Based on the online phenomenon of the same name, ELEVATOR GAME follows socially awkward teenager Ryan, who ingratiates himself into a group of recent high school graduates that run an online web series debunking urban legends. But Ryan has a secret: his sister disappeared months earlier, and he believes they -- and a dangerous online challenge called 'The Elevator Game' -- were responsible. To play the game, you must ride the elevator in a specific sequence, invoking a supernatural creature called 'The 5th Floor Woman'. In an attempt to gain more information as to the whereabouts of his sister, Ryan persuades the group to play the game once more, and risk unleashing the most fearsome consequences imaginable.

This movie is watchable, and has some decent things going for it, including some decent scares, but I felt some of the acting was relatively poor and cringeworthy and the story ends on a very unsatisfying note, feeling as if half of the story was cut. Some of the writing also makes very little sense, and needed more fleshing out. The premise is good, but again, I feel way more could have been done with the idea.

watchable, just. Formula shocks and a few poorly drawn characters.

Its schlocky hooks got in me for the first half or so and has some shockingly good scary imagery once it gets moving, but when it comes time to take itself a little more seriously, it fumbles the bag so hard.

Poor writing, acting, and execution, Elevator Game leaves an interesting concept on the ground floor. Shout out to Madison MacIsaac, who was the only likable character.

Austin Chronicle

It's a flicking of the switch that transitions Elevator Game from a fun comedy-horror for its first half into a ghoulish chiller for its closing act.

Like an elevator itself, Elevator Game is a functional machine that provides an instantly forgettable ride.

Strong Female Antagonist

Though the film suffers from an excess of harsh humor, the story of college students riding up and down in an elevator turns out to be surprisingly fun

Rebecca Johnson

Film Focus Online

It fails to frighten, the script needs some work, the score thumping through the background sounds like you're playing a children's video game and it has a certain level of cheese that will turn off plenty of viewers.

Rated: 1.5/5

Fat Guys at the Movies

An occasionally effective spin on a relatively new legend, though it has some real rough spots in writing and acting.
