20 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Of Summer 2014

12. As Above, So Below

Release Date: August 15th Another Found Footage movie, following on from Into The Storm, but this time from the bountiful horror movie genre, As Above, So Below should transcend its awful title (which gives away a major hint for the plot twist) thanks to an engaging, creepy concept and a smart, universally scary setting. Set in the catacombs under Paris - basically a network of tunnels designed in the 18th century to be mass graves - the film follows a group of explorers looking for secrets to humanity's past, who, inevitably uncover a dark secret and are forced to face their own fears and dark secrets. The Selling Point: The premise of being trapped somewhere dark, with something sinister jumping out and picking people off remains irresistible. The Concerns: Again, it's hard to resist the temptation to lower expectations based on the genre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-KIzzF3S0o
