Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Only thing worse than a bad horror film, is a horror film that's not scary.

Reggie S Wow, a horror movie that isn't scary. It's the first time I've seen Naomi Watts in a movie and also the last. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Shon R Wow. Just wow. Did Naomi get paid for this flick? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Audience Member Il materiale per creare un prodotto adrenalinico ed originale ci sarebbe; l'ascensore è da sempre uno dei luoghi più claustrofobici ed ostici da affrontare in caso di guasto; tanto da essere teatro di diversi thriller horror negli anni a seguire. Purtroppo però la scelta è di elaborare la trama al di fuori; mischiando teorie incomprensibili con personaggi poco interessanti. Il risultato è un film di azione con tinte thriller che non trova una teoria solida su cui basarsi ma che si limita a procedere per assurdo, senza mai convincere e senza mai esaltare. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member LOL, okay so you have to go into this movie knowing what you're in for. First off, this is NOT a horror or suspense film, it is clearly a comedy. Probably unintentionally, but it's still definitely a comedy. Is it good? No... is it hilarious? Yes. 1. dialog is just strange, completely off, and for some reason most of the non-lead characters have their voices dubbed. 2. Seems to have a big budget, and some fairly good actors, yet somehow, they all seemed to forget how to act in this movie. 3. Naomi Watts looks hot AF (this alone makes it worth watching) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review sean s Artificial Intelligence Elevator with a grudge. Three famous characters made it into this one. It was ok and passed the time barely. Ha. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is considered a horror movie, but it doesn't cause any fear and the plot is too boring/predictable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
