The Embarrassing Game.
What a shower of crap. Just sat through this childish supposed to be, wanna be, horror film and hate myself for doing so.
It's like an episode Goosebumps,only with worse acting and less scares.
With a very low budget and very dislikeable characters,you just end up disliking everything about it.
I sometimes wonder why these films are even made because who in their right minds would enjoy making or watching stuff like this?
So anyway they've taken a game I'm sure everyone's heard about and actually had a chance to make something that could have been at least watchable. However they failed badly, buy just making a teen type cringefest.
If I were you I'd avoid this like the plague.

Boring, lifeless and dull characters
Again with this tacky social media challenge/investigator horror movie formula. Shudder wiffed on this one. The setup in the first few minutes was probably the best part, and that's not saying much. The next 30-45 minutes of a bunch of social media hucksters banter back and forth is quite dull. I was not interested in anything they had to say, and no interest watching them stumble through their pitiful plight on their devices. Sometime after that we get a frightening scene, more pointless dialogue, and then we get to watch someone sift through web pages for a while.. and then I think I dozed off. I gave it a star for some ok-but-sparse tense scenes, but I couldnt come up with anything else worth mentioning. Bottom of the barrel stuff for Shudder flicks.

The High School Cleansing Hour
From the jump you can tell this is going to be your quintessential, un-self-aware indie horror with questionable acting, script and plot.
For the first 45 minutes it is exactly that, but in an unoffending way. You have your expected token characters with their quippy banter that isn't as clever as they think it is and some community theater like acting... and it's fine for the most part. It then hits a climax scene and it is... jarring to say the least. I don't know why literally anyone on set didn't tell the actor playing Kris that he was not in an off broadway production of The Shining, but I was literally sitting on my couch actively cringing throughout that entire scene... and honestly at that point I blame direction. From then on it pretty steadily goes down hill. I would say it was riddled with plot holes but Swiss cheese is just made that way so we will let it go...
On a positive note, I will say when the creep factor hit, it was pretty solid at times. A lot of the kills and the gore were pretty cool and I was surprisingly impressed with the sfx/cgi. I will say however, the makeup for the ghost/demon was unsuccessful and was serving up Party City body paint unfortunately. The movie also looked quite nice in general. Good picture quality and solid shots/editing. As far as acting went, the folks who played Chloe and Matty had some potential, but everything just felt so stilted and unintentionally campy that there wasn't much room for success regardless. It felt like maybe this was a first go around for the majority of the cast and in the least patronizing way possible, everything is a learning experience and not everything is always going to be your best work and that's okay.
At large, while still retaining some positive attributes, this movie didn't hit the way they wanted it to. I wouldn't say it was unsuccessful per se, but there were many variables that added up to a very amateurish fruition. I think that the cast and crew should still be proud of what they accomplished but as far as recommendation goes, I would probably have to say to pass on this one.

what a cringe acting
I recently watched the horror movie "Elevator Game", and I was disappointed.
The premise of the movie is that a group of people are stuck in an elevator after it suddenly stops working - but that's where the fun ends. The "horror" aspects of the movie are more like cheap jump-scares than anything else, and it quickly devolves into a boring and predictable mess.
The acting is passable, but there isn't much to hold your attention. The movie just doesn't deliver what it promises; I was expecting an intense ride and instead I got a snooze-fest. This one is best left avoided.
Want a dose of cringe ? Watch this..

the worst shudder...
Better Than Reported.
I think this movies biggest problem is its opening 10 minutes., and if I was reviewing based on that only, it would have got 1 star. There are too many obnoxious characters, over acting in the featured, fictional, online show, and I agree, was poorly acted for the most part. However, the two main characters are not to bad, and carry the story through. And I do think the acting in general improves as the film progresses. This obviously wasn't a big budget movie, so don't go expecting big budget CGI, but I liked the plot and the suspense, the effects had an almost eighties kind of vibe to them. While I understand this not appealing to all tastes, I enjoyed iot for what it was. Just get past the opening sequence and enjoy the ride.

Self aware horror.
It is becoming a trend, the self aware horror. Ever since the original Scream, can't believe I have to say "original Scream" but ok, counting down to movies like Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, Final Girls, Fear Street, Talk to me, and so on, movie characters don't act like movie characters anymore.
If they are in a zombie movie, they know what zombies are, and the same happen here: characters that quickly accept their situation and try to find a way out. How do they do it? Well exactly like you would see in a horror film, by going back to the beginning, seeing how it all started and finding the way to end it.
Elevator Game is somewhat fun and sort of smart but it doesn't reach the heights of an original masterpiece. Characters are overall bland and boring, the plot is easy to predict and sadly...they went with a lot of bone cracking. I think this technique is overused and it just doesn't impress anymore. Should have done something different with our main killer.
It's no Grudge, no The Ring, the villain has very little screen time and whenever it does appear, its presence has no impact.
For a one time view, I think you should definitely try it. It's out there with Countdown (2019), Come play (2020) or Megan (2022). Close to something great, but not quite there.
Cheers!

Two Stars because technically, it was a movie.
Another unimaginative, sub-mid shovel-ware movie. Nothing really stands out, the acting was lethargic and absolutely nothing stood. This is the kind of movie you throw out when you are vacuuming and folding laundry. That's probably the best thing I can say about it.
This movie feels like another low-effort offering for 12 to 14 year olds that want to get into Horror movies and this movie will gently hold their hand and ease them into things. The antagonist is simply called "The 5th Floor Woman", and that's fine. I didn't really care to invest enough brain cells thinking too hard about how this movie pandered to kids who think the Back Rooms or Slenderman are scary.
I call this kind of offering "Sesame Street Horror" because it basically spoon feeds you mild jump scares for an hour and a half.

The wring kind of low-budget.
So I was born in the early 80s and, as a result, I grew up in a time when video rentals were a thing. Back then, if you rented a horror movie, it could fall into one of three categories: Big-budget film that had had a major cinema release, small-budget indie that was made by creative people with limited resources, or small-budget cash grab, made by people who just viewed making films as a way to make some money, with no real creativity or imagination involved; make the box look interesting and someone will pay to watch it.
Movies are distributed differently nowadays but, had it been released back then, The Elevator Game would fall into the latter category.
The plot is formulaic and unimaginative, locking on to a particular idea that the filmmakers thought was current and popular (It's already out-dated). It tries to incorporate modern tropes, such as YouTube videos and influencers, but does it so ineptly that it just shows how little actual knowledge the people at the helm have of these things, resorting to exaggerated and inaccurate stereotypes.
The characters are all stereotypical horror archetypes with zero depth, and the casting of some characters defies belief (why does the "high-school intern" look older than his colleagues?)
The make-up and effects are about the level you'd expect from a mediocre Halloween party.
The acting is generally poor but, to be fair, I think there is some real talent here. The problem is the capable actors are stifled by awful scripting and direction. I won't single anyone out but there are actors in this film who I really can see - and hope I will see - going on to bigger and better things.
Ultimately, this just felt like an unimaginative, made-to-order movie that was created solely to pad out Shudder's library of original films and earn someone, somewhere a few extra bucks.

Am I the only one who liked this
Wow the few comments are bizarre This movie should have been playing in the cinemas After watching that non scary Nun 2 this movie was Finally a Scary movie It reaches the effect of the original Grudge..
Not every movie needs a big budget,hah talk about paranormal activity..
Effects were good,ghost girl was creepy Acting was fine And not that cheesy as people say I don't know what people like these days
I find big budget movies stupid and not scary at all
You should search in 1 in a million to find something scary these days
More people should comment on this for real .
I quess it should have streamed on Netflix.

Fun but nothing new
I enjoyed this from well enough so would certainly suggest it's worth 90 minutes of your time. It's well put together and the cast are pretty committed. There's some decent effects and a few moments of real tension and creepiness, though I think the solid premise could have been exploited better.
What let's the film down a little, for me, is seemingly rushed characterisation and pretty tame finale. I'd have been tempted to lean further into the gore in this one too.
Overall, it's a good slice of fun with some good laughs and a couple of creepy moments, but one that could have been much better given its decent collection of parts.

please dont watch this
It was the most cringe and boring film I have ever watched with horrible acting.
This hole movie should have been a youtube video, at most.. everything is so predictable and every conversation is full of non-sense details.

An Awful Movie
From The Annals Of The Internet...Straight To Shudder!
Elevator Game is a film whose story is based on an internet creepypasta legend that originated in Japan and South Korea.
The legend states that if you use an elevator to travel to a series of floors, in a specific order...upon reaching the fifth floor...a mysterious woman will enter.
You can neither look at, nor speak to this woman...less she pull you into her realm.
After reaching the fifth floor...you hit the button for the first floor...and if you go up...towards the tenth floor...upon reaching said floor...you open a portal to her realm.
One much like our own, though where there is no electricity...and a red cross can be seen in the sky.
Hence it being called "The Red World" in the film.
To get back...you must go to the same elevator, and repeat the process...though...upon heading toward the tenth floor, you must interrupt the process by hitting a button for a floor between the one you are on, and the tenth floor.
This should, in theory, return you to your own dimension.
If the process is interrupted by someone else entering the elevator, prior to reaching the tenth floor...you must immediately return to the first floor...and not look back.
Such are the rules of The Elevator Game.
For the most part, the film remains true to these rules.
However they take some artistic liberties of their own.
By having the "Fifth Floor Woman" rip you apart if you break the rules, for example.
Going into this, I fully expected it to be stupid.
And it is.
But I actually kind of enjoyed it.
It's definitely the type of horror that is tailored towards adolescents, and the youtube generation.
I think, ideally, it would have worked better as a short film.
But, for what it is...it actually kind of works.
Which is substantially more than I expected from it.
So colour me pleasantly surprised.
4 out of 10.

Terrible acting and a so-so plot
This is not terrible by any means. I can imagine that with someone like Sam Raimi at the helm this might have become a decent, scary little horror film. However what we have is TikTok driven fan fiction.
There are one or two jump scares here and there but none of it makes any sense.
The major problem is the acting or rather the over acting, the over emoting, the actors and their total lack of talent. Everyone is absolutely awful. So bad that we end up rooting for the elevator demon type thingy.
There may be another one, who can say. It was obviously filmed on a small budget however it didn't crack a million at the box office.

The Elevator Lame
Good concept but it falls short when you find actors on the street. Was this a high school project?
Bad make up and a bad script Who wrote the script? A sixth grader?
None of the characters was like able and couldn't act at all not a single famous person in this movie I am a huge fan of of Elevator horror movies if they are done correctly but this was just awful
There wasn't really a storyline even looked like 5 different people wrote the script
It wasn't that scary to be honest and it took a while for the game to start
Each characters was annoying. The graphic was horrible
Don't watch this movie you will regret it.

Waste of a good idea... Horrible Execution
Shudder needs to consider hiring some people with solidified talent. So turds like this film can't be churned out anymore. Elevator Game tries to play out like a Ringu, Grudge-esque type film. Where it fails is in the production itself. The acting is horrible, on par with some really bad student films I've seen. The way the story is fleshed out, very bad dialogue, bad pacing, predictable characters and moments. It has a cringe to it. Not even bad to be good enough to have a cult following like Evil Dead. This film is just trash. The special effects/makeup team also dropped the ball with their fifth floor woman that looks like something you'd find on a bargain brand Halloween makeup kit.
If you're EXTREMELY bored and want a really bad horror film, or are very very short on the spectrum and easily entertained, give it a watch.
Otherwise save the hour and minutes of life this steals.

Simple premise but still with some chills
The Elevator Game is a simple premise of a film: horror video blog just out of high schoolers need a quick and spooky idea for their channel to keep a sponsor. Thus, the decide on the Elevator Game that evokes the Fifth Floor Woman and her Red World.
The simple premise does lower the overall film as there isn't much more to the plot than this. (There is one minor twist about halfway through that is ultimately worthless for any deviation from the plotting.) Characters aren't bad for 2 dimensional, and acting is decent inside of these characters.
There is enough creepiness in the moments that do occur that I kind of liked this film. Ending is tired retread of other films, and most likely a sad attempt of the producers to allow for a sequel. Really? We need a sequel for a simple film?
Not saying it's great by far, but I gave a 6 as it did keep me watching without any yawns or sassy back talk to the film.

Disappointed
Was really exited to see the movie for a long time because of all the hype about it, but got really disappointed when I saw it. Bad acting and bad script. Looked like a high school movie project. Eve my friends that are scared of scary movies were not scared and asked me is it was a kids movie.
It was not scary and almost felt like it was funny at the same time, like the "scream" movies. Had really high hopes for many months after reading a lot of stuff about Elise lam that died after playing the elevator game. Heard a lot of true crime pods about that story and how they found her in the roof of the hotel.

Nightmare On Dare Street
We need a prequel or a series - that follows the group on their many urban legend debunking missions.
"The Haunted Amusement Park"
On a crisp autumn evening, the members of "Nightmare On Dare Street" gathered in their makeshift studio, surrounded by the eerie glow of computer screens and the flickering light of candles. Kevin, the group's enigmatic leader, had called for an emergency meeting.
"Alright, team," Kevin began, his voice brimming with excitement. "I've got a lead on our next big adventure."
Izzy, the group's tech wizard, raised an eyebrow. "What's the story this time, Kevin?"
Kevin leaned in, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Ever heard of the old abandoned amusement park just outside town? Legend has it that it's haunted by the ghost of the former owner, Mr. Hargrove, who died under mysterious circumstances."
Matty, the skeptic of the group, chuckled. "Haunted amusement parks? Really, Kevin?"
But Kris, the fearless daredevil, chimed in. "I'm up for it! Imagine the views we'd get on YouTube if we could capture real ghostly activity!"
Chloe, the group's historian, nodded in agreement. "There's a lot of history surrounding that place. It could be a goldmine of urban legends waiting to be explored."
"Alright, Kevin," Izzy said with a mischievous grin. "We're in. Let's see if we can debunk this ghost story once and for all."
With their equipment ready and their hearts pounding with anticipation, the "Nightmare On Dare Street" team embarked on their next adventure, unaware of the chilling encounters, unexpected twists, and newfound friendships that awaited them in the dark, eerie corridors of the haunted amusement park.
Little did they know that this would be the beginning of their journey into the world of urban legends and the supernatural, setting the stage for the harrowing events that would subsequently lead them to the "Elevator Game".

small horror with no expectations
A girl is playing the Elevator Game. She presses a series of buttons to arrive at a sequence of floors until the elevator brings her to another world and a malevolent spirit. A group of young people are working on an online show dealing with various urban legends. New intern Ryan suggests doing the Elevator Game.
I like the concept although I do worry that they end up with twenty minutes of riding the elevator. The best execution of this concept comes from an episode of Evil. The horror scares are mostly derivative. It's not doing anything that special or original. I like these characters. I like some of the turns. It's fine for a small horror with no expectations.

Boring and lame
This is one of the few movies where you root for the villain because the characters you're supposed to like are so uninteresting you don't care if they get killed. You can tell this movie had a shoestring budget and the concept was only used because it was cheap to make with a few red lights and some amateur Halloween makeup. The plot is thin and the dialogue is pretty boring. Even the Fifth Floor Woman's origin story manages to be incredibly formulaic and dull, as if there was no original thought put into her character. Don't waste your time attempting to watch this one. You'll only be disappointed in the end.

I did not care for this film
This movie had an uphill battle to climb, as it would have taken some really amazing writing to make this concept work. We're talking about a premise in which we have to watch characters ride an elevator up and down. My opinion is that the filmmakers just wanted a movie that would make a little money, so they only put in effort to produce something kids might be drawn to. I wasn't hoping for an all-time great cinematic experience, but I did hope it would at least be mildly entertaining. Instead, I thought the movie was very bland, overly serious, and not much fun. I also felt very unsatisfied by the ending, which I thought was the laziest part of this entire undercooked film. Not recommended.
