Italy2017 98min Asian Premiere

Synopsis

Claudio is stuck in the elevator on his way to an important meeting. As a lethal and highly contagious virus is transforming people into homicidal zombies, he must rely entirely on his cell phone and survival instincts to break out of this hell on earth.

Program Note

It’s better to give up living at this point. The main character, Claudio, is one of the top businessmen in his field. But, something like a bolt out of the blue happens to him. As he is trapped in the elevator, he has to struggle with the zombies. In addition, the only communication tool is a cell phone. Once familiar faces turned into beasts and a mass of blood. The situation of life in hell, Claudio must rely solely on his survival instincts to get out of there. In the narrow elevator, even within the spatial constraints, the camera perfectly captures fear. It is a great cliche. In addition, the sound is simply designed, but much enough to create tension. It is also unbending to drag out the story for 1 hour and 30 minutes in that small space. George A. Romero, the master of the zombie movie, might have expressed two thumbs up if he saw the movie. The title of the movie is The End? . It is a surprise, End? Answering what the question mark symbolizes is the task of the audience. (JUNGHYUN Hae-yong)
