WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Six strangers are invited to complete a series of immersive escape rooms, but soon discover that they are surrounded by deadly traps and must now use their wits to solve the puzzles and survive…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Escape Room takes the popular activity and makes a chilling, intuitive and entertaining horror movie out of it, kind of like a Saw film only (presumably) without as much gore.
