13º Andar

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.

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.

not really a comment but there seems to be a lot of comments here that refer to 13th floor from 1999 and not this movie

The 13th floor is a movie that will make you feel smart even if youre broccoli, cause even broccoli sees the plot twists up ahead. Don't get me wrong this wasn't a bad movie, it was well beyond that. This movie is supposed to be based on a novel that for some reason got critical acclaim or they wouldn't have made a movie out of it so I'm sure it's much different to the screenplay. In my opinion thats the only way to explain this flat, uninteresting, predictable, unemotional, laughable screenplay. The climax for most viewers will come at the half way mark in a very boring uninspired scene were the plot tries to sneak up on you like a tank rolling down a football field. The rest of the movie is just you laughing at the movie makers for giving you more and more pieces of the "BIG PICTURE" which you already know. By the time the movie is over, if you haven't walk out, you are left thinking how stupid does Roland Emerich think I really am. You know all those ____ for dumbies, well this is a who done it for dumbies only they should call it a he done it.

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.
