Jordan Hoffman at the New York Daily News, gave it a 60 score, stating: “One of the world’s top disturbing tourist attractions is now finally getting the spooky film it deserves.”

Peter Debruge from Variety, gave it a 50 grade, stating: “It all makes for clumsy-fun escapism, not bad as end-of-summer chillers go.” Mark Jenkins at the Washington Post, gave it a 37, saying: “As Above, So Below is inherently absurd, but it would be somewhat less so had it fully committed to just one of its ridiculous premises.”

Jeanette Catsoulis from the New York Times, gave it a 30 grade. She said: “This quivering effort from the director John Erick Dowdle only increases in impenetrability whenever anything mildly curious occurs.”

Jordan Mintzer at The Hollywood Reporter, gave it another poor 30 score, claiming: “This low budget effort from director John Erick Dowdle and writer-producer-brother Drew Dowdle provides a few late scares after plenty of eye-rolling setup, with said scares due more to the heavy sound design than the action itself.”

Finally, Robert Abele from the Los Angeles Times, gave it an extremely bad 10 score, saying: “An entertainment-free sinkhole of Dramamine-worthy nonsense.” Stay tuned. Also, get your favorite Movie stuff, and more by Clicking Here.
