Escape Room

I saw this recently on a dvd.

Had seen the trailer n liked it. The film opens in a middle eastern desert, creating the atmosphere n the dread.

The director did a fine job considering the budget n he managed to tell the story about the box n its evil thru the actions of the two desert fellas n some thru the opening credits.

After the opening credit, our film moves to Los Angeles, where four friends plan to take a trip to an escape room. A tight confined room compared to the open desert. The room has no phones, no wireless, and it is completely sound proof. No neighbors or outsiders will be able to hear your scream once the action starts. As for the cctv u have to watch the movie. I don't want to spoil it. One death scene is very brutal, the scissor in the head one.

The makers can make a prequel setting the picture in the 19th century.

Well I thought it was a clone of Saw and I like Saw so I gave it a shot.

Turns out it's not a clone at all, it's an original movie. Can you believe it ? A horror film with an original scenario ? Not your typical house-in-the-woods horror film, for sure. Thumbs up for that.

This movie is not exceptional. But it was so happy to finally find a horror movie which actually offers something new.

Acting is average, but a special effort has been made to the sound effects. The snitch sounds like he is 200 pounds, and that makes him really scary. I've seen a lot of horror movies, and I'm not scared easily, but this one has definitely a nice tension.

TLDR ; not Oscar-winning, but finally something new. I recommend.

I honestly had a great time with this movie, despite wanting to turn it off until 30 minutes in. The first 10 minutes of this movie were pointless, and once the characters start to be introduced, you don't really care for or resonate with any of them. They are either annoying or useless, and don't really add anything of value to the story.

That being said, once they enter the Escape Room, the movie really just takes off and never lets up for a minute. It is edge of your seat, the tension is really well done, and the antagonist is genuinely creepy. Several times throughout the movie I wondered if I had switched movies and I didn't realize it. The first 30 minutes of this film do a poor job at setting up the rest of the movie, but once the horror ramps up, it really is an entertaining experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed this, despite the initial 30 minutes.

I don't really pay attention to reviews for movies. I regret listening to all the awful reviews and giving this a shot. It was one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. I rented it for 5 dollars and I'm more upset about the 2 hours I wasted with this than the money I spent. It consists of some of the worst acting I've ever seen. The only reason I kept watching it was because I thought the ending would kind of explain all the crap I've watched but it doesn't. It just simply ends. I don't even want to give this movie any more of my time with a bad review because 1 star is still doing it justice.

It's not even bad. It's one of the worst horror movies i've seen in my life. Total waste of time
