Recently, I brought you news of an upcoming indie suspense movie, from Big Shot Pictures and Director Stig Svendsen, titled Elevator. Now, we finally get our first real glimpse into the suspenseful Elevator as I’ve recently been sent several images from the film.
Elevator is the story of 9 strangers trapped inside an elevator. The catch: one of them has a bomb that could go off at any minute. As these strangers are pushed to their limits, we watch to find out what each character is made of as the suspense mounts and the web of intrigue unravels. Elevator gives terrorism a new meaning and raises compelling questions about who the real criminals are, in a world where the powerful few can so easily manipulate the financial system at the expense of many.
I think Devil proved its super hard to do anything in regards to suspense in an elevator. There has to be stuff going on outside. However a good director, aka anyone other than Uwe Boll and M Night, can probably create something watchable with this scenerio. You have to work clostophobia alot in a film like this, something Devil didnt do because it always cut away to other things just as you were about to get the feeling.
