    Evocative and Captivating
    A very strong film, and more than I was expecting for such a super low-budget production.

    Jack (James Parks) is an obnoxious gameshow host who lives a fancy lifestyle. One night, he finds himself held hostage in his building's elevator by a strange woman (Caroline Goodall). She ties him up and forces him to play a "gameshow" of her own, with torture porn results.

    Considering the majority of the film is set inside the elevator, it manages to sustain this as a suspenseful setting for its 85-minute runtime. The highlight of the film are the two lead performances; as sick and twisted as this woman's game is, just who is in the right and who is the wrong is left ambiguous, and our opinions on the two characters fluctuate throughout. And that's a credit to both actors.

    Burt Young also has a minor appearance in the film, though sadly he doesn't appear much until the last third.

    THE ELEVATOR takes a very basic thriller concept, but elevates it with good acting and a nice twist ending. It's a chance definitely worth taking.
