Lady in a Cage1964

Horror Vault's take

When a wealthy widow becomes trapped in her private home elevator during a holiday weekend, what begins as a mechanical inconvenience quickly spirals into a waking nightmare. A band of ruthless street criminals discovers her helpless situation and moves in — turning her elegant mansion into a hunting ground. Director Walter Grauman wrings suffocating tension from the stark contrast between the woman's privileged world and the savagery closing in around her. Olivia de Havilland delivers a commanding performance at the center of this harrowing, sweat-soaked siege.
