Blue Underground goes DOWN the shaft (review)

Dick Maas takes THE LIFT down THE SHAFT again in his 2001 American remake DOWN in which a New York skyscraper's elevator system is struck by lightning and goes haywire causing a series of increasingly violent freak accidents.  A repairman and a reporter start to investigate into whether the machine actually has a life of its own.
