So, The Elevator is a 2023 thriller that really plays with tension in such a confined space. The entire film takes place in, you guessed it, an elevator. Two guys, both carrying whatever baggage they have, start off kind of civil but it quickly spirals. The pacing is interesting; you feel the time stretch as they go back and forth, it really breeds this paranoia. The atmosphere is tense, really claustrophobic, and I have to say, their performances carry a lot of weight. There's not much in the way of flashy effects, but the practical stuff they do really emphasizes the raw emotion and desperation. It stands out for its minimalism and how it kind of examines human behavior under pressure. It's a unique watch for sure.
