The Elevator Game – Watch the trailer for the new horror movie from Rebekah McKendry

ELEVATOR GAME – Still 1

Based on the online phenomenon of the same name, ELEVATOR GAME follows socially awkward teenager Ryan, who ingratiates himself into a group of recent high school graduates that run an online web series debunking urban legends. But Ryan has a secret: His sister disappeared months earlier, and he believes they – and a dangerous online challenge called ‘The Elevator Game’ – were responsible. To play the game, you must ride the elevator in a specific sequence, invoking a supernatural creature called ‘The 5th Floor Woman’. In an attempt to gain more information as to the whereabouts of his sister, Ryan persuades the group to play the game once more, and risk unleashing the most fearsome consequences imaginable.

The film is directed by Rebekah McKendry (Glorious), from a screenplay by Travis Seppala. It stars Gino Anania, Verity Marks, Alec Carlos, Nazariy Demkowicz, Madison MacIsaac, Liam Stewart-Kanigan, and Megan Best.

Director Rebekah McKendry said, “It was several years ago when I first read about ‘The Elevator Game’ online, and I was immediately intrigued by the rules, curse, and ‘The 5th Floor Woman’. For me, this well-known internet legend was an exciting and chilling entrance into a modern-day ghost story. But if you want to open the door to the other side, you must follow all the rules. Go to the floors in order, don’t open your eyes, and whatever you do – don’t speak to her. Now let’s start by going to 4.”

ELEVATOR GAME Will Stream on Shudder on September 15th.
