Thom says: “While this is from the Chlotrudis mailer offerings I get the feeling it hasn’t been seen by many subscribers as it didn’t even have 5 votes on Imdb. (By the way I was thrilled to see that Chlotrudis Awards are included in the Awards section for actors, nothing to do with this film, but I felt I might forget to mention it at a later date)!!! Anyhoo, this film is about people trapped on stalled elevators and after having high hopes I was totally crushed by the lack of interest the film generated. I’ve seen quite a few trapped–elevator films, usually in the horror genre, and this doesn’t match-up to any of them. The people aren’t remotely interesting, the situations are forced, the dialogue trite, and the resolutions shaky. Nearly a mumblecore mess. Some of the acting was decent. Imdb says the film is still in production but I fail to see how it can be improved. 1 1/2 cats”
