      Alan Jones Starburst Once outside the claustrophobic lift environment suspense is diffused as pure soap-opera takes over. Aug 1, 2022 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film There were a lot of bad horror films made in this era but The Lift is in a different class, and loveably so. Rated: 1/5 Nov 12, 2021 Full Review Adam Lippe Examiner.com Maas gives us a whole bunch of family strife and then doesn't resolve it. The elevator is far more important to him so when that business is done, so is the movie. Oct 4, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

      Cees T Low budget. Original villain. Trailer spoils most of the movie. 6.3/10 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/17/23 Full Review daniele u Carino, ma speravo morisse più gente. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Corny, predictable, Maybe. But very fun Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review delysid d I am scared of the evil elevator! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/23/18 Full Review Audience Member Maas has a well-developed sense of irony as well as a knack for the unusual sight gag. Film has echoes of Brian De Palma, but at bottom it's no imitation but an original Maas. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member un ascensor asesino.
