It's a good premise and has some great cinematography, but, unfortunately, it's stuck at the ground floor.

Socially awkward teenager Ryan discovers that the night his sister disappeared, she had played 'The Elevator Game' — a ritual conducted in an elevator in which players attempt to travel to another dimension using a set of rules found online. Ignoring warnings, he resolves to follow and find her.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A teen descends into a supernatural urban legend ritual to find his missing sister, watching familiar spaces turn claustrophobic and sinister. The film trades on the specific dread of following rules you don't understand in spaces you can't escape.
