Deadlocked

The zombie movie trend has been beaten to DEATH,and this is just another so so zombie flick. It has a couple of good jump scares,and the story is OK at best. The police officer could use a little bit of polishing on his acting skills...actually the best actor in the film is Sophie Giberson. I don't think it's higher than a five star rating (at least in my opinion) but it's a good way to blow an hour and twenty minutes if you have nothing else to do. Toodles.

Low-budget doesn't have to mean bad.

But this ain't good. Maybe it's a student film? (There is an actress, who plays "Olivia" and she's been in a few films. She was okay...not great, but good enough.)

Scripting/dialogue *really* needed work--stilted and unbelievable. The acting was wooden. The premise was promising, combining the tenseness of a zombie outbreak with the claustrophobic atmosphere of being stuck in an elevator. (I've actually experienced being stuck in an elevator with several other people during the height of summer, for a few hours...coincidentally, in a similar type of building. We didn't win any awards either :-D )

It's entertaining in the same sense as watching a newscast covering a riot is--you're shocked it's happening, wonder what *will* happen because it looks pretty bad, but can still wander away from watching it to do other things...and you may peek back just to see how it all ends.

It makes decent background noise, but not much else. Don't think I will be finishing it.

Remember when you were 5 and someone hid and jumped out at you? That was scary! This movie is not.

My only fear is that I would be trapped in an elevator with this group of bad actors and unable to open the door to welcome the zombies.

Here's the first clue you find before the movie starts that let's you know how bad it's going to be.

It's the tagline,'"As a zombie virus breaks out, one ragtag group of trapped elevator passengers must pull together for a fighting chance of survival against an infected rider and the clever horde that awaits them outside."

"Ragtag?" Whenever you see 'ragtag' in a movie description made in the last 40 years, it's almost guaranteed to be a stinker. This movie is no exception. "Must pull together for a fighting chance" - clue number 2.

Considering that the writer/writers thought this was clever and an emotional inducement to watch this tells you that the writing suffers along with the plot.

I did start watching it. Fortunately I was distracted by phone calls, email, messages, and taking out the dogs to potty, so it is possible I missed something incredible. But I'd lay 10 to 1 odds I didn't and the dog's potty was more thrilling.

This movie wouldn't deserve consideration by Rifftrax. It's not that it's so bad it's good; it's just bad.

Considering it is a super-low budget film, i think it is very good. Good acting, good script. If you start watching it, you won't be able to stop until the end.

Let's cut to the chase, this is no hidden gem...actors reading off cue cards. ever seen a dubbed movie where the dub voices are out of sync..its not a dubbed movie though, it's living wooden planks talking in an elevator, i think the elevator is more professional, check out the cops dialogue and uniform oh dear. ever seen Greg Sestero in the 2003 The Room, or an ed wood movie, this is not a so bad it's good though.
