aka Down
Dick Maas reprises his directorial role for the American remake of De Lift, a twisted little Dutch sci-fi/horror about a killer elevator. The original was surprisingly captivating and despite the godawful dubbing, had a delightfully sick sense of humor. The American-ized retelling actually attracted a decent cast (Naomi Watts, Michael Ironside, Dan Hedaya, Ron Perlman) but the quaint little source story is transformed into an over-elaborate action film. It's sad since the first half essentially captured the same dark humor of the original.
