I think this is about the third escape room based horror movie I've seen, and I'm **preeeeeeetty sure** it's the best one? _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

Full review: <a>https://www.tinakakadelis.com/beyond-the-cinerama-dome/2021/12/28/out-of-the-box-escape-roomnbspreview<a> _Escape Room_ is a horror-movie take on the puzzle-solving fun of escape rooms currently sweeping the United States. Granted, the popular real-life escape rooms do not have an added element of death, but _Escape Room_ the movie does not shy away from quite a few grisly murders.

This is really about some amazingly inventive visuals as we follow some well-deserving egotists and miscreants who find themselves caught up in lethal, industrial scale, version of the "Adventure Game". They've been lured by the prospect of winning quite a measly $10k, so we ought not to be surprised by the quality of entrant for this adventure as they must pit their collective wits against a designer from hell. The whole point of the game, though, is that they do have a chance, if they can think quickly enough on their feet and/or play pool upside down. It might well work fine as a video game…
