- QuizThe newspaper clipping in Jane Redding's wallet says:
Neil Redding, Tragic Victim of Collapsed Economy. By Samantha Halbert, Cleveland Spectator.
Neil Redding, 76, was pronounced dead yesterday, the apparent victim of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The body was discovered at 6:20 PM, by his wife, Jane Redding. She told investigating officers that her husband had become increasingly depressed after learning that their life savings was lost by a New York investment firm. Investigating officers ruled out any suggestion of foul play, and determined the death was suicide. The wound was caused by a U.S. Army service revolver once owned by ther son, Jeffery Redding. Jeffery Redding died in the US invasion of Iraq. Ms. Redding said, "After Jeffery's death, my husband found it hard to regain his footing. When we lost our money, it was too much." Ms. Redding said that a memorial service would be held for close friends at a date yet to be determined.

Recensione in evidenza
ELEVATOR has a decent set-up: a group of characters are trapped in a stuck lift, and one of them holds a secret that's going to put them into a dangerous situation. It's a clear copy of the recent Shyamalan-produced horror movie DEVIL, except this one's non-supernatural. The box proclaims that it's the film that DEVIL could have been, but that's a downright lie.
Because ELEVATOR is a disappointment. Sure, the set-up is fine and the character mix is okay. You can't really fault the acting, either, even if most of the cast are unrecognisable aside from THE FLY's John Getz playing a typically jerkish character. Everyone puts in solid, if unspectacular performances, and I did like Joey Slotnick as the loud-mouthed comedian despite his character's brash, irritating nature.
The problem with this is the script. It's fair to say that nothing really happens in ELEVATOR, and there's certainly nothing here to make this unmissable viewing. I can think of two good, suspenseful sequences in the entire movie, and the rest of it is just endless build-up leading to a pay-off that never arrives. I actually enjoyed the first half more than the second, purely because of the expectation value. The ending is particularly disappointing and lightweight.
This should have been much better than it is, because Stig Svendsen does a good job of shooting within the claustrophobic confines of his small-scale set and there are all the right ingredients; it's just that they don't amount to much in the end. And the incredibly irritating girl in it should have been killed; it was criminal that she never got punished for her daft actions.
