Why?
You
are deep underground, and trapped in the darkness with your deepest secrets.
This film was far more complex than I had anticipated, and it was a pleasant
surprise coming from trailers that seemed to advertise a normal horror film.
The ideas about alchemy and the perspective on what is up and what is down
created a fascinating adventure sprinkled with terrifying jump scares. The
camerawork illustrated the found footage format, but the creative twist
involved each character having their own point of view from individual cameras.
As the film progresses, the number of perspectives lessen and narrows to focus
on the conflict between redemption, pride, love, and the truth. Despite slight
weaknesses in acting and development in plot and character, the film is worth a
watch because it provokes thoughts about many different themes. A simultaneous
strength and weakness was the length because sometimes leaving more questions than
answers can inspire a desire to explore and speculate about our world.
