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.

It's a flicking of the switch that transitions Elevator Game from a fun comedy-horror for its first half into a ghoulish chiller for its closing act.

What McKendry does for Seppala’s story is what you’d prefer out of a director; she manages to extract something memorable and attractive about something so simple as its premise to become, in a way, somewhat elevated above its surface value.

Elevator Game is haunted and hindered by strained and unnatural dialogue, and despite its relatively brisk running time of just over 90 minutes, the film suffers from lethargic pacing.

Like an elevator itself, Elevator Game is a functional machine that provides an instantly forgettable ride.

Though the film suffers from an excess of harsh humor, the story of college students riding up and down in an elevator turns out to be surprisingly fun

The script isn't original; it draws on other movies, series, and internet themes. The acting is quite weak—reminiscent of early-career film students. There are no real redeeming qualities to the film, perhaps aside from the occasional line of dialogue. The ending is predictable, but since the characters aren't engaging, it didn't really matter.

Why did they give Chloe such bad hair? The movie wasn’t great but that hair was a crime.

Es una historia que empieza con buen pie pero a partir de la mitad va perdiendo interés. Pasa de ser algo interesante a algo caótico y sin razón.

Not bad to watch at home, I mean It's pretty obvious and zero scary but could be worse
