Unless it is an absolute necessity, and rarely is it, I follow the guidelines of my own self-imposed embargo on the use of a building's elevator facilities. As an undergraduate student, I found myself climbing many flights of stairs, book-bag slung over my weighed-down shoulder, wondering if it was worth all the effort. The amount of sweat a person builds up in this maddening personal decision is large, yet the worst case scenario that an electrical escalating contraption possesses would leave me sweating profusely. The worst case scenario, at least to my mind, is presented here in "Blackout," a new horror from young Mexican filmmaker Rigoberto Castañeda. I would say that it is the film to avoid if you are are squeamish about such frightening circumstances, but that would involve me insinuating that it should be viewed by those who would revel in such an adventure of fear.
