Between Avengers: Endgame and "Stranger Things" it's been a huge week for trailers, but our favorite definitely involves Leo dancing ...

Of way more interest than THE 13TH FLOOR itself are the four reviews here.
"Duane Morin" thinks this is a 'better film than eXixtenZ'..yeah right, that's funny!
"Sr Xavier" complains about the film being a tad predictable but that THE MATRIX 'beat them to it!' Got news for you my man, This film pre-dated THE MATRIX by a decade! (Aside from which, both films bear as much similarity as THE LION KING to BONNIE AND CLYDE)
"Daniel Gardner" writes that at the conclusion of the flick he wondered "How stupid does Roland Emerich (sic) think I am?" One may indeed wonder! Roland Emmerich however DID NOT MAKE THIS FILM!
and finally, the in-depth critical analysis by "Dough" of London who criticises a film he or she admits they "didn't actually pick the plot up" for?
Hey guys....c'mon!
The general theme expressed however that this is no horror masterpiece is pretty much right. Adapted from the original novel by Louis Chavance, a couple of rebellious youths decide to squat on the 13th floor of a city high-rise, which to their everlasting misfortune is now the virtual domain of the spirit of a businessman's son who was murdered there. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time!
Let down by script and direction somewhat, the upshot is a clumsy little affair with, forgive the pun, no soul!
