200 Degrees

I didn't know what to expect when I started this film. The premise of being in an 'Escape Room'-like oven and being forced to transfer money to your captors seems like a fair plot. It opens fairly simply in a large, steel room with massive heat lamps suspended above an unconscious man tied to a chair and what happens thereafter is strangely reminiscent of 'Saw', where a creepy, distorted voice is engaging in psychological torture and giving instructions.

The ending, which was a little surprising, was well executed and reached the logical conclusion. There isn't much left to interpretation.

If you have an hour and a half, I'd recommend giving this one a shot.

I'm burnin' through the sky, yeah 200 degrees That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit I'm travelling at the speed of light I wanna make a supersonic man out of you.

I found the premise of this film interesting but the execution of such could have been better. One cast film are always pretty good and the location here was also good. An industrial kiln that has been specifically created by the villain. In this we have ryan, who wakes up in an industrial kiln with no idea how it happened. A creepy voice very reminicent of saw comes on and wants him to do different things in order for him to be released otherwise the heat will be turned up. I liked this film it was not awful. But what I can't get past is how inacurate the logic is as this guy seems to touch evertthing without burning, but its a decent thriller still overall.

I stuck with it for about an hour but the lead guy was so unlikable that I really didn't care anymore by that point if he roasted alive or not and shut it off. Did he live or die by the end? Who knows, who cares?

Be prepared to spend 90 minutes on the edge of your seat. With excellent production, great casting, and a clever but nerve-wrecking plot, 200 Degrees will have you biting your nails on pins and needles. This thriller is chock full of suspense with twists and turns you will NEVER see coming. Balfour and Cochell give excellent deliveries that will have you anxiously sweating bullets and really feeling the heat.
