Early on in Elevator Game, a character says their YouTube fans will not think a twenty minute video set in an elevator would be very interesting. Please tell me the cast and crew were self aware… Elevator Game posits an … Continue reading
It’s amazing we can’t get more films like this… a great movie playing in a familiar sandbox. There are so many cheapo horror flicks with rinse and repeat ideas that accomplish nothing. This flick shows you can do it all … Continue reading
