Archaeologist looks for the Philosopher’s Stone in forbidden parts of the Paris catacombs, finds something much worse than expected, in this rare non-execrable “found footage” film.. 10% Raiders Or The Lost Ark, 5% The Descent, 50% Blair Witch Project, but about 35% its own thing, which is pretty good for a movie like this. This had all the makings of a bad movie, first off by being a first-person shooter, but it’s someone somewhere along the way knew a little too much about how to actually make a movie, and managed to fill it with enough cool style to make up for the thin substance… might be a good date movie. For a piece of trifle with almost no plot they actually managed to make it fairly gripping. Ending is sort of an anticlimax though… they go through their travails, then when the movie is long enough, the travails come to an end, and that’s it. Rewatchability is decent up to that point, though. Just don’t go in expecting much, and when you get a little, you’ll be happy. (And remember, I liked “The Inside”, too, and like “The Inside”, I was surprised to look afterwards and see how low most people rate this film, although not _that_ surprised.)
