The Elevator (II) (2010) User Reviews

This elevator music is not for the faint at heart...

Yes, this is about an elevator. People get inside, people get crammed. The music is horrendous but that's the point. Try to image this scenario. This film does a great job of putting you right there.

Our hero goes from one crammed elevator into another one, slightly less full. However, this next group are sneezing, coughing and spluttering.

One has to ask, what's the point here?

Maybe that's the point.

Elevator has its ups and downs.

Elevator is an idea that should have the running time of a Far Side comic. It takes far too long in it brief running time, working on the original gag of overweight capacity on a ride that is only going nine floors in the time it would take to rise to the top of the Empire State. The banal elevator music and the protagonist's tension build nicely against each other but the ride is soon overlong, the ironic set up disappointing. About a century too old. The likes of Lloyd and Keaton would have had field day with it. A drab modern day silent.

Boring and annoying

Very short but quickly boring.

The story would be amusing if more dynamic.

bad luck
