Entertaining enough thriller although you can’t help feeling it’d be better if they’d had the guts to really set this all in an elevator with five people. There was certainly enough characters and suspense, plus a death every 15 minutes or so to keep things lively. We would have gotten to know the characters better, and it would have been a lot spookier – especially not knowing what really was going on in the outside world, only hearing it through the intercom and from noises outside. Instead they keep cutting away to stuff outside. Decent acting; the direction is so-so. The story was provided by M Night Shamalan and like a lot of his work it’s extremely religious – in this case with a very Catholic bent.
