Escape room movie 2017 movie#
It’s a great concept - escape rooms are all the rage right now - but it’s a short movie and the script falls apart at the end. The traps aren’t as deadly, but people in the escape room die, and painfully. Once there, they’re forced to use their wits in order to escape, or they die. Has one of his friends arranged this? Is it because of the cheating? Or is it something different altogether? Is Tyler going to get what’s coming to him … or will his intelligence save him?ĭuring the expensive evening out, they get trapped in a deadly escape room, but the price to play is more than just money. He is also a callous snob, evidence perhaps that the script has something horrible in store for him. Also established is Tyler’s intelligence (he calculates the bill to the cent without much thought) and it’s a good setup to the film. The relationships are established well enough during dinner at the beginning of the film. Also accompanying them are Conrad and Tabby, two characters whose soul purpose seems to be to fool around with each other while the events unfold around them. Johnson), who seems to be oblivious to the cheating. Natasha, however, is married to Anderson (Dan J. She’s arranged the escape room as a birthday present for Tyler, who happens to be cheating on her with Natasha (Annabelle Stephenson). I wonder if perhaps the movie did have a bit more to it that ended up on a cutting room floor … ? The StoryĬhristen (Elizabeth Hower) plays the beautiful girlfriend of Tyler (Evan Williams). So I did enjoy it … but I just wish that the filmmakers had followed through on some fascinating threads established in the prologue and title sequence. ESCAPE ROOM is a strangely compelling film, which I sat through and didn’t once think about switching off or walking away from. In this way it’s similar to TRUTH OR DARE, which I reviewed here.
The production values are great, the actors are young and beautiful, the film is fast paced and it’s interesting to see them thrust into a deadly situation where their lives are at stake. Part of the draw of the movie was watching these wealthy millenials being put through hell, but the movie fell apart about halfway through and never fully recovered. How wealthy are they? The price of the escape room in question is a thousand dollars per person, and one of the characters pays the entire bill to participate (for six people) and has no qualms doing so. It’s an 80 minute horror/suspense film about a group of twenty-somethings who clearly inhabit the upper crust of society. It took me a little bit to decide whether I wanted to write this review or not.ĮSCAPE ROOM (2017) is a compelling but flawed movie. Starring: Evan Williams, Elizabeth Hower, Annabelle Stephenson, Dan J.
