"F**k you, Katie!"
'From the producers of A Quiet Place' comes this unashamedly similar high concept movie win which invading murderous subterranean creatures (Reapers) pick off most of the world's population (by detecting carbon dioxide?), with the remnants of humankind only able to survive above 8,000 feet. Jumping forward three years, a sickly boy forces his father (Anthony Mackie) to descend into the danger zone for medical supplies, accompanied by an embittered scientist (Morena Baccarin) and a feisty world-curious young woman (Maddie Hasson). Mackie and Baccarin give committed and watchable performances as expected, but they are given little with which to work. It is all rather simple, small-scale and low-key, although the set pieces are quite effective and creature design is good, but Elevation offers very little that you would not expect from the post-apocalyptic creature-feature genres.
