Around mid-2001, a French thriller was released in the States called With a Friend Like Harry. It was a chilling, blackly comic piece that some critics were calling neo-Hitchcock - which is, of course, absurd. Hitchcock was Hitchcock. Speaking both logically and artistically, nobody else could do what he did. Some have come close, however.

It's hard to believe that the horror subgenre about "Machines/Technology Gone Wild" actually has a subgenre itself of "Evil Elevator" films, but it does, small as it may be.
