Take A Thrilling ‘Elevator’ Ride This August
A group of people get the shaft in the worst way imaginable when Elevator rides onto DVD August 21 from Inception Media Group.
“In this Hitchcock-esque, white-knuckle thriller, nine strangers are stuck in an elevator on the 49th floor of an upscale Manhattan high-rise … and one of them has a ticking bomb! But who … and why?
The rising star TV news reporter … building security guard … or soon-to-retire millionaire CEO with his granddaughter? The bond trader … struggling comedian … pregnant office worker and her successful boyfriend …or the elderly widow?
With no escape, each will do anything to survive. Desperation and panic grow as help fails to arrive and people slowly unmask – revealing racial tension, financial scandal, scorned lovers and revenge – with an unthinkable horror becoming the only solution!“
Starring John Getz (The Social Network, Zodiac), Joey Slotnick (Hollow Man, Blast From the Past, Twister, ABC’s Alias), Anita Briem, (Journey to the Center of the Earth, Showtime’s The Tudors), Tony-, Emmy- and Golden Globe-winner Shirley Knight (ABC’s Desperate Housewives, Mall Cop, As Good as It Gets), Waleed Zuaiter (Sex and the City 2, The Men Who Stare at Goats), Devin Ratray (Home Alone 1 & 2, Surrogates), Tehmina Sunny (Children of Men) and Amanda and Rachel Pace (Showtime’s Weeds, ABC’s Private Practice).
Elevator is presented in widescreen with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and 5.1 digital sound.
Get ready for double the fun, protagonists, and body count when Ready or Not 2: Here I Come explodes on streaming next week.
Just in time for the fireworks, the sequel makes its streaming debut on Hulu and Disney+ on July 2.
Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett are back, along with Samara Weaving, for more hide and slay mayhem.
Picking up moments after the all-out attack from the Le Domas family in the first Ready or Not movie, Grace (Weaving) discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game — and this time with her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.
That means a higher body count and even more explosive carnage. Just how much? A whopping 325 gallons worth, the directors previously told BD.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood, Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, Varun Saranga, and Daniel Beirne also star.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “More is more in Ready or Not 2. Bigger stakes, larger playing field, a higher (and more gruesome) body count, and even double the protagonists. It’s all designed to deliver maximum crowd-pleasing fun.”
The horror-comedy sequel is written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.
