Down
Dick Maas / NL, US, 2001 / 112 min.
Dick Maas transformed his horror classic De lift into a new movie featuring American actors. The lift with a mind of its own is relocated to downtown New York. Preceded by a screening of Dick Maas' short film Long Distance.
‘102 floors, 73 elevators’ read the disconcerting blurb accompanying Down and, naturally, viewers know what time it is: Evil lives at the fictional Millennium Building in New York and it hangs from a steel cable. The question is. For how long? It all starts with a torch being crushed by the elevator’s doors, after which a bevvy of pregnant women become trapped inside and are scared witless.

In 2026, it will be forty years since the popular comedy Flodder shook up the film landscape. That same year, Dick Maas celebrates his 75th birthday — the perfect occasion for a look back at the work of the Dutch “king of genre,” who managed to draw millions of Dutch viewers to the cinema.
