Elevation Director George Nolfi Teases Sequel to His Horror Creature Feature
When it comes to post-apocalyptic survival thrillers, acclaimed filmmaker George Nolfi is kicking it up a notch with his creature-feature-driven horror movie, Elevation. Conveying a refreshing take on the genre through human vulnerability and terrors of the unknown, the director, best known for his work in The Adjustment Bureau and The Banker, uses nuanced storytelling to explore some very grounded fears in the face of overwhelming odds. Juxtaposing the stunning landscapes of the Colorado Rockies with a creeping terror of hard-shelled monsters called “Reapers,” Nolfi admits to Collider that these creatures were designed to evoke an unsettling, predatory presence. But it was also a rather “lengthy process” inspired by “nature’s own creatures” and movement, as he shares.
