I enjoyed watching it because I knew I'm not getting a masterpiece. These types of movies are always, substance-wise, garbage and offer very little unique-ality. I love escape rooms and the puzzles and the movie actually had some good ones which I WISH would've been more of a centerpiece in the story. They should've wrapped up that endlessly long and boring intro of the van driving and the restaurant scene (which lets be real, didn't really develop any of the characters much) and instead focused more on the puzzles and that eerieness of the rooms, which is what I think most watch these for. That was the only good thing in this movie I'd say. The rest, like acting, unlikable characters, lack of character development (like what happened between the birthday boy and Anderson's wife?), etc was terrible. Also, too slow development, you're halfway through and nothing's happened yet in an 1:30h movie. They should've developed in plot what they saved on sets and stuff. Which was pretty simple to make for a big studio, I assume. Again, a rushed, not well thought out movie. Probably not high budget either considering the acting was ok. Could've been good though, the topic is a fun one for horror movies.
