Based on the online phenomenon of the same name, Rebekah McKendry (Glorious) is playing the Elevator Game with her next horror movie, which was acquired by Shudder.
Deadline reports this afternoon, “the film will stream on AMC+ in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Shudder, meanwhile, operates in the U.S., Canada, the UK, Ireland, Germany, Australia and New Zealand.” No release date has been provided at this time.
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 to find his sister, who disappeared months earlier, probably while taking the dangerous challenge.
Playing the game involves riding the elevator in a specific sequence to invoke a supernatural creature called ‘The 5th Floor Woman.’
Travis Sepal (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. Now let’s start by going to 4.”
