ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

seerzack Before I start I just want to point out that this is my first movie review ever but when I saw this movie I was so stunned so I just had to review this little masterpiece. The movie was made on almost no budget and there was almost no special effects (exept a little blood)and it's only 20 minutes long but still it's an amazing movie. I'm not going to lie and say it's the best movie I have ever seen cause it's not but it's by far the best short movie I have ever seen so far in my entire life even though I always thought short movies was a bad thing this movie absolutely changes that thing. It's about two peoples in an elevator called Ellen and Ben (Vickie Papavs and Bruce McFee) that wants to go to the lowest floor on the building. But when they almost reached there destination a madman covered in blood called Hank (David Hewlett) shouts hold the elevator! He enters the elevator and he pushes the button to the highest floor. Ben says: What the f**k are you doing? Hank says that they gotta get to the highest floor on the building and barricade themselves and that the monster from Alien are killing every one outside the building. And thats basically the plot of this movie. it's very simple but then again it's a short movie and Vincenzo Natali the director of this movie pulled it of pretty good. But the must important part that makes this movie so good is David Hewlett's great acting. 8/10 A MUST SEE!

dimmer77 this is still one of my favorite short films.... it's so weird. you can watch it over and over and it's entertaining every time!! i don't know if was supposed to be funny, but these actors do such a great job of tearing into each other! check out 'cube' as well... done by the same director.

Sky-35 After watching the excellent movie, Cube, I decided to research about the director, Vincenzo Natali. I found out about the short film "Elevated." I watched it on the Independent Film Channel late one night and found many similarities to Cube. It starts out with two people in an elevator. They're interrupted by a blood-covered man entering the elevator claiming that there is an "Alien-like" monster outside of the elevator and he insists that they should go up, to the top floor. It has the same creepiness and originality as Cube, which makes it an excellent 25 minutes. I do wish that the director would have made it into a long movie, making the 25 minutes the beginning and then the rest of the movie about the monster and the other people in the building. But then again, having it stay a short film leaves a lot to the imagination, which I cannot say is true about a lot of other movies these days. I give it ***1/2 out of ****

Puke Bag Having seen this short in a film class, it is one of the better shorts that I've seen in quite some time. Blending dark comedy, horror, and suspense, it plays it all up to exhilarating effect. Definitely a worthy calling card, especially considering that it was shot on 16mm and blown up to 35mm (looks very, very slick).
