Stairwell: Trapped in the World Trade Center (2002 Video) User Reviews

Parisen's best work yet

[only1soe · 7 December 2002]

I finally got a chance to watch Stairwell last night and I really enjoyed it. I know the first thing people are going to think when they see this movie is that the story is kinda told in a "Blair Witch" format. Unlike the Blair Witch, Stairwell tells you a good story of two best friends trapped in the WTC. I thought the two main characters Charlie (Eddie Fontana) and Mike the fireman (Sean R. Walsh) did a fantastic job and were very believable in their difficult roles. I was also very impressed with the inside of the WTC after the plane hit. I thought it looked real cool and once again very believable. My one small problem with the movie is some of the extra's and minor characters seemed to lack urgency of getting out once the plane hit. All in all though that was one small problem which reflects mostly on unexperienced actors. There was one real funny one liner about Charleston Heston. I laughed my ass off. Check this movie out if you have a chance. It really captures a moment in time.

The First 9/11 film is also a B/W THANK YOU to Firemen.

STAIRWELL: Trapped In The WTC Towers Starring: Sean R. Walsh Available at Indieflix.com Okay, This is a controversial film, Just because of the timing of original release. Picture the fact that you know it has to below budget,IT takes place in a STAIRWELL, For God Sakes…EVIL DEAD happened in a shack . Sean was very good as the fireman with dialogue from the heart, Why was he smoking in middle of movie though ? Not sure why it switched from color film to b/w maybe to match stock footage, Was the towers fall you forget such trifling details as our hero and his responsibilities try to survive. I saw tension, drama, and passion and was not prepared for the ending.
