Three strangers are trapped inside an elevator in an empty apartment building during a blackout. The asthmatic Claudia (Amber Tamblyn) is traumatized with the accident with her beloved grandmother due to a moment of distraction. Karl (Aidan Gillen) is a widow doctor that loves his daughter. Tommy (Armie Hammer) is a young man that has just accidentally killed the violent father of his girlfriend Francesca (Katie Stuart) while protecting her and is planning to runaway to Paris with her. The tension of group escalates to a nightmare when one of the strangers shows that is a psychopath and sadistic serial-killer.
"Blackout" is an effective low-budget thriller with a tense and scary story. The plot is uncomfortable despite most of the story happening in one location with flashbacks of the lives of the three characters. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Blackout – Prisioneiros do Medo" ("Blackout – Prisoners of the Fear")
