Directed by Rigoberto Castaneda. Written by Ed Dougherty. Starring Amber Tamblyn, Armie Hammer and Aidan Gillen.
Plot: three people get stuck in an elevator and then it’s revealed that one of them is a whack job.
The three people stuck in the elevator are Claudia (a student who lives with her grandmother), Karl (a doctor with a young daughter) and Tommy (a former drug addict). Unfortunately, I can’t say much more without giving it all away, but I kind of want to give it away, so here goes.
Karl is a crazy person who decides to “take control” of the elevator situation as though it needs a leader or something. He steals from the two of them, he crushes Tommy’s leg and even eventually stabs him in the neck. It really pissed us off too, that it made us like Tommy so much just to stab him in the neck.
It’s got a good cast and good effects, but it isn’t at all rewatchable. And from a psychological standpoint, even though Karl threatens to rape Claudia, I’m not sure he could have gotten off with her because he wasn’t able to cut her up or anything and that seems to be his M.O.
Anyway, it wasn’t a bad movie, it was just very run-of-the-mill. Although, DJ didn’t even like it that much. So while I suggest maybe a one time viewing, DJ thinks you should skip it.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
