I wish there were more movies involving the Catacombs. There are a couple... but not nearly enough, IMHO. The most known probably being "As Above, So Below".
A realistic rendition is the film Catacombs (2007) As Above, So Below (2014) is also interesting but more fantastical.
For a real tour showcasing a few of the organized rooms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q8Hw3XCwhs
A interesting aspect of the Catacombs is that some Parisians have dug their own tunnels and added various objects in the rooms.
As Above, So Below.
I've always been interested in occultism, philosophy and history; this movie combined all three, and was just so good, in my opinion. I initially watched it twice by myself, and then watched it with a friend, and again with another friend.
Similar movies
Blaire Witch (the 2016 requel).
As above, so below (2014).
Mine Games (2012).
Maybe beyond the aquilla rift, but also The Zima Blue episode of love death and robots (aired 2019). Also a short story. I think this will resonate with most of HN.
Love death and robots is certainly on Netflix.
