Ben and Ellen use the elevator in their building when all of a sudden, Hank, the blood covered security man of the building rushes into the elevator, claiming that there is a dangerous alien-like creature in the building.
Sinekatalog’s take
A tight horror short in an elevator where a bloodied guard warns of a creature. Claustrophobic and clever with limited means. A good shot of dread for genre fans.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
