Escape Room

I don't really pay attention to reviews for movies. I regret listening to all the awful reviews and giving this a shot. It was one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. I rented it for 5 dollars and I'm more upset about the 2 hours I wasted with this than the money I spent. It consists of some of the worst acting I've ever seen. The only reason I kept watching it was because I thought the ending would kind of explain all the crap I've watched but it doesn't. It just simply ends. I don't even want to give this movie any more of my time with a bad review because 1 star is still doing it justice.

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.

I saw this recently on a dvd.

Had seen the trailer n liked it. The film opens in a middle eastern desert, creating the atmosphere n the dread.

The director did a fine job considering the budget n he managed to tell the story about the box n its evil thru the actions of the two desert fellas n some thru the opening credits.

After the opening credit, our film moves to Los Angeles, where four friends plan to take a trip to an escape room. A tight confined room compared to the open desert. The room has no phones, no wireless, and it is completely sound proof. No neighbors or outsiders will be able to hear your scream once the action starts. As for the cctv u have to watch the movie. I don't want to spoil it. One death scene is very brutal, the scissor in the head one.

The makers can make a prequel setting the picture in the 19th century.

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.

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!
