Surprised how reviews depict this film as a decent horror film as best. I love the vibe at the beginning but it drags on a bit while the movie build up its main character and her goals along with her as a character. When the film picks up speed, it becomes quite fascinating to view even though it manages to keep viewers engaged even through its introduction. Great acting and I love the way they chose to present it to us as a found footage film and also how the found footage was done. !!Slight spoilers ahead!! Oddly not mad that a few characters survived. It's gnarly and quite heavily packed in the latter parts while the exploration middle section was just gradually gaining speed. I love the implications of the film. The character realize at what felt like a time too late that— in order to gain that which they desire, they have to give up that which their obsession lies; to conquer fear, they have to consume it. As Above, So Below is such a powerful title with even more powerful meaning. "What's inside of me is also outside and around me" I quote vaguely via memory from the character. As they entered hell, the past they held close to themselves and the truth of it becomes their hell. It becomes physical manifestation that cause not only emotional harm but also physical past the gates. But, to me, it also appeared that As Above (On Earth), So Below (In Hell). What hurt the characters the most and shaped them to who they are in the film was reflected in some distorted fashion in hell. The character touched on this but in a As Above (Heaven), So Below (On Earth). All things are connected, our heavens and hells are a part of us and that which we endured on Earth. In the end, their realization were not too late and that all things in hell are distorted and flipped. So, to acquire, they have to surrender; to conquer, they have consume; to leave, they have to sink further below. It gives off a very Creep (2014) x Terrifier 2 vibe for me. Both of which I thoroughly enjoyed and the former's even my favourite horror film, before this film that is. The way the main character, upon realization on what she needed to do, all the physical manifestation of hell became nothing to her and she also basically became super overpowered by quite literally becoming that which she had been searching for which is very Terrifier 2. Moreover, I'm not mad about the boiling tension between the main character and George in which led to their later confession in hell right before he faces death. Overall 10/10. Would definitely recommend to horror buffs and I will be judging others based on their opinion regarding this film from now on.

Honestly, any film with Rebel Wilson is no doubt going to be great. She plays a very specific genre and she does it stunningly. This film is no exception. A feel-good comedy and coming-of-age movie. Hilarious as it is heartwarming. Plus, Alicia Silverstone plays the character Debby(?) and I love her also. I do not understand why there's been so many 1-star review as it is so blatant that this film (along with most films Rebel Wilson plays the lead in) does not take itself seriously. It is not supposed to be taken seriously. ||SLIGHT SPOILERS|| A 17 year old fell into a coma and wakes up two decades later is a very interesting concept. People judge too harshly just because said fictional 17 year old actually likes the internet instead of scorn it. It make sense for someone before a time where internet was so easily accessible is awestruck and is attracted to technologies nowadays. If they wanted something else or a film more realistic, they shouldn't have watched a comedy film, especially not one with Rebel Wilson. Do not be fooled by the one stars review if you're not narrow-minded.

Absolutely adored this film. It's very nostalgic and gave off very prominent early 2010s Marble Hornets web series vibe. Very engaging and fun to watch. The only way I could describe this is a love letter to the early 2010s horror community online— Creepypasta, Marble Hornets, 'found-footage' horror genre (not to be confused with the 'lost-footage'/'lost-film' thing that's apparently a thing). Maybe I'm being too kind because of the nostalgia or maybe it's because the absolute trainwrecks that are Don't Breathe and Don't Breathe 2 I've watched. But, Creep 2014 is very engaging and pleasant. It doesn't take itself seriously, much like the early 2010s horror. It's somewhat relatable too (is that the proper word?) as a stalker situation can happen to anyone. Overall cool storyline, fun execution, relatable/likeable characters. Love that it's only an hour and half-ish long. Plus, the fact that the whole film revolves around two character (Aaron and Josef) with mentions of another minor character is just so fascinating. Refreshing to watch, pleasantly enjoyable. Adored the ending. Honestly didn't expect it to end so soon. Love the axe to the head, the crack and just the whole film. For anyone also enjoyed this, do check out Marble Hornets, if you've never.

Watched both the first film and this together. Both were dreadful, made no sense and was absolutely boring. Shouldn't have continued it. Still convinced the reviews are fake because they just do not sound real at all. I do not understand how a man who thinks he could impregnate a woman with sperms in a jar could even raise a daughter nor who that Hernandez woman is. Absolutely no depths to anything. The twists are alright but the film was so disengaging that anyone with common sense wouldn't have felt anything apart from apathy over it. I'm glad it's being taken off Netflix, at least in my country because this was so bad that it hurts.

Absolutely adored it. Feels as if a beautifully illustrated children's novel had came to life. Gorgeous visuals, directory, costume design and aesthetics. I loved the way each scene pans into the next. The jokes were delivered with a monotone voice yet lands very well. I don't quite understand the storyline yet I enjoyed it nonetheless. I say it simultaneously lives up to the praises and also not. There's no reason for me to dislike it, other than the fact that I was simply not in the mood for a film like this.

This series had a very interesting plot to begin with and I was very fascinated by how they would execute it. Gorgeous scenery, directing and even better wardrobe and acting. I love how the storyline keep evolving and building onto itself. The constant involvement of their work is definitely and added point— the way they establish one thing at a time, letting the viewers time to comprehend information before introducing a new one, is much appreciated. I'm halfway through the series and it keeps reeling me in for more. Very engaging and comedic— which is a surprising turn for me but I believe it is meant to be obvious and would be for average consumer. The dynamic between the main lead and the love interest feels smooth and fun. Great series overall.

People judge on this show too quickly, over the same reason too— the characters looks 'ugly' and 'tacky'. Just copy and paste superficial judgement without any real conviction behind it. I mean, I literally saw two of the exact same review, copy pasted word for word by two different accounts, both rating one star. This show is humourous. It tries hard but yet doesn't take itself seriously. Fart jokes? Sure, go ahead! Slushie? We all love it and love to see it! The whole show is meant to be comedic, aimed at kids. Of course, when I first saw the art style, I was apprehensive too but I quickly grew to love it. Throughout my feverdream of a childhood, long forgotten to me, this show remained memorable. I would think of it sometimes and wonder what happened of it. It's wacky, it's senseless but it's great to watch when you just want to turn off your thoughts.

The acting wasn't bad but the story was absolutely terrible. They took away all the iconic scenes and characters under the guise of being respectful and realistic. Yet what part about a shape shifting witch and stereotyping Chinese realistic nor respectful? I had expected this movie to be bad but after watching it, I was shocked and disgusted to find it worse than any reviews I've read. The whole 'qi' thing was really not it and neither is the pheonix. As a Chinese, I'm completely horrified, greatly disappointed, highly offended and absolutely outraged by this life action. I'd go as far as saying I want an official apology from Disney and a whole remake of Mulan. The cliché and the reveal took away all the impactful meaning from Mulan and I'm incredibly against everything this movie had done to the timeless and powerful Mulan

The trailer immediately grasped my interest. With Sophie Lillies as one of the cast, I knew I had to watch it as she did so great in IT. I was unable to catch it in cinema but wished I had. The cinematography, the visuals and the breathtaking scenery kept me entranced, solidifying its eerie yet enchanting ambiance. I adored how it played with suspense, reminding me of my past favourite horror movie — Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, and yet this movie far topped it. It's definitely a psychological fantasy horror in my opinion, making viewers think every second. It hints towards a certain events yet managed to twist it just enough to make you go, "what?" but not so much that you're completely driven off track. The ending left me a myriad of new questions unanswered, reminding me of LaLaLand where each viewers have their own interpretation of what the ending symbolised. The witty female leading character and the cunning but wise main protagonist had such a powerful effect that there is a story created without words between the two. This movie strongly reminded me of a piece I saw in a museum when I visited Melbourne where it showcased works from an artist who specialised in these kind of trippy fantasy psychological short films and it will most definitely be my favourite horror films for quite some time.
