BODY COUNT (spoilers!!!)

The pregnant women at the start don't count since they survived...

1, 2. Blind guy and his dog - fall from 91 stories
3. security guard (poor guy!) - decapitated
4. rollerblader - sucked into elevator and shot out from 86th floor observation deck (splattered on the sidewalk)
5. elevator repairman - strangled, bled to death... not actually done by the elevator
6. other elevator repairman (previous) - same as #5 (not a suicide as previously claimed)
7 -> 20 (or so). an elevator full of people, including children - floor gave way and everyone fell, then elevator slammed into the roof
21. police officer - cut in half by falling elevator far (since decapitation earlier in the film wasn't enough I guess)
22. the "bad" guy - strung up and hanged

Now, why did the repairman die? That served no purpose. I feel bad for the cop, kinda. And really bad for the security guard!

Who I wish HAD been killed off: not the elevator load of people (I hate when non-developed characters die!)... Okay, so kill off the jerk and his friends from the diner earlier. Kill off the elevator company president. Kill off the nasty nursery nanny...

Come on! There was so much better room to kill off characters than having random rollerbladers get sucked into the shaft or kill off kids. Geez!

Tell me about it. I too found that irritating, especially the poor kids and the dog .

...love, peace and chicken grease!

Agreed. This movie(If it can be called that.), in my opinion, blows. If it wasn't enough that we had to witness some poor dog get choked to death, we had to see a guy decapitated, a teenager's guts get splattered all over the pavement and a bunch of kids killed. Crappy movie made by some weirdo, if you ask me.

The nursery nanny was definetly NOT Mary Poppins!

maybe i've seen way too many movies in my life now, and okay, maybe a rule of horror movies is that we can predict which jerks will get killed so we can enjoy seeing jerks rubbed out--you know, those people who deserve, more than us, to die.... but the rule in this movie was that the thing possessing the elevator was SOOOO evil that it killed ANYONE who dared to mess with it or ride it. that's true evil, isn't it? that INNOCENT people die, not just jerks? oh wait....that's too much like real life. and that's not what movies are for.

although i wince at the realistic depictions of gory mutilated bodies, i also take pleasure in knowing that it is ALL fiction, and not like anything humanity or individual humans have to endure. like, it's not war, or anything.

bring the boys home safe. the women too.

Didn't one of the kids in the elevator full of people actually wet himself just before the floor gave way? I thought that was unnecessary.
