Elevator

About this movie

9 people stuck on an elevator -- one has a ticking bomb - the other 8 will do absolutely anything to survive. The bomb cannot be defused. There is no escape and no promise of rescue. The unthinkable becomes the only reasonable solution. In a suspense thriller, both classic and contemporary, the passengers on "Elevator" are squeezed so tightly by fear and panic, the only possible result is horror. With minutes to live, there is no time for civilized morals. Nine sophisticated, Wall Street party-goers reveal the real people behind the facade. Crafted by the award-winning team of Norwegian director, Stig Svendsen and writer-producer Marc Rosenberg, they create a story as chilling as Hitchcock's "Psycho" and as demented as Polanski's "The Tenant". An amazing ensemble cast (Christopher Backus, Anita Briem, John Getz, Shirley Knight, Amanda and Rachel Pace, Devin Ratray, Tehmina Sunny, Joey Slotnick and Waleed Zuaiter) creates a pressure cooker drama you won't soon forget.

Ratings and reviews

Wondered if a movie filmed entirely in an elevator would keep my attention. Really liked the quick character development - each with their own nuances. Worth it.

More of a tense and bloody drama than a horror movie...A cast of familiar faces do a good job with an ok story.

Slow, borring, i wish i could have that 1 1/2 back of my life
