A lot is said about this flick. Coming from the man (John Erick Dowdle) behind the Quarantine remake franchise and directed Devil (2010). Been shot actually in the catacombs under Paris it do gives it a special feeling. But known his earlier flicks you know that this is going to be another shaky camera flick. So I started with mixed feelings. Do I want to see another so-called mockumentary. It was all original when the genre started but nowadays they are mostly a big yawn.
Must say that this one do offer some good moments even as it is a slow starter after half the flick the creepy atmosphere do enters. And from that moment the effects come in some pure CGI like with the burning car and some on-camera. We do have the falling bodies like in REC (2007) which worked well and was nasty but of course by know we have seen it a lot, but I admit that it still works.
I didn't had any problem with the CGI used for the car because it do gives you some creeps. BUt it's the "Mol" that will do offer some goosebumps. The way he do attack and the result is pure gore. And that's what makes this worth picking up. There's really some red stuff to see and well done. Naturally the story isn't that strong after all, seen it a thousand times with mummies and when they are entering 'hell' you know you're in for a treat.
It isn't made for all horror buffs wandering this planet but if you like shaky camera's then you must pick this up. Some where between the jump moments of Paranormal Activity (2007) and the red stuff of REC (2007) or Quarantine (2008).
