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.

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. Feb 6, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

There is some enthusiasm on display at the outset...but the film, possibly prefiguring the response of any rational audience, is soon enervated by its own tiresome premise. Feb 1, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

The film is a knock-off construction with a bit of an identity crisis, marketed as horror but lacking either the Rube Goldberg ingenuity or sick verve of its genre bedfellows. Jan 31, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Nifty, nasty high-concept horror, with dabs of Saw and Final Destination. Jan 31, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

A welcome addition to the small subgenre of horror films where people don't act stupidly under extreme duress. Jan 21, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Escape Room provides just about enough entertainment for the first two-thirds of its running time to get away with being a reasonably enjoyable Saturday night rental. Jun 22, 2019 | Full Review…

There's enough here to suggest that a sequel would not be entirely unwelcome. More Escape Rooms, please. Jun 14, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's not original, yet it delivers tension and scares with confident aplomb. Well worth checking out. Jun 5, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

If you haven't seen Escape Room yet, don't miss out on it, not only because it's a perfect Saturday night at the movies, but also for some fun, sustained suspense, people of colour in solid roles... May 16, 2019 | Full Review…
