Reviews:
“Terrible Acting. Terrible writing- the poor actors had nothing to work with… not that it would’ve made much difference because I’m pretty sure none of these people have much talent […] Nothing that happens makes any sense at all.” 1 out of 10, Applescruff
“I don’t usually expect much from the special effects in these movies, but they’re bad enough in this one to disappoint even me. The acting is mediocre. The direction is not great. The writing is poor. And then there’s the confusion about the title.” 1 out of 10, Cadykay
“Chrissie Wunna always turns in a steamy performance and always makes films we want to see. For some gratuitous and creepy Friday night fun, see The Elevator.” Zizi Emporium for B Movies [click the link for the full “review”]
