Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Manthast Absolutely amazing

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

liamhorne-961-700606 there are some good things about this film like the flash backs which build really help you get to know the characters and also help to break up the film as unlike Phone booth I don't believe this film would have worked as just being set in the same confined space for over an hour. The tension is also well acted. Lastly but possibly not as important is the theme tune at the beginning which I loved and thought worked really well with the images on the opening titles. Now for the bad points the amount of time that they were stuck in the lift was a little unrealistic and ending also seemed a little bit rushed. Overall though a good film and an OK way to pass some spare time you might have.

MovieGuy01 I quite enjoyed watching this film. it involves three different people. The film begins with a woman lying dead in the bathtub, having slit her wrists. The film then moves on to show Karl (Aiden Gillen)at his wife's graveside, where his sister in law brings his daughter to see him. Karl asks his sister in law if she is able to look after his daughter for another day while he sorts out his apartment. He leaves his house next thing, he receives a phone call from the hospital,asking him if he would be able to come in and help with a patient. he tells them no and says that he has something important to do for his daughter. A girl called Claudia (Amber Tamblyn) is at the hospital she is very worried about her grandmother's condition. A doctor appears and tells her that her grandmother has survived the surgery. Claudia then leaves the hospital and gets on a bus.Karl arrives at his apartment building and helps some elderly women leave the building. As he holds the door open, Claudia walks in and waits for the elevator to come. the pair get in the lift, and the doors start to close, then next another man called Tommy pushes the door open. As the lift is going up it gets stuck between floors, all three of the start panicking Karl and Tommy start causing an argument, where Karl punches Tommy, and Claudia has to break them up. Back in the lift, the three of them realise that due to the building being renovated, and people are on holiday, so they are the only ones inside the building. This was a good horror movie with a lot of suspense at times

Jackson Booth-Millard I'm not sure about the film's title being a good choice, but this horror thriller enters Creep-like territory taking an ordinary situation you would find yourself, and turning it on its head. Basically three strangers with different backgrounds and reasons to be somewhere enter an ordinary elevator in a building under a little construction, and it ends up stalling. Claudia (The Ring's Amber Tamblyn) is trying to get to her dying grandmother in hospital. Karl (Shanghai Knight's Aidan Gillen) is a husband and father seemingly just wanting to get back home to his family. Tommy (Armie Hammer) is a young man trying to get back to his girlfriend Francesca (Katie Stuart) with an abusive father (Memento's Mark Boone Junior). It should be mentioned you see all this in flashbacks as they are trapped. As the hours pass by they are all getting concerned that no-one knows they are trapped and coming to help them, so they do try everything they can to get out or attention. It was inevitable one of them would crack and go over the edge, and it is Karl, and you find out the real reason he wants to get out is because he has a dead body he needs to get rid of before his sister-in-law and daughter see it. So eventually he makes sure that Claudia and Tommy know he is in charge, and I guessed it was going to be Tommy with all the arm-cutting and drugs. Tommy is victim to Karl's wrath, but Claudia eventually manages to escape with very bad injuries, and Karl falls to his death inside the elevator, oh, and Claudia's grandmother died before she could see her. Also starring Eloisa Bennetts as Nikky. Signs is a film I can think of that is a little ruined with flashbacks placed in tense scenes, but I can make exceptions. The flashbacks of Gillen's sinister character, especially the torture scene with cutting and salt combined with rape, is horrific viewing, but that just makes it all the more watchable, I was surprised I liked it actually on instinct. Good!

veritaspure some people apparently just want to bash some relative unknowns for personal reasons, others want to bash famous people, neither give work a fair viewing. I read the first comments, wonder if his screenplays have been roundly rejected, or what his ax to grind is.the movie's use of flash backs was quite good, the casting was superb visually, beautiful women. the editing was economical. Itd successfully created an entire world. the photography was great. the acting was superb. every moment believable with tumultuous emotional inner lives. it's sleeper worth seeing. I cannot comment on the script versus the finished film. But he took a tired concept and made it work most excellently.
