I take my hat off to the film makers. For $200,000 they put more into this movie than a lot of films do for 50 time the budget.It's not perfect. Nothing is. But dollar for dollar I thought this movie was very well done.The acting was brilliant, from the little girl all the way up the line. Every single character pulled his or her own weight and knocked it out of the park. The cinematography was spot on. None of that totally unnecessary shaky camp bullsh*t. Except for a few shots that were a little darker than they might have been, everything looked very good.Direction was subtle and nuanced. In one particular shot, when Celine and Maureen are confronting Don, Martin does his best to become invisible, finding something particularly interesting in the wall to look at. Awesome.There were a few cons.The whole idea of holding the elevator long enough for it to be overloaded was a bit contrived. After all, there had to be more than one elevator in a building that size.Security guards for a high rent corporate party don't even wear ties? And who was that dude checking IDs? Zach Galifianakis?Everyone had a working cell phone but no one thinks to call 911 until they've been there for a maddeningly long time?Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert!Anyone who has ever cut meat will tell you that you ain't gonna gut a body that big in three minutes, not without a saw.

I liked the movie Devil (2010) and also liked the movie Blackout (IV) (2008)All three of these have on thing in common, is that most of movie takes center stage in the Elevator and they all very different in a way This movie was a lot better then I thought it would, it had some decent cast, some were not likable.I thought the movie flowed really well from to start to end,even it just one location.There one really bloody moment in this movie, which wasn't to much. i Thought the movie was Entertaining

Been watching a bunch of lesser known horror/thriller movies on Netflix recently, some are fairly good, some are "ehhh alright", some are just bad...and then you have this pile of garbage.Seriously one of the "worst movies evar"! I don't even know where to begin but I beg of you please do NOT watch this movie.If you do here is a rundown of how it will go: First of all, almost all the characters in the elevator are dislikeable. In fact I hated them all except perhaps the pregnant lady and perhaps, to some degree, the fat guy (whose fate is ironic given that, but I won't give away too much).Seriously about halfway in I was just *hoping* for the bomb to explode and kill all the a-holes in the elevator. I couldn't have cared less for any of them except again the pregnant character who at least acted more sensibly than anyone else. You hate the little girl for causing the elevator to get stuck and being stupid and whiny, you hate the 'comedian' cause he's a jackwagon, you hate the old dude 'cause of his greed and arrogance, you hate the boyfriend dude because he's also another a-hole, you hate his gf because she's only interested in making a story out of the situation, you hate the security guard because he's totally useless, and you hate the old lady (you'll see why). You couldn't care less about any of them.Most movies like this have maybe one guy you hate--the guy that acts like a total moron--and the rest of them or at least most of them you are rooting for, to survive. This movie? Nope, you want to see them pretty much all dead. You just want the damn bomb to explode already and kill everyone and end this horrible movie.Then there are all these weird and stupid pauses and slow-paced attempts at 'suspense' that aren't suspenseful they are just boring and annoying. Like when they search for the bomb ever so carefully instead of just looking for the damn thing. I mean the person with the bomb walked around fine, made regular movements, the elevator jerked around, etc. etc. and the bomb never went off so I'm pretty sure the bomb is not going to "just go off" upon moving the bomb-holder and their clothes/belongings. There's so many moments like this along with pauses and waits for totally pointless reasons.Instead of waiting for all this nonsense to transpire and agonise watching this fail of a movie, you just jump forward again and again hoping for the point where either the bomb has exploded or someone to break the 4th wall and tell you this movie wasn't meant to be serious and the joke is on you for watching it to begin with.Then there are so many other things wrong with the thin story it's not funny. Both the attempts to escape the elevator and the rescuers (who are supposed to be experts) attempts to get them out make absolutely no sense. You can tell from a mile away someone is going to get injured, and you can tell the rescuers are totally incompetent as well.Once you get to the end you just shake your head and realise you wasted however much time you wasted watching this (and hopefully not the actual run time because I pity anyone that actually sat through the whole thing).The movie is bad. Really...really bad. Do not watch.

Look at the title. You see that one word title, now tell me, what do you expect from a movie like that? I actually think it provides exactly what it is supposed to. Maybe a bit more. Not a lot more, but I did like the (obvious) characters. It's not amazing or earth shattering, but it is more than decent.A few things are over the top of course, but still kudos to the actors, they did a good job on this. Things are predictable of course, but that doesn't change the fact, that you can enjoy the movie as it is. The inciting incident is of course something that would drive everyone mad in real life. Try to take the movie in, as it was intended if you can
