Let's Talk about "ESCAPE ROOM" (a movie review)

What's up beautiful people!? :)
Have you ever watched the movie entitled, "Escape Room"?


Around a week ago, I and my younger cousins decided to watch a movie. We didn't have any specific things in mind for as long as it's under the horror or thriller genre. Well, it's a usual thing for us to do so. These kinds of movies are exciting especially if they're with a pinch of psychological/science aura to it. So, while scrolling for movies to watch, we all decided to choose this certain movie, Escape Room.

As most people already know "Escape Room" is a kind of game in which a group of people are trapped inside a room. These people are to find clues which will lead them to find the key to get out in a limited amount of time. I haven't tried it, but it seems an interesting game to play with friends. It'll somehow wake your inner "Sherlock Holmes/Shinichi Kudo" up.

Now, let's talk about the movie.

In the movie, six different people were given an invitation to play the game. They were all given a box as seen in the picture above which they have to somehow solve in order to see the invitation proper.

It's really interesting how the characters are very different from each other. You can somehow tell their personalities by the way the opened the boxes which were sent to them. Just to give an idea, let me describe the six players of the game.

1. Zoey is a very silent or aloof type of person. She is brilliant, yet she's not very gifted in terms of social skills.
2. Ben is what I describe a "I don't want this.. it's so troublesome" type of person.
3. Amanda is a former soldier and is very skillful.
4. Mike is a fisherman. (lol -- his character didn't really have a big impact on me, but it might be on you ^^)
5. Danny is a nerd and is very passionate about escape rooms.
6. Jason... (ugh~ I don't really like his character, tbh. He's so bossy that I just want to punch him in the face. oops)

Upon reading the descriptions I made above, how do you think this group of people will play together? Will they have teamwork or will their individual personalities get in the way?

Well, it wouldn't really be a problem if it was just a normal type of escape room. However, the game that they're in is a matter of life and death. There are various types of room which are truly crazy like rooms with extreme temperatures.If they don't escape, they might get burned or frozen to death.

It's really cool how every room in the movie was designed... to think that they just entered a certain building. I and my younger cousins were so fascinated every time they escape and find themselves in another room.

As the game progresses, viewers will get to know the characters more and why they were chosen to join this crazy escape room.

If you want to get your adrenaline rush without moving, do watch this film! It's exciting and mind-blowing. Even my younger cousins (9-year old boy and 17-year old girl) enjoyed it a lot. Just ready yourself for what's about to happen!

All in all, I enjoyed this film and I can't wait for the second movie next year. I hope it's a good or perhaps better than this one. :)


Thanks for reading and see you again! (^_^)/
