NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO SELECT SUBTITLES FOR "THE LIFT", THEY ARE NOT BURNED IN (English or HOH). USE THE COGWHEEL BOTTOM RIGHT ON THE PLAYER.
When an elevator in an office block starts murdering its occupants, a lift mechanic attempts to find the truth before more people get slaughtered.
You didn’t misread that. It’s a lift that kills people - and what a way for the legendary Dutch director Dick Maas to start his career, carving out his own unique path in cult cinema.
Not only does it feature a fabulous synth score and plenty of inventive ways for a metal box to brutally kill people, it also features one of the best taglines in 80s cinema: “Take the stairs! Take the stairs! For God’s sake, take the stairs!”
Screening in a double-bill with The Dick Maas Method.
