10 Most Disappointing Horror Movies Of The Decade (So Far)

10. As Above So Below

After helming the English-language remake of REC, Director John Erick Dowdle returned to Found Footage with this much hyped thriller, but the results are tepid at best.

Scarlett Marlowe (Perdita Weeks) looks like a model, has a black belt in Karate and speaks with a plummy English accent, so any resemblance to Lara is purely intentional, but you’d never see Angelina Jolie walk past a sign that reads Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here without a good reason. Naturally, her group ventures into the catacombs. And, naturally, there are weird people down there. They get lost. They argue etc etc.

At this point, the viewer starts wondering, “What can happen that The Blair Witch Project, Grave Encounters, REC, The Frankenstein Theory, Willow Creek, Evil Things, The Sacrament, Devil’s Pass, Greystone Park etc haven’t done already?” Well, nothing. The tour guide says things like, “People who go in there, they don’t come out!” A phone rings and Scarlett’s dead father says, “Why won’t you talk to me?” And so on.
