How would you modify the plot if you changed the genre of the movie 'Up' to thriller?

As the house ascends Russell hides in a closet and discovers the dessicated body of Ellie.
(Mayhem ensues.)

Oh, don’t mess with “Up” :(

any reason why this is in General and not Social?

GA @worriedguy And she was wearing her Wilderness Survivor sash!

The dastardly mad scientist snatches Russell in order to have someone to carry on his work. He puts one of the control collars on him. Carl has to take the house and go and save him. Will he be in time?

@Cruiser Nice touch. Was it a new sash or an old one? GA

@marinelife
Better yet: Carl is the one who gets a control collar. The collar is designed to break the wearer’s free will by injecting him with psychoactive drugs that bring up his darkest memories and give him vivid hallucinations of all his inner demons. Carl has to come to terms with the horrors he’s seen and the atrocities he’s committed back when he served in Vietnam, before the collar drives him insane.

Sounds like a good sub-plot to a thriller.

Carl actually shoves Russell out of the house when they first take off, and spends the rest of the movie slowly going insane from the guilt.

@Fyrius You go, guy!

Kevin is not as benign as she seems.
