This listing is for the standard edition 4k UDH/Blu-ray Combo. The limited edition slipcover was limited to 3,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.

Description

On a Friday evening, four people board the elevator in an office building. After it gets stuck, they soon realize that their cries for help go unheeded. Desperate, they decide to free themselves on their own and climb out through a hatch. When their lives are in great danger, a fight breaks out and the situation escalates completely. With every additional minute in this claustrophobic narrowness, the veil of superficiality lifts and reveals a glimpse into the human abyss that is much deeper than the elevator shaft beneath their feet.

    Elevator thriller

    I wouldn't do much better than these folks if I was stuck in an elevator tbh. Excellent 4k transfer, and a very tense and taut thriller.

    Gorgeous transfer and packaging

    Have now watched this twice and am glad I risked a blind buy on it - thrilling, beautiful to look at, a pleasure to watch each time and once I expect to lend to friends. The slipcover is a beaut as well.
