Trivia

This was the first ever production that secured permission from the French government to film in the catacombs. The film utilizes a set of narrow, winding tunnels of the Paris catacombs, complete with real mint skeletons creepily arranged centuries ago. See more »

Goofs

The headlamps the characters wear are upside down. This was most likely done so the light didn't shine into the cameras. See more »

Quotes

Scarlett: If we find the chamber, then that's the way out. We'll find a way out.
Souxie: Are you sure?
Scarlett: I think I'm sure.

Crazy Credits

On the last seconds of the end credits, you can hear a character saying "The only way out is down", followed by some of the noises heard on the catacombs earlier in the film. See more »

Holy crap. not what I expected!
19 November 2014 | by (Canada) – See all my reviews

I watch a new movie every night most of them being horror and no matter how much i have liked or disliked them i have never written a review, Until now. I came into this movie thinking it would be your average found footage. Group goes into cave, spends the whole time running from ghosts or cave people, yadayada. I was wrong. This is definitely a movie to watch out for, very original, creepy, and a whole lot claustrophobic. It's found footage with a good story line, characters, and Ginsberg! best to watch in the dark with the volume up, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket. Sit back and enjoy, because you cant find many horror movies like this.
