New Images Send You Inside the ‘Elevator’

Recently, I brought you news of an upcoming indie suspense movie, from Director Stig Svendsen, titled Elevator. Now, we finally get our first real glimpse into the suspenseful Elevator as I’ve recently been sent several images from the film.

Elevator is the story of 9 strangers trapped inside an elevator. The catch: one of them has a bomb that could go off at any minute. As these strangers are pushed to their limits, we watch to find out what each character is made of as the suspense mounts and the web of intrigue unravels. Elevator gives terrorism a new meaning and raises compelling questions about who the real criminals are, in a world where the powerful few can so easily manipulate the financial system at the expense of many.

You can check out the images below. More details on the film can be found in the previous announcement
