    Pretty cool

    It's a really cool concept. Kind of takes over for the final destination franchise. Not a bloody movie either, they do cuts before anything gross happens. Sets up nicely for a sequel. Hope to see a few of these.

    Solid Watch .. until the ending

    Enjoyed very much until the last 10 minutes. I wish the internet were to broke off at that point. Such a waste of a very cool flick.

    Escape Room

    Six people receive a mysterious box. It contains a chance to win ten thousand dollars. As the strangers arrive in a nondescript building and wait in a reception area.

    They certainly find themselves locked in a series of escape rooms with fiendish traps and small clues. However this is no game, the penalty for failure is death.

    Escape Room is reminiscent of the cult movie Cube. There are hints that the six people could be trapped in purgatory. We see flashbacks that they were all involved in some life threatening event where they may or could had perished.

    Escape Room in its own term is better than a lot of low budget horror/thrillers. It is not as gory or nasty as the Saw movies.

    It is competently entertaining with a subtext regarding pleasing the elites.

    Escape Room

    7/10 I enjoyed it, the rooms were amazing, the characters were likable, the movie had intense moments, I like the fact the characters were working together. It was great to get some type of backstory on each character.

    Decent enough

    A decent enough movie with great tension and edge of the seat thrills.

    A bit of a predictable ending but still good.

    Acting was on par n the music score was good n great special effects.

    A really good film with plenty of suspense.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      After the death of five Polish teenagers, killed by fire in a real-life tragedy which occurred within an escape room in Poland, the release date of the film was pushed back a few months in a number of countries out of respect for the girls who died.
    • Goofs
      The watchers have no control over who dies. It is a survival of the fittest test. However, the 4th room can only be solved by Ben as it relies on his knowledge of American Sign Language. Had he died earlier, the game would be unwinnable, rather than survival of the fittest.
    • Quotes

      Jason Walker: None of us died, right?

      Zoey Davis: We're sole survivors.

      Jason Walker: So what.

      Zoey Davis: We're a statistical improbability. And now they want to see who will be the luckiest among the lucky.

    • Crazy credits
      The first parts of the credits are paired with a ball going through a maze while passing important objects in the film.
