U.S. label Blue Underground has released a brand new trailer for the new remaster of director Dick Maas' thriller Down (2001), starring Naomi Watts, Ron Perlman, James Marshall, Eric Thal, Michael Ironside, and Edward Herrmann. A Blu-ray release of Down is expected to arrive on the market later this year.
Down is an English-language remake of director Maas' film The Lift (1983), starring Huub Stapel and Willeke van Ammelrooy. Blue Underground has also remastered The Lift in 2K and is preparing a Blu-ray release. (You can see the official cover art that the label has revealed below).
Supplemental features to be included on these upcoming releases have not yet been finalized and will be revealed as the street dates approach.
Down
Synopsis: When the elevator in the 102-story Millennium Building starts to malfunction the management sends in a mechanic to solve the problem, but not everyone is happy about it-especially the elevator. After several of New York's finest are killed, the government, fearing terrorism, seals off the building. Now it is up to the mechanic and a reporter (Naomi Watts) to face an enemy whose bloodthirst is only met by its unpredictability...an enemy that is determined to fight off any intruder looking for the dark secret that lurks inside the belly of The Shaft.
The Lift
Synopsis: A lift begins displaying some erratic behavior, like trapping some party goers and nearly suffocating them, and decapitating a security guard. Felix, the technician from the lift company, can't find anything wrong with the circuitry. When he and a nosy reporter begin asking questions of the lift company's electronics partner (Rising Sun Electronics), his boss puts him on a leave of absence. A subsequent visit to a professor leads them to believe that some evil experiments are being conducted with microchips. Also starring Josine van Dalsum and Liz Snoyink.
