 | Vault Of Horror is a weekly post in which Jp & Chris strive to bring the horror community a special lost, forgotten, or rare piece of horror history. The vault houses oddities of all variety and we will highlight one each week. So come back every Tuesday for your weekly horror fix. |
This week for the Vault of Horror we present to you a long lost forgotten short film called Elevated. It is a 1997 Canadian Short film and was written and directed by Vincenzo Natali who would later bring us Cube. This Short follows a Woman who enters an Elevator in a garage at her workplace and is soon approached by a panicked bloody man who claims of an alien killing his co-workers on another level of the building. Frightened and unsure of the man’s story, the women faces a life deciding choice, Stay with the man or go alone back into the garage.
Running at only 20 minutes this short film captures more chills then most theatrical feature films and it happens to be my personal favorite. Its claustrophobic feel leaves you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. It’s very atmospheric and nerve wrecking and leaves you with the fear of what you can’t see is much more terrifying. The sad story of this film is that it is very hard to find as it was never released on home video and is nowhere to be seen online and YouTube videos of the short are taken down almost immediately. It is said that some foreign DVD releases of Cube come with this as a bonus feature but I have yet track one down. So set back, turn out the lights and enjoy this treat from the Vault of Horror.
