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.

The final moments of Elevator Game are a disaster.

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.

Rated: 3/5

Geek Vibes Nation

What McKendry does for Seppala’s story is what you’d prefer out of a director; she manages to extract something memorable and attractive about something so simple as its premise to become, in a way, somewhat elevated above its surface value.

Rated: 7.5/10

The Geek Show (UK)

Elevator Game is haunted and hindered by strained and unnatural dialogue, and despite its relatively brisk running time of just over 90 minutes, the film suffers from lethargic pacing.

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

Rated: 2/4

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

Es una historia que empieza con buen pie pero a partir de la mitad va perdiendo interés. Pasa de ser algo interesante a algo caótico y sin razón.

Lenta, predecible, barata, en ningún momento genera miedo ni empatía. Así y todo es una película de terror llevable para un servicio de streaming y se puede ver durante una hora y cuarto, pero los últimos 10 minutos son directamente desastrosos.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

O filme é lento, cansativo, roteiro fraco, personagens sem carismas, personagens chatos, clichê de forma ruim, maquiagem extremamente mal feita, nenhum personagem chega a ser cativante, 90 minutos de filme que parecem ser 3 horas de filme, final péssimo, história da antagonista sem nexo, uma desculpa qualquer sem lógica, sem fundamentos, fotografia ruim, atuações péssimas, filme nao causa medo, nao causa suspense, mistério ou horror, eu nao indico esse filme, uma hora e meia da minha vida que nao voltam mais.
