    Not good

    I did manage to watch the whole film but in honesty it was pretty bad. Little to nothing happened. A few times you did feel a tiny bit on edge but mostly because I was waiting for a jump scare which never came. Can't find something to watch then it might be worth a go but for me it was the first and last time I'll ever watch this movie.

    Surprisingly enjoyable

    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.

    not Oscar-winning, but finally something new.

    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.

    Original but flawed

    Don't know if it was just my copy but there were no subtitles at the beginning which was puzzling.

    Excellent acting from Skeet and Sean Young (For the ten minutes they appeared) but couldn't save it from movie oblivion.

    Interesting idea , started off well and quickly went down the big white telephone!

    My honest comment on it is...

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