This film hardly deserves a solid, serious review. We have Dominic Purcell as a man who is locked up and one day sees a student on a field trip and apparently becomes obsessed with her. He breaks out ,and begins tracking her down.

Now, first of all, I feel bad that Purcell is involved in a "prison break" film, because he should really be trying to move away from such things. But anyway, he is the best part of this train wreck of a film. The plot is convoluted, it just seems to go where it wants... they could have had a violent psychopath killing people or a teen slasher, but it seems like they wanted this and something a bit more intelligent -- a combination they were not ready to pull off.

This is not the worst film I have seen this year, and probably not the worst film I have seen this month... but I would strongly advise people to watch just about anything else.

The other reviews are all undoubtedly from folks promoting this flick, and/or those with some monetary stake in the movie. Even if this movie were free (and it can be) don't waste the time it takes to watch it (oh crap, I did that, shame on me). It's a typical low budget, low energy, low intellect, low entertainment B movie wannabe. It doesn't even strive for mediocre but heads straight for the recycle bin.

Your time is better spent sleeping than watching this yawner. So take it from this review, or take it from all those shills that have posted those strangely positive reviews, it's ultimately your time to waste. I wish I had spent the time sleeping.

The "Escapee" is by far one of the worst movies ever: bad acting, terrible script, repeating lines, no correlation... some lines can't even be understood. The plot is really poor and has a couple of gaps. Then, mistakes in costume, the stage design is cheap and seems that it was set randomly. This is a movie where the whole production apparently simply didn't care and neither did the director or the actors. Certainly there was not one thought put behind this movie. Just by watching the first 10 minutes you will feel disrespected as a viewer because there is no effort put into it, simply mistake after mistake. (We paid $13 for it). This movie is not worth 0.25 cents. AWFUL. DON'T WATCH IT.

I think that this movie is so awful. And of course if you ask me why? I will say that the acting is boring and the plot is so predictable. They bring beautiful ladies to market this film. but they didn't manage to do this. I think that Dominic was good in "Prison Break" but in this movie his acting was so bad (there was no acting at all). All the movie is about killing, killing and killing. But we didn't know why the main character is a killer and why he is chasing an innocent girl. And as we know this girl Did nothing to him. This movie didn't teach us anything or even entertain us that's why I think that I waste my time. Can anybody tells me what did his brother do exactly?

It's hard to imagine, maybe you can, that a group of "Filmmakers" are sitting around and someone (who now would deny it), perks up an says..."I know what we can do...let's make a Slasher/Psycho Movie and not show any of the Murders...the Fans will love it...and since its a Teen-Horror-Flick...we will have no nudity or sex scenes...boy oh boy will the boys be surprised."

If you are serious about making a serious Thriller with no Gore, no Sex, and very little on screen Violence, you better have one Helluva of a Killer Script with Dialog that is insightful and witty, with some surprises and enough suspense to keep things interesting, stay away from Clichés and above all, be Entertaining.

But, there isn't an iota of intelligence, creativity, or freshness in this tired, slow, no thrills, boring, badly Edited, horribly Acted, Valley Girl Scripted (to Moderns still talk like that), and let's not forget, inept Direction. There is nothing here that can be of the least bit of interest to Movie Lovers or Humanity in general. A bona-fide Stinker.

Let me start by saying that I love Dominic Purcell. He was a big selling point for me. Christine Evangelista and Carly Chaikin are also talented actors. Their performances were good.

As for the rest of this movie, there are very few redeeming qualities. The writing is terrible. The dialogue is awkward, the vocabulary of the detectives is unrealistic/inaccurate. (At one point a detective says "Let's take a look at some cop photos") The directing was terrible. A lot of the acting was terrible. There were very few brain cells in this movie. You probably shouldn't watch it if you have a low threshold for stupid.

I just saw the movie ESCAPEE for the second time and I absolutely loved it! I very seldom view a movie twice. I had to go back to see every detail I may have missed. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time! The settings and sound effects gave me the sense of eeriness that pulled me into the story full force! Dominic Purcell's portrayal of the ESCAPEE seeped into my skin and I couldn't get it out of my mind. He had an unforgettable sinister glare that will stick with you!!The plot was filled with unexpected twists and turns. It makes you really think. The decisions that young adults make can sometimes come back to haunt you!! It is the chilling must see film of the year!!! Love it!! The only reason I gave it a 9 rating is that it left me wanting to see more!!

Listen trust me on this one. If you like bad acting bad direction bad and bad acting (Oh sorry did I say that twice?) then watch this movie. I am trying to figure out who paid the other reviewers to say this movie is good. First off the character development of the serial killer was not done very well. We don't know anything about him accept that he is a killer.We know Freddy's story, we know Jason's story whether we agree or not we have some incite into why some serial killers do what they do. The way some of the people get killed is just so plain predictable that I nearly feel asleep on this movie twice. Trust me on this, save 2 hours out of your life and do anything else with that time...

There is no doubt this is not a good film. The plot is weak and choppy, and the premise is ridiculous and so far fetched that it's impossible to suspend even the smallest bit of disbelief.

But that being said, I rather enjoyed this film. I watched it after a particularly vile day at work and it improved my mood considerably. It was so bad, it was funny. The best thing about the film, aside from Dominic Purcell, was the the silliness of the whole thing took my mind off the day I'd had.

Definitely wouldn't recommend it for someone wanting a good/serious thriller but if you enjoy a bad film for the sake of it being a bad film or to make fun of it, then give it a watch.

So, a mentally ill killer escapes the locked institution and pursues some random woman who was visiting the institution with her psychology class. He kills along they way. The woman is unaware of this fact. This allows for her annoying friends to be silly stereotypesnof college characters.

Production is okay. Acting is minimal but enough to be characters. They are rather sedate in the acting, presenting with little panic or push for the crsis situation. But, they aren't convincing enough to really care about them. Plot is a bit one note. The story plays out with a minor twist. But overall this film is rather pedestrian and starter level.

Brilliant movie,With some brilliant shots, great graphic's, excellent and interesting use of sound, the movie looks a million dollars more than its relatively low budget and massive credit goes to campion murphy for showing that you can make so much more from such a simple set up. All of the actors embed their characters with a complex credulity that works well in the scary and surreal situation that they all find themselves in especially faith fords character,It also should serve as an inspiration to horror movie makers as it proves that with creativity and imagination you can make a movie on a low budget which looks and feels like a Hollywood horror but is ten times more original. all in all i would definitely recommend this film to family and friends. This years 2013 must see.

This movie is an excellent thriller. Shot in a Hitchcock type style. Lots of eye candy for the ladies and the men to enjoy. There are several actors and actresses that are beautiful. The plot is occasionally predictable, but overall it will leave you thinking could it really be... I had to give it nine stars instead of ten because of poor sound quality from the conversation scenes between the girls, in the beginning that were shot inside the older home. The actors did a wonderful job. The visuals were stunning and creepy at the same time. Music was perfect. Makeup was wonderfully natural. Costumes well done. Faith Ford as a police detective was totally believable. Her Boss and co-workers were funny-as intended ( I hope). Dominic Purcell did a great job making my skin crawl. Scott Elrod- can put on his police uniform and put me under undress, I mean arrest, anytime. He was a scene stealer, and a pleasure to watch.

Great? good? a must see? wow....guess this is their first movie they watched in their lives, those who said that. I regret wasting my time watching this movie, where all actors seem like robots and act and talk by remote control. Don't waste your time and better spending it in sleeping. Everything in this movie is not acting and the story even not logic and just making us like fools. I wonder, where the director learned to make a movie and where the producers got the money to waste it in this low level movie. I never seen a worst movie than this one in my whole life and never would imagine there are people who wasted their money in making it. once again, don't even try to watch it and waste your time and money. there are many things better to do than watching this bad movie. my rating is -0000000000

Since it's already been said a few times I'll first mention that Escapee does have a certain Hitchcockian quality to it. Like Psycho, it does a good job of blurring the line between horror and suspense and it has twists that you don't see coming. Having said that, I'd probably liken it more to the earlier Halloween movies and the movies they inspired in that era. It's genuinely scary and fun to watch. Also like those movies, it was shot on a lower budget and contains some flubs that really only add to its appeal.

Bottom line, if you're a fan of this type of movie (see Halloween, Terror Train, Prom Night, etc.), Escapee will not disappoint.

A big fan of Hitchcock and horror that keeps an understated mind-game going the entire length of the film, this movie definitely does NOT disappoint! Lots of a-ha moments, that unravel at the end of the film leaving you with a sense of uneasiness. There are cliff hanging suspense moments that give thought that there's more than meets the eye even as final credits roll. Very well done, incredible edits, and a perfectly suited soundtrack make this a great'scary night at the movies'. Casting is believable and strong. New stars born in this film and a steady acting course held firm by the veterans, make this an interesting array of discoveries and familiarity. While JAWS made you want to never go near the water, there is a feeling that this 'land shark' is lurking in your neighborhood...it will make you want to avoid camping trips from now on!

I was home visiting family in Louisiana and decided to go see Escapee. I had heard it was filmed in Louisiana so I went. Boy was I glad to see a great thriller for a change. It was so good and scary! I loved Dominic Purcelll's portrayal of the Escapee! He was so believable and was a great actor. The other actors were not bad to look at either. Also loved how the fright moments got you. You could hear others jumping in their seats. I would highly recommend this thrilling film. I hear it was only a limited release but would like to see it go to other theaters. It is a must see thriller that will stay with you long after you leave the theater. It also had great messages about people making bad decisions.I would say the rating is a 9. Loved it!
