Though it certainly shows its lack of budget and can have problems at times, Elevator Game is an enjoyable horror movie.
Why do we create games that involve pissing off evil spirits? It seems like a bad idea to invoke the dead and call upon their attention. That goes double if the person playing the game is in a small room or metal box with closing doors. Yet — for one reason or another — people keep doing it anyway.
It isn’t a bad concept, especially for those aware of the real-world game and the mysteries behind it. That knowledge pre-establishes a creepy factor that can draw some interest to a film like this. Personally, the director pulled me in as well. Rebekah McKendry directed 2022’s, and I was hoping that some of that energy and entertaining charm would be transferred here. Especially so since the film seemed to be aimed at a younger adult audience.
An aspect of Elevator Game that’s easy to appreciate is the antagonist in the film, a ghostly apparition we don’t see much of for most of the hour and 34-minute runtime, but are given a full backstory on that works. We just need a better name for her than ‘The 5, an actual contortionist, which gives her movements and appearance an excellent visual fidelity that helps inspire the horror a smidge more. Her dimension, The Red World, seems intriguing, but we didn’t get to explore enough of it.
