El piso 13

The 13th Floor is more of a thriller than a horror as it contains virtually no horror elements at all. So all horror fans should avoid it unless you can tolerate a simple thriller.

The plot is very simple indeed, and takes a bit too long to reach the conclusion. I actually quite enjoyed the basic storyline, and thought that the cheesy romance between the rebel girl and the boring older guy was sweet. I even felt a twinge if sadness when he got murdered. When it boils down to it though, The 13th Floor is just far too boring. It had potential but unfortunately played down the supernatural elements that could have made it interesting.

Don't bother seeking this out, but if you find an old VHS really cheap, it will look good in your collection because the artwork on the Medusa label is quite cool.

A dark and terrible secret lurks on the 13th floor of a plush city office block,where a supernatural curse has brought disaster to anyone who rents it.A mysterious 'presence' has driven business to ruin,made office machinery break down and created a deadly lifeforce of its own in the electrical system.The tortured soul of an innocent boy who was cruelly murdered many years before is lying in wait for the moment of revenge."The 13th Floor" is easily one of the worst horror films I have ever seen.The film is extremely boring and there is no gore nor suspense.The special effects are incredibly cheesy and the acting is horrible.Why such piece of crap is widely distributed and some Italian horror movies are completely unavailable is beyond me.1 out of 10.

Watching this small Aussie horror in 1989 on TV, I had stayed clear that was dealing in a lowest budge with a exiting premise indeed, The 13th Floor set on Sidney didn't gets fire, although is far away to be bad as some reviewers implied, aside the mismatches a fresh concept in some points overcome the weak ones, let the audience stay up during the offer, the main plot in a quick overview is about a young girl witnessed his political power father Robert Thompson (Tony Blackett) electrocute wittingly a young boy in front of his father about to be murder aftermaths over a missing money at 13th floor of a building under construction.

Twelve years later the already grow up girl Heather Thompson (Lisa Hensley) becomes a nightmare for his father, drugs, bad companies and so on, to worsen stolen documents that proves his father carried out many deaths including the little boy electrocuted on the jinxed 13th floor on the building, so Thompson hires an old detective of unorthodox way aiming for recover the documents by all means, meanwhile Heather hole up with a girl in the empty 13th floor where strangely appear an electrified entity coming from electrical cabinet.

Among the characters some stand out as the moronic caretaker Bert (Jeff Truman) also the odd John Burke (Tim McKenzie) on romantic interest on Heather, rouse up a jealous of Rebecca (Miranda Otto) hinting a previous les.bian relationship between them, without forget the janitor Nick (Paul Hunt) and the fancy-pants and dainty Alistair (Adam Cook), it can't be overlooked at all.

Thanks for reading

Resume:

First watch: 1989 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-Youtube / Rating: 5.5.

Its clear that many people didn't like this movie, but the script is pretty X Files, although its Australian and done on a shoestring budget.

The 13th Floor is an off kilter Aussie movie about a woman who saw her corrupt father murder a man and his son, and who has gone off the rails as a result. She is living off grid with a couple of friends as some kind of political group who scrounge money and squat.

The father is looking to track down his wayward daughter using paid for thugs, however it appears that someone from the fathers past is looking for revenge.

If you enjoy obscure Aussie movies from the 80's then this is worth a watch, it dares to stray from the Hollywood cheery narrative and cheery ending which will annoy some. I would even go far as to say the main character isn't even that sympathetic, but there is a definite underlying humour to the movie and it is at least a fairly novel story.

This isn't for your average viewer who wants revenge movie where everything is wrapped up nicely at the end. But if you want something unusual that could easily have been an X Files movie, I would recommend it.

"The 13th Floor" was made in 1988 and was directed by Chris Roache, and starred Kylie Clare and other non-stars. From what I gather, it is horror type movie about the ghost of a murdered kid. This is not the movie that some of you are reviewing on this page.

"The Thirteenth Floor" was made in 1999 and directed by Josef Rusnak, starred Craig Bierko and Gretchin Mol. It was about a team of business men who create a living, breathing virtual reality of the 1930's. Its a murder mystery. THIS is the movie that some of you are reviewing on this page. And Roland Emmerich was a producer on this movie.

Hope that clears up some of the trouble.
