Title: Killer Elevator Movie Post by: Brock on June 18, 2003, 08:09:13 AM Last week I rented a new direct to video killer elevator movie called "The Shaft". It may not be the first killer elevator movie, but it does stand out because it's hilarious and stars Naomi Hott from "Mullholland Drive" and "the Ring". Definitely worth checking out, there's some classic lines and some great scenes (including an elevator-full of pregnant women giving birth at the same time and one of the funniest jump scenes ever.)
If only they'd called it "Hellevator" or "Killevator"... Title: Re: Killer Elevator Movie Post by: The Burgomaster on June 18, 2003, 08:21:19 AM Another killer elevator movie is THE LIFT. I believe it came out during the 1980s. I remember the tag line on the original VHS box cover: "For God's sake, take the stairs!" (And I'm not kidding).

Title: Re: Killer Elevator Movie Post by: Chadzilla on June 18, 2003, 01:40:13 PM They were both directed by Dick Maas, although he doesn't really consider it a remake. Why that is confuses me. I saw The Lift waaaaaay back in 1984 or so and really liked it. It had a few nifty moments. Haven't seen this one, but I'm looking forward to it. Should be worth at least a rental.

Title: Re: Killer Elevator Movie Post by: systemcr4sh on June 18, 2003, 02:29:30 PM Haha ash, thats kinda what I was thinking.
I own the first one, it has its moments. Plus I like to be able to point it out and be like "and THIS one is about a KILLER ELEVATOR!" Yeah Dick Maas didn't really like the way the first one turned out so he kinda did it again. I'd like to see if I can find it in any of the stores around here. Title: Blockbuster Post by: Mr_Vindictive on June 18, 2003, 02:57:54 PM Blockbuster actually carries this title. Check their website to see if your local store carries it.
Title: the Shaft Post by: Haze on June 20, 2003, 12:13:45 AM oddly, the shaft and the lift I believe have two different causes for the "killevator". former has ghosts I think and the second is technology... because technology is always evil at first. That is why DVDs are only popular now, the mass killing of tech geeks were just the first version of the eeeevil system.
Title: Re: Killer Elevator Movie Post by: Chopper on June 22, 2003, 01:08:24 PM i rented the Lift a while back. i remember fastfowarding through like 90% of it. i think it was a Dutch film too right? they must have been smoking some s**t when they made that one.
