SYNOPSIS
The clock ticks on three strangers trapped in an elevator, who all have a desperate, urgent need to escape their confines. A high-concept serial-killer thriller with a terrifying climax.

Claudia (Amber Tamblyn) is in a hurry to return to the hospital bedside of her dying grandmother. Tommy is a young punk on his way to elope with his girlfriend. Karl (Aiden Gillen) has guilty secrets that must be erased from his apartment before his wife and daughter get there. But all three are trapped in an elevator in a deserted building on holiday weekend - and are desperate to get out.

The first attempt to escape results in a gruesome injury and an elevator that is now supported only by the emergency brakes, while the trio's sole defence against the stifling heat is a single water bottle.

Then two of the strangers discover they face much more intense peril than they thought possible as the third is revealed to be a serial killer - fresh from a bloody crime scene.

Propelled by escalating tension and an increasingly desperate conflict, Blackout hurtles towards a terrifying climax.
