What to Know

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.

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. Go to Full Review Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (LAist) 09/13/2019
The production design on this film is fantastic... I was dazzled from scene to scene. Go to Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) 02/06/2019
2.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Surya Komal Just for Movie Freaks Jan 6

A missed opportunity and comes nowhere near the entertaining movies this genre had produced over the years. Go to Full Review David Day Horror Movie Talk Aug 8

Escape Room is a fun enough movie, but it’s nothing special. Watch it with friends and you will have a good time. Watch it alone at your peril. Go to Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine 08/19/2024

Rosie Feb 15 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! See more Engin O 07/21/2023 Terrible acting, terrible writing. Just go watch any saw movie instead, I promise you they are better See more MyFantasy Z @Thumbsupreveiws Dec 21 It was a basic plot with simple characters, but the traumatic horror elements dive deeper into psychological horror. However on paper it sounded much more interesting and unique but the poor writing and bland casting kind of ruined it. Definitely not a horror masterpiece but it’s entertaining enough to be a C tier film at least. See more Josh C. @Jcomp18 Nov 26 Idk why but it’s the scariest thing k have ever watched See more Isabella D. @isapills Nov 7 pretty decent movie overall; had some really good and boring parts equally. enjoyed the concept even though it’s not a unique idea. ending was pretty good though imo ! See more TI H @MeInCharacter Oct 22 I groaned when Taylor Russel's character, one of our two protagonists, first started delivering the dialogue that is meant to tell the audience she was a genius. It wasn't the only sloppy storytelling technique. Had the moviemakers taken the time to smooth out the rough spots, ESCAPE ROOM could have become a classic. The most horrifying part of the story is when we see the influence of puppet masters with too much money on their hands. What we see in the "escape room" might be fiction, but it doesn't necessarily have to be. Sadism, unchecked wealth, no oversight. . .it's what has brought our world to the abyss.
