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

| Original Score: 4/10 | Aug 19, 2024

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 14, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 25, 2023

Escape Room holds frightening puzzles and balanced tension, even in its weaker moments.

| May 13, 2023

The overall plot wasn’t quite clear at times and within the first 20 minutes of the film, the characters were already in the first escape room

| Jan 22, 2023

You learn early on to switch your brain off, but even that can’t cover the ludicrous finale.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 20, 2022

Escape Room is better than most that come out of the January film scrap heap, as long as you give yourself over to a contrived plot that is only worth the price of admission if you are fine with whodunit clichés.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 19, 2022

The movie never involves the viewer in the puzzle or riddle-solving process. The characters rush from clue to clue, and we just watch as they figure it out. It's a passive experience.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 4, 2022

A solid premise and some legitimately thrilling set pieces help to counteract a mixed bag of characters, several of whom are actively deplorable. The film needed more Deborah Ann Woll

| Jul 17, 2021

It's a shocking thing to witness a movie like this do just fine for so long, only to completely collapse right at the finish line.

| Original Score: 2. 5 / 5 | Jun 25, 2021

Escape Room largely makes the most of this concept with a fun if not overly bloody effort.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Aug 30, 2020

Manages to make the most of its killer concept and benefits from set pieces that have clearly been thought out in the best possible way.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2020

[W]hile the overall pastiche has a certain charm for a while, it only lasts so long.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 26, 2020

There's so much quality content out there and so little spare time to enjoy it. Escape Room made me wish I had stayed home and taken a nap instead.

| Jul 24, 2020

Escape Room is in no way a great movie, but it does certainly qualify as a solid effort, and I say that as someone who is rarely forgiving of lazy or idiotic horror efforts.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 14, 2020

It doesn't go far enough with the ludicrous nature of the story.

| Original Score: C | Jul 8, 2020

Escape Room is exactly the movie I expected, as it ticks all the requisite boxes for a January horror film. Its biggest sin is that it really could have been so much more.

| Mar 18, 2020

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.

| Feb 19, 2020

It's little more than a less dreary reincarnation of the Saw formula, but Escape Room does it with enough skill and production value that it makes for a fun, quick-paced diversion...

| Original Score: 3.2/5 | Jan 31, 2020

...It had enough interesting ideas and an underlying commentary on classism to help it stay afloat, but it was ultimately too forgettable to leave an impact.

| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Jan 17, 2020
