Saw x Cube x The Belko Experiment, if you like those movies then you should like this one.

Not because I haven't wanted to, it's just been difficult to find one in my area. I know have a center in my mall that offers it and now intend on going to it, especially after seeing this movie. That may sound crazy but solving puzzles and using your mind is a fun experience. Just like this movie. Escape Room was a movie that came out of nowhere. I had no idea about this film until a TV spot appeared during a football game I was watching. I found myself really interested in this film. After an opening that will send us back weeks earlier, we are introduced to almost all of our escapees receiving mysterious puzzles boxes that reveal an address to a building where a exclusive escape room they are being invited to attend. They are all under the impression that this invite was sent to them from people they know. We immediately get bad vibes to this however because of the mysterious greeter asking for their phones not to be used in the room. I was getting "Belko Experiment" vibes from this at this point and that is not a bad thing. I liked that movie quite a bit. The building design, at least from the outside and lobby look much like the belko building. The set design of all the escape room is very well done. This film is far from done on the cheap then you would expect. With a budget of just over 9 million dollars, every penny is shown with creativeness of the rooms.The film doesn't feature any big name actors except for Taylor Russell from Netflix "Lost in Space" and Deborah Ann Woll from HBO's "True Blood". That is not to say we are getting low end actors here though. Every performance is well done. Taylor Russell is a very good actress and carries this film. Each room poses a new problem and none of it seems repetitive. With each new mystery comes new challenges and inattentiveness. I have heard some people complain that this has too much of a "Saw" vibe. I disagree. Yes, the struggle to solve a puzzle before death is similar but not in the same way. I am so sick and tired of similarities always being brought up because of this. All movies share in common things with other films. Does that mean that every film should be accused of this? I don't think so. Each room brings intense moments with not knowing which character is going to die or experience bodily harm. This all leads to a interesting final act that I did not anticipate. In fact, Jason Kobasic and I were both feeling like this film could be connected to "Belko Experiment" and I would have been OK with that. There is a lot of franchise potential in this but only if that characters that survive this film are brought back into it. I am tired of sequels to these kind of movies that just bring in new people every film and ignore the previous characters or just kill them off. The ending did frustrate me at first up until I read an article with the film's director saying that sequels want to get made if the box office is good. Well, I am happy to report that the film has already made 64 million dollars worldwide. Be ready people, another trip to the escape room is coming and I am ready for it.

Some of its aspects reminded me of Cube and other movies. However, for me, it seems that the movie only gains from that fact. It nicely explores the idea of an escape room that becomes too realistic.… Expand

The dialogue may be a pit predictable at times, however the acting makes up for it along with the complexity and diversity of the puzzles and/or their rooms. There are indeed several spots that can be predicted throughout the movie, however the twists were very enjoyable. Overall, the movie is quite fun to watch because of the way it handles its characters and development. The ending is a bit rough, but it only proves that this is a movie that requires you to think. If you have spare time this weekend, go watch it! Escape Room is a thrill that tends to focus more on its story rather than throwing gore at your face every 5 seconds. Basically, the movie is solid all around; however, the roles of the actors are kind of cliché, and it can get confusing. The movie definitely could have improved if there wasn't so much being left out; like "Birdbox," it could have used more structure in the plot. However, if you're a nerd who enjoys surrealism and seeing people lose their minds like me, chances are you might get something from this movie.… Expand

Escape Room is about a group of strangers invited to participate in a series of escape rooms (for the unaware: group puzzle-solving activities) only to find out they're deadly. Sure, yeah killer traps and rooms have already been done inEscape Room is about a group of strangers invited to participate in a series of escape rooms (for the unaware: group puzzle-solving activities) only to find out they're deadly. Sure, yeah killer traps and rooms have already been done in previous films, but I appreciate the idea of an escape room in general being used as a force of murder considering how popular they are these days. I wasn't sure how this film would turn out based on the previews, but I was pleased with the final product.

Yeah, the movie has some predictable characters and elements, but this is a very polished film. The script, occasional joke without sabotaging the mood, characters, and general direction are all solid. Great main cast all around, better than expected for movies of this type.

A lot of thought goes into the murder rooms, which are all impressively decorated and designed. They are a little over-the-top, but the film manages to explain how they work practically. The challenges and threats all pan out nicely. The ending, while I wouldn't say it was bad, wasn't ideal for me. To clarify, I'm talking about the wrap-up after the final fight for survival, which works. 1) This final part breaks the tenuous suspension-of-disbelief as the antagonist or antagonists does/do something that seems impossible to pull off even with his/her/their resources. 2) There is a semi-long tacked-on setup for a possible sequel that seems more at home for a big blockbuster than a horror film.

Also, be forewarned that the reveal of the human face/faces to the antagonist/antagonists is a little underwhelming.

I wouldn't say Escape Room is a must-see, but I do recommend it to any horror fan who wants a good time.… Expand

It's a decent thriller. Saw + Cube = this movie. I know, the idea was popular a few years ago but still managed to get me interested in what will happen in the next room.

This movie is a pleasant surprise, full of memorable performances (of the two main characters, above all), clever twists and awsome scenes, such as the lipstick one. A must see!

A good time if you are into "Saw" type of movies but with less gore and more puzzles.

They should have just put the first scene where it belonged though, if you're willing to overlook that dumb decision a 7 is well deserved, otherwise a 5 to 6 is indeed more like it.… Expand
