Cinema Slut #2019 - Escape Room

I had Escape Room on my list of to see films since it landed. The sessions were reduced week two, so I was happy when I caught a 10.10am session Sunday.

Escape Room has actually been a box office smash, taking in almost $120M against a budget of slightly under $10M

The biggest star of Escape Room is Jessica from True Blood, Deborah Ann Woll or is she now better known as Karen Page from the Netflix Marvel shows?



Anyway Escape Room holds it's suspense, delivers a great thriller and avoids using over gory scenes that Saw used in the past. This was a fairly simple film but extremely well executed.

The editors also did a magic job keeping the plot rolling and film at a neat 100 minutes.

Films generally drag on for way too long, forget to get to the plot or deliver an unsatisfying ending, Escape Room succeeds on all these accounts.

Jay Ellis from Insecure continues to be a handsome almost lead and Deborah Ann Woll is extremely convincing in her role.

I enjoyed this thriller, it leaves it wide open for a sequel and like Happy Death Day, this is one of those low budget films that just seems to soar!

Well done, 3.5 Stars.
