I had a lot of fun with this one - they did a lot on the budget they had, and it sells well. The setting of the elevator gives everything a really claustrophobic and tense feeling. It was easy to get hooked on the struggles of the characters - they were all really likeable and well-acted. I especially liked Jacqi, the knife-wielding teen. She was badass, and I especially liked her dynamic with Mason, the criminal with a heart o' gold. Overall, a really solid, fun little zombie flick - definitely worth watching!

Claustrophobic and tense low-budget zombie movie
Really Fun Flick!
I love low budget zombie flicks. Just pure fun! It's clear they put a lot of love into it.
Remember when you were 5 and someone hid and jumped out at you?
Remember when you were 5 and someone hid and jumped out at you? That was scary! This movie is not. My only fear is that I would be trapped in an elevator with this group of bad actors and unable to open the door to welcome the zombies. Here's the first clue you find before the movie starts that let's you know how bad it's going to be. It's the tagline,'"As a zombie virus breaks out, one ragtag group of trapped elevator passengers must pull together for a fighting chance of survival against an infected rider and the clever horde that awaits them outside." "Ragtag?" Whenever you see 'ragtag' in a movie description made in the last 40 years, it's almost guaranteed to be a stinker. This movie is no exception. "Must pull together for a fighting chance" - clue number 2. Considering that the writer/writers thought this was clever and an emotional inducement to watch this tells you that the writing suffers along with the plot. I did start watching it. Fortunately I was distracted by phone calls, email, messages, and taking out the dogs to potty, so it is possible I missed something incredible. But I'd lay 10 to 1 odds I didn't and the dog's potty was more thrilling. This movie wouldn't deserve consideration by Rifftrax. It's not that it's so bad it's good; it's just bad.
