The much-awaited flick Elevation has been the talk of the town. The dystopian action thriller chronicles the struggles of a single father and two women to protect a boy from monsters. With the film hitting the screens, fans are eager to delve deep into its story, especially the origins of the dangerous creatures. So, what are the monsters or reapers in Elevation movie and where did they come from?
Here is everything you need to know about the creatures in the film.
What are the Reaper monsters in Elevation?
The Reapers are technically assembled creatures who kill humans in Elevation.
In the film, Nina accompanied by Will, works on a chemical mixture in her lab to kill the monsters. This comes after the realization that the bullets and grenade launchers were not enough to tackle the creatures. Nina decides to use a powerful combination of bullets and chemicals but fails to crack the formula.
However, after multiple attempts, she learns that she needs to use Cobalt along with the bullets. The experiment works as Nina kills the reapers by imploding them. After killing the first reaper, Nina also realizes that these monsters are not natural predators as they are not eating humans or animals for survival. At the end of Elevation, it is revealed that Reapers are just machines designed to kill humans.
Where did the Reapers come from in Elevation movie?
It is not confirmed where did the Reapers come from in the movie. While they were revealed to be machines, their origins are not confirmed. However, the post-credits scene hinted at another wave of monsters from the sky through meteors.
Some believe that the Reapers may have been made by aliens from another planet to attack mankind. On the other hand, the theory of humans creating these monsters seems unlikely as the technology shown in the world isn’t that advanced.
There is also a theory that the first wave of monsters might have originated from underground with the second wave coming from the sky. However, only a potential sequel of the film can properly answer questions related to the origin of the Reapers.
Elevation is currently running in theatres.
