Customer Reviews

What, no elevator music?

Down (2001) AKA “The Shaft. “What goes up must come down.” I saw this critter as “Down,” like a Stephen King ditty. It starts very plausible, then turns strange, then downright spooky. You can pretty much tell what the movie will be about and how it will end. So, the fun comes from watching the different characters go through their experiences as they try to figure out what's going on with the elevators. Is it just poor maintenance and imagination? Is it a cabal of Luddites? The movie was made too close to 9-11. At least it is not the disaster formula with a scientist being kicked out for rocking the boat. Then again? I did not mind when the elevator consumed this one and that one, but did he have to take the little dog too?
