"As Above, So Below" is a mystery thriller horror film directed by John Erick Dowdle and written by Dowdle and his brother Drew. It tells the story of Scarlett Marlowe, a young alchemy scholar, continuing her dead father's work searching for the philosopher's stone, a legendary alchemical substance said to be capable of turning base metals such as lead into gold and granting eternal life, discovered by Nicolas Flamel. But this pursuit will take more from her than she expects.
