I think five of the six are inspired to take part in the escape room because there’s a promise that, if you solve it, you get $10,000. There’s Zoey (played by Taylor Russell), a young, shy college student Jason (played by Jay Ellis), a wealthy daytrader Ben (played by Logan Miller), a grocery store worker Mike (played by Tyler Labine), a middle-aged, existential crisis truck driver Amanda (played by Deborah Woll, who it took me way too long to realize was in Daredevil!) and Danny (played by Nik Dodani), who is the “expert” at escape rooms. The sequel to the 2019 film just came out recently, Escape Room: Tournament of Champions.Īnyhow, the plot of this film follows six people, who were presented with a puzzle cube by people they trusted, or at least, it seems like the cube came from those people (we later learn that that, too, was a ruse). Since then, there’s been something like eight. The 2019 film, directed by Adam Robitel, was apparently made by Robitel because at the time in 2017, there were no movies about escape rooms.
#Room movie escape how to#
The general gist of an escape room is that a number of people are “locked” inside a room with a certain theme, like WW1 battlefield or a zombie outbreak, and using clues in the room, they have to figure out how to “escape.” It sounds fun, huh? To be fair, I don’t know why I’m so excited to try one of these because I suck at puzzles and such, but it still sounds fun! So, full disclosure, I’ve never done an escape room, even though I’ve always desperately wanted to do one. And for people who think PG-13 horror can’t be intense or fun, then this film proves you wrong. Going in, I fully expected it to be what I call “dumb fun.” No, this movie was genuinely good! Good horror! Good suspense! Good drama! And it actually had real characters and a real story? Add in the elaborate, “fun” puzzles and the special effects, this surprised the heck out of me.
I have to admit, I was a bit shocked at how much I enjoyed 2019’s Escape Room.
