What starts out as seemingly innocent fun soon turns into a living nightmare as the four men and two women discover each room is an elaborate trap that's part of a sadistic game of life or death.

Critics Consensus

Escape Room fails to unlock much of the potential in its premise, but what's left is still tense and thrilling enough to offer a passing diversion for suspense fans.

Ben Sachs

Chicago Reader

The cast projects a generic, 50s B-movie vibe, but in a good way; no one character is especially likable or unlikable, and this keeps you guessing as to whom the filmmakers will kill off.

The production design on this film is fantastic... I was dazzled from scene to scene.

Escape Room is not anything to get terribly excited about. But where suspense is concerned, the premise works: even when the trajectory of the story is easy to predict, there's no knowing what may be hidden behind any specific locked door.

Rated: 2.5/5

... A film whose only idea to convey is the need to escape from the movie theater. [Full review in Spanish]

If cool concepts alone made for good films then I’d be writing a very different review for Escape Room.

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

Escape Room is a fun ride, even with inadequate dialogue. Quite a bit of it consists of characters simply pointing out items as they enter the various rooms. It’s very possible, though, to overlook this because of the rollicking journey that follows.

Rated: 3/4

It was good as far as escape room movies go, but it wasn’t a new idea or anything super unique. I enjoyed it though!

It's a creative premise and suspenseful atmosphere, but falls short in terms of depth and character development. Directed by Adam Robitel, the movie follows a group of strangers who are invited to participate in what they think is a fun, high-stakes escape room, only to quickly realize that the puzzles they must solve are deadly and designed to kill. There aren't any major overall complaints from me, I just feel like there wasn't anything that could've made this a fantastic movie. And for me that's all this movie was lacking. I honestly didn't like that they put that first foreshadowing scene in there.

Had to skip the first 20 minutes of boring nonsense where characters are introduced in the slowest way possible. The actors are good but very weak script and overall just far too unrealistic and very very very stupid at times. Quit half way through.
