That's what the minds behind Thinkmodo wanted to find out when they faked a murder in an elevator to see just how people would react.
'What would you do if you walked into a murder in progress?' asks the video's YouTube poster, BeatriceRevenge.

Ready: The pranksters have everything they need to convince people a murder is taking place

Surprise: When people open the elevator this is the shocking scene they're greeted with
It's a classic fight-or-flight test.
Some people immediately jump into the fray and try to save the man being strangled. Others just walk away.

Help: This woman tries to pull the victim to safety

Stop it: Yet another tries beating the assailant with her bouquet

Put it out: One man tries to cool things off with a fire extinguisher
Besides being a great, living Rorschach test, the video is a publicity stunt for the upcoming film 'Dead Man Down,' an upcoming gangland thriller.

No thanks: Not everyone tries to stop the murder, instead choosing to walk away

Horror: Others are simply terrified and don't know what to do

Handful: One mover didn't have time to deal with the homicide
Hopefully if you do reach for your cell phone it's to call the cops, not take a picture.

Leaving: This man wanted nothing to do with the deadly fight

Hold me back: One prankster could have gotten seriously hurt when this burly savior goes to pull him off

Post it: Why get involved when you can take a picture?
