Elevator Game
Directed by Rebekah McKendry
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.
A teen searches for his sister via a ritualistic game.
Cast: Gino Anania, Megan Best, Alec Carlos, Nazariy Demkowicz, Samantha Halas, Madison MacIsaac, Verity Marks, Liam Stewart-Kanigan

not really worth the watch
So. . . . uh kinda blew. The stories this movie takes inspiration from are executed far better.
This truly felt like a Lifetime Movie Network produced horror movie. Not one of their better ones either!
It was ok. It had really great jump scares and skin crawlingly creepy images. Unfortunately, the acting was God awful. Especially Chloe and Kris. I'm talking "booed out of auditions for a 30 second toothpaste ad" bad. It also over explained the scary thing. Part of why the elevator game is scary is how little info it gives. Who is the woman who gets in on the fifth floor? What's her deal? What does she do if you look at her? We don't know, and that's why she's scary. Giving her a backstory and making her just a standard vengeance ghost makes her explainable, and therefore less scary. However, they did a great job of making her look scary. The Red World too. With just a red filter and a cross slapped onto the sky, they made The Red World terrifying. I wish more of the movie took place there.
It was ok. It had great jump scares and really disturbing, skin crawlingly creepy images. Unfortunately, the acting was God awful. Especially Kris and Chloe. I'm talking "laughed out of an audition for a 30 second toothpaste ad" bad. I also feel that it fell into the classic horror movie mistake of over explaining the scary thing. Part kf what makes the elevator game so freaking scary is how little information is given
