What is this film / show?? Horrible lift scene

Saw this as a child so maybe late 80s / early nights (still traumatised). Quite dark - always thought it was twin peaks but having watched it all recently definitely not that. Some people reluctantly get in a lift, once in the floors starts giving them electric shocks (or possibly heats up) that get worse, they jump around for a bit screaming and pretty sure they die. Can still remember it decades on but have never been able to find out what it was. Erring more to a tv series than a film but could be either. Help!!

Cats eye by Stephen King. It's not a lift but it's a chamber where people ( and a cat ) are given electric shocks. A horribly disturbing film which your post reminded me of. I don't think this is your film but your post has dredged up a very unpleasant memory of watching this. Thanks 😉

I don't know if there's a film of it, but one of the Jeffrey Deaver Lincoln Rhymes series books is about a murderer whose weapon is electricity, basically, and it has this exact situation. One person who survives is in a wheelchair, protected by the rubber wheels.

Cats eye!! Yes that’s the one (just watched clip on YouTube with sound off and recognised the scene immediately). That has been bugging me for years! Sorry to dredge up the awful memory but thank you!! (Might have know it was SK, I absolutely loved him at that age!)

Don’t think I’ll be rewatching it! (Or reading that book!)

I watched the you tube clip too and recognised it instantly, I am definitely not going to watch it again!. Its amazing what can be hidden in your brain but I can't remember where I put my keys on a daily basis!

The troll in that movie still haunts me.
