FLOOR 9.5
2018 · 2m · UK
Directed by Toby Meakins
A woman steps into an elevator that deposits her on a floor that should not exist, a Kafkaesque horror trap with no apparent exit and no logical rules.
Picked by Felix
The scouts
Two minutes to make you feel the existential horror of clocking in and discovering reality has filed a different form.
Premise economy is its own form of mastery — Georgina Campbell's face doing work in a confined space is worth more than most horror films' full arsenals.
Meakins commits to the Kafkaesque impossible-architecture premise with zero explanation — a Cannes Lion winner that is also a genuine two-minute Twilight Zone. Brand-funded but properly unnerving.
