Maas even subjects an elevator full of very pregnant women to a terrifying ride. of a character's leap off the observation deck. In between the dull investigative drivel, Maas delivers a few fun horror moments, including a spectacular elevator door decapitation and a fun bird's-eye P.O.V. Artisan has shamelessly redesigned the cover art to resemble The Ring, and to highlight the presence of star Naomi Watts, though who that kid on the cover is supposed to be is really anyone's guess, because he is certainly not in the movie I watched. FFFĭutch director Dick Maas has essentially remade his own 1983 film De Lift with 2001's The Shaft (originally entitled Down), about an evil elevator system that suddenly begins killing people in a fancy-schmancy skyscraper. An enemy that is determined to fight off any intruder looking for the dark secret that lurks inside the belly of the building. What at first looked like a routine job turns into a horrifying nightmare in which Mark has to face an enemy whose blood thirst is only met by it's unpredictability. When things get worse and death toll rises, The Government, fearing terrorists are involved, seal off the building. Together they try to unravel the secrets behind the mysterious behaviour of the elevator that seems to have a life of it's own.

He is joined by a female reporter, Jennifer, who is looking for a juicy story. After a gruesome and deadly incident, in which a blind man falls into the shaft and a security guard is decapitated, the police start an investigation. His investigation meets unexpected resistance and not everybody seems to be happy with his involvement. When the express elevators in the Millennium Building, one of New York's most famous landmarks, start to malfunction and behave in erratic ways, elevator mechanic Mark Newman is sent out to find the cause of the problems.
