journey "inside" the earth ... ALL THE WAY to Hell.
I really kind of want them to make a sequel (As Below, So Above) where they realize this, and have to try to actually make their way back to the REAL Real World, not this "off" / "opposite" world inside the world which they got to in kind of an "upside down" manner.

Hey atleast they can go through Hell again but with Scarlett having Potion of Healing powers also
@@jayllow01 and for the ending of the 2nd movie. Scarlett saves the two guys and ends up getting trapped and left behind. Due to immortality she's stuck forever in the catacombs
its an interesting theory but iirc they saw the unrotten corpse of flammel, went into some cave, and then basically went all the way back in reverse. So, if flammel is half way in, then the other half would make the journey thru hell complete
