The Lift (1983) – Dutch Killer Elevator Movie

You can stream the entire movie right now, for free:

Plot:

A lift begins displaying some erratic behavior, like trapping some party goers and nearly suffocating them, and decapitating a security guard. Felix, the technician from the lift company, can’t find anything wrong with the circuitry. When he and a nosy reporter begin asking questions of the lift company’s electronics partner (Rising Sun Electronics) his boss puts him on a leave of absence. A subsequent visit to a professor leads them to believe that some evil experiments are being conducted with MICROCHIPS. – Ed Sutton

It has a great poster too.

I love the tagline: “Take the stairs, take the stairs. For God’s sake, take the Stairs!!”

The Lift was directed by Dick Maas who also did the 2010 killer Santa Claus movie, Saint.
