A good ghost story can be hard to achieve in the world of mass-produced haunting flicks, and Elevator Game struggles to find its footing. While the film boasts a frightening villain and a few good scares, the disjointed storytelling and lackluster acting hold this movie back. Confusing and slow, Elevator Game fails to layer an effective story around the horror elements, which are far and few between. Elevator Game doesn’t know whether it wants to be a dark horror film or a comedic ghost flick, resulting in a sloppy film that ends up feeling like an episode of Goosebumps.Based on the online phenomenon of the same name, Elevator Game follows a group of young people who run a web series where they dissect frightening online legends. When newcomer Ryan (Gino Anania) suggests that the group use the infamous “elevator game” as their next dare, the content creators get more than they bargained for. The group ends up opening a portal in the elevator that lets out a monstrous, ghostly woman, who will stop at nothing to end the group once and for all.Elevator Game’s tone is all off. The film attempts to be a hardcore horror flick chock-full of gore, but while there are some memorable scenes of carnage, it never fully leans into the dark nature of its story. Instead, Elevator Game insists on adding awkward humor that never fits, making the film feel tonally muddled. One scene towards the climax completely distracts the viewer from the horror of the story as one forgettable character mumbles trite jokes that throw off the entire film.
