SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved The Lift, try these.

Down poster 01

Movie / 2001 / Action / Horror / Thriller

Down

Why this pick

Dick Maas revisits the hostile-elevator premise with a slicker, English-language B-movie scale, retaining the mechanical menace, escalating building-set suspense, and gleefully pulpy tone of The Lift.

The Hidden poster 02

Movie / 1987 / Action / Horror / Science Fiction / Thriller

The Hidden

Why this pick

Like The Lift, it turns an impersonal urban force into a fast-moving threat, combining horror and science fiction with dry humour, brisk procedural momentum, and inventive practical-era genre energy.

Hardware poster 03

Movie / 1990 / Horror / Science Fiction / Thriller

Hardware

Why this pick

This shares The Lift’s fascination with murderous machinery and urban decay, but pushes it into a more stylized, abrasive cyberpunk nightmare with tense confinement and tactile practical effects.

The Car poster 04

Movie / 1977 / Horror

The Car

Why this pick

A similarly absurd everyday machine becomes an implacable predator. Its straight-faced treatment of a B-movie concept and steadily mounting pursuit tension make it a natural companion to The Lift.

Demon Seed poster 05

Movie / 1977 / Horror / Science Fiction

Demon Seed

Why this pick

For another domestic-tech nightmare, this builds unease from automated systems taking control of human space, with chilly sci-fi horror, claustrophobia, and the same distrust of supposedly helpful modern design.
