Yes, those "how would you react?" videos are a little played out, but this one manages to be the exception. From the guys over at Thinkmodo, this clip asks the fairly simple question: How would you react if you walked in on a murder in progress? To gauge people's responses, video cameras were set up inside of an elevator to capture two actors staging an attempted murder scene every time the doors opened.

The results were quite astonishing - some tried to help the victim, some ran, some screamed...and one whipped out his phone and tried to video it, because technology will truly be the downfall of us all.

The video was produced as a publicity stunt for the upcoming film Dead Man Down. You can check it out above.
