It's tough to get too worked up, as head-mounted cameras whip between fleeting figures and panicked faces with all the tension of a jittery recording of a trip through your local haunted house.

Once upon a time, when someone in a horror movie turned a doorknob or drove toward a storm, you got to feel superior and shout, "Don't go in there!" Now it's more like, "Seriously? You're not gonna put down that camera first?"

Once the characters go underground, things start happening. Not scary things, mind you, but things.

As is, 'As Above/So Below' will have to live on in the catacombs of cult flicks, where you'd have to be daring to face it down on any given stormy night.
