Only thing worse than a bad horror film, is a horror film that's not scary.

If you paid to see this flick, I think it's fair to say you got the shaft.

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.

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

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
