Again with this tacky social media challenge/investigator horror movie formula. Shudder wiffed on this one. The setup in the first few minutes was probably the best part, and that's not saying much. The next 30-45 minutes of a bunch of social media hucksters banter back and forth is quite dull. I was not interested in anything they had to say, and no interest watching them stumble through their pitiful plight on their devices. Sometime after that we get a frightening scene, more pointless dialogue, and then we get to watch someone sift through web pages for a while.. and then I think I dozed off. I gave it a star for some ok-but-sparse tense scenes, but I couldnt come up with anything else worth mentioning. Bottom of the barrel stuff for Shudder flicks.

This is based on some kind of urban legend, being about an elevator, after pushing certain buttons to go to certain floors in the building, goes to another dimension along with some kind of entity on the fifth floor that I do not understand fully. The movie Elevator Game (2023) is not good, and boring to watch where I was not invested in what was going on and did not care about any of the characters doing these dumb things involving the elevator. Also, the movie was not that scary, and the entity was standard, especially when it came to killing these characters. The acting was that good with the characters being annoying and hard to watch, and one of them having this tacked on story about his sister being in this other dimension that I did not care about. The characters did this show where they play creepy games in creepy locations, and I could care less about what they were doing, which made me question if this should have been turned into a movie or not considering how small of a concept the Elevator Game is. Plus, the rest of the movie is this entity somehow killing them because of them using the elevator in a certain way, and people being stupid when it comes to using the elevator when playing the game. The entity looked a bit creepy, and it killed people in gory brutal ways, but it still felt like a standard demon like entity like everything else we have seen before. The rules of the game are straight forward on how you are supposed to follow them, but the characters will intentionally not follow them which leads to them getting killed in a gory way. The ending of the movie brings things full circle by having other people play the game, and standard terrible things happen to them where I could care less about. Elevator Game (2023) is not worth your time; it was not scary with the characters being idiotic to watch, the demon like entity was standard, and the concept of the Elevator Game was not used that well. I would highly recommend not to watch this and watch something that is at least worth watching; this concept is interesting, but it did not need to be turned into a movie like this where it is boring because of how slow it can be. Do not watch this and watch something else.

Here we go again, another movie about some teenagers with a successful YouTube channel or something similar and they try a dumb challenge for clicks and have to deal with the consequences. I don't mind watching movies that have been done 100 times before but I think they should at least bring something new or exciting to the table to differentiate them from others. The Elevator Game has none of that. You know what you are getting before you even watch the movie. Get into an elevator press a certain amount of numbers in a certain order and close your eyes and you will encounter the 5th-Floor-Woman. The movie is not completely terrible and the evil spirit does look creepy at times, especially in one scene where she is chasing our protagonist Ryan. But then again some effects looked pretty bad, for example the blood. Also you have these cardboard characters and definitely some questionable acting with a weird sense of humor to it. All in all I think this is a skippable movie but if you like these kind of things you might find something to enjoy. [5,0/10]

This movie had an uphill battle to climb, as it would have taken some really amazing writing to make this concept work. We're talking about a premise in which we have to watch characters ride an elevator up and down. My opinion is that the filmmakers just wanted a movie that would make a little money, so they only put in effort to produce something kids might be drawn to. I wasn't hoping for an all-time great cinematic experience, but I did hope it would at least be mildly entertaining. Instead, I thought the movie was very bland, overly serious, and not much fun. I also felt very unsatisfied by the ending, which I thought was the laziest part of this entire undercooked film. Not recommended.

The movie started off well-- it had a decent setup, acting wasn't terrible, and seemed well made. As the movie went on though, it just kind of kept getting worse. It had some stereotypical characters, but it looked like they were going to have some sort of depth. Nope! That all kind of went out the window about 20 minutes into the movie. They're all one-note and just kind of there. Then they get to explaining the origins of the elevator game and why everything is happening and it's just...nonsensical to say the least. The game itself and ghost and some of her mannerisms just all clash with each other. It makes zero sense. They just thought things like "hey, it would be cool if there's a creepy red world" and "what if the ghost walked like the ring girl?" and "ooo and what if she hums this nursery rhyme randomly about elevators?" It's all just kind of dumb and did nothing for the movie. Skip it.
