Escape Room (I) (2017)

An original, suspenseful, tension filled n thrilling Escape room.

[7/10 · 23 September 2017]

I saw this recently on a pirated DVD. Had seen the trailer n liked it. The film opens in a middle eastern desert, creating the atmosphere n the dread when two fellas bury a box. My DVD did not have the English subtitles n most of the Arabic conversation were a bouncer. But the director did a fine job, considering the budget he managed to tell u 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. The director did a terrific job. He managed to create a good blend of shocks, suspense, some brutal deaths n enough tension in a movie which is 80 minutes n set in a small room. The ending is even more scary. Will definitely watch the sequel. The director can make a prequel setting the picture in the 19th century. There is another Escape room which will be releasing in Nov 2017, almost similar but bigger budget.
