A Distress Call From The Other World (1985)
Overview
A bizarre supernatural mystery thriller that frequently borders on the surreal, the tour-de-force scene in this one blends live action and animation to depict an elevator ride that just keeps on going... beyond the elevator shaft, beyond the local bridge, and down into the waters below where a murdered man's restless soul attempts to communicate with the living in order to find justice and revenge for his killing.
