Escape Room (I) (2017)
1/10
I try not to be too harsh, but what the hell was that?

Warning: Spoilers
This movie had potential, but was just a mess from start to finish. From stunted writing, terrible characters and shortsighted plot points that just don't make sense. I try not to be too harsh, especially with horror movies that can be just as good if you turn your brain off, but this was just too full of holes.

Okay, a few notes so far.

1) This award winning escape room is just an empty room with like 4 puzzles. If it wasn't for the killings they'd have been out in 10 minutes.

2) Every single character is loathsome, antagonizing and unsympathetic. The kind of selfish people that when they find a clue they literally put it in their pocket so nobody else can use them.

3) Brice wanted to amp up his escape room so rather than making more puzzles or changing the room he went to a furniture shop and bought a creepy looking box. That is the reason his business is failing, there's no need to take it out on his receptionist.

4) Somehow Brice got the box, drove it all the way to the escape room, put it in the room and sent guests in all without even opening it to see what was inside. I mean, that's just careless.

5) One of the women just said the words "I can't do puzzles, my brain doesn't work that way".

6) This box is one of the most cursed objects in the world (like the doll from Annabelle 🤢) and yet they didn't even put a lock on it.

7) Brice clearly has a mental illness of some sort. Also Brice with a demon in him is still preferable to Brice without the demon, cos he was a garbage human anyway.
