Down

2001 · 1h 51m · Horror, Mystery, Thriller

Skip it. 'Down' is a mid-2000s B-movie thriller with a gimmicky premise (killer elevator) that can't sustain tension or originality—it's basically "Final Destination" meets "The Poseidon Adventure" without the charm of either. Unless you're specifically hunting for obscure horror oddities, your time is better spent elsewhere.

Plot

After the elevators at a New York City skyscraper begin inexplicably malfunctioning, putting its passengers at risk, mechanic Mark Newman and reporter Jennifer Evans begin separate investigations. Newman gets resistance from superiors at his company, which manufactured the elevator, while additional elevator incidents cause several gruesome deaths. The police get involved and suspect that terrorists are responsible, but a far stranger explanation looms.

Director: Dick Maas

Cast: James Marshall, Naomi Watts, Eric Thal, Michael Ironside, Edward Herrmann
