Synopsis:

From IMDb: “A thriller centered on two archaeologists in search of a lost treasure in the catacombs below Paris.”

Poster: B+ / C+

Review: (#1) At first, it looks merely like an inverted Eiffel Tower suggesting that below Paris lies something interesting. Once you get in closer and notice that the ground that has become the ceiling in the inversion process is not a standard Parisian city scape, but a cobblestone array of skulls. It’s a bit haunting when taken alongside the film’s premise. The only thing that might have made it better was showing more of the ground above that is distorted by the skulls in the frame.

(#2) Like a twisted king in a playing card, this design is very reminiscent of the one imagery used on the poster for Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones and being that both were targeting the Spanish-speaking community, it seems that the symbolism has religious meaning even if it seems a bit lazy.

Trailer: C

Review: What sounds like a terrific premise on paper ends up a jumbled, hackneyed found-footage horror film not unlike every other found-footage horror film out there. Matter of fact, the whole genre seems to have devolved into a traditional, unexceptional game of one-ups-manship.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
