Based on the online phenomenon of the same name, Rebekah McKendry (Glorious) is playing the Elevator Game with her next horror movie, and it’s coming soon to Shudder.
Announced this morning, Elevator Game will begin streaming exclusively on Shudder on September 15. The film had previously been scheduled for Shudder premiere on August 11.
Watch the brand new official trailer down below.
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.
Gino Anania, Verity Marks, Alec Carlos, Nazariy Demkowicz, Madison MacIsaac, Liam Stewart-Kanigan, and Megan Best star in McKendry’s The Elevator Game.
Travis Seppala (Captive) wrote the upcoming horror movie.
“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,’” said McKendry.
“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.”
