Independent Aussie films rarely look this good. While its
very insular setting (most of it takes place in an elevator) and smaller cast
(we largely stick with Charlotte Best in the lead as Aria) mean that there
aren’t many spots for budget deficiencies to present themselves, this still
holds up visually to just about any American film I’ve seen this year. Even the
computer effects, which ramp up quite a bit as the film goes along, are
genuinely impressive, whether it’s the more supernatural aspects of the
characters or just the realisation of the brakes on the main elevator as they
jut and throw its occupant around. But once you get past that presentation, things to start unravel very quickly.
