The Lift - (1983)


The subject of man vs. machine has always been filled with a multitude of theories. Man makes machine yet  machine is smarter than man is one of them. Man programs a computer to store and save data. It is programmed to know time. Same can be applied to elevators right? An elevator know when you will be coming in and when you need to be dropped off. But when machines get used and tested over and over again, what if they develop a mind of their own? Only man can be the culprit if that is the case...

What goes on in the mind of the elevator when accidents are more frequent to the point of purposeful? Falling into an empty shaft, being decapitated, catching yourself on fire, sounds like one hell of a malfunction! No matter how many times you attempt to destroy the elevator, it will always be ten steps ahead of you. It will short circuit you before you short circuit it!
