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.

I am pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoy this movie. The plot is old & have seen other versions. The artistry of their sets won me over. Best one of this genre. Intend to watch the sequel, as it is set up beautifully at the end of this film.

While it may present woeful dialogue and some awful character development, "Escape Room" shows sparks of creativity leading to a somewhat immersive experience.

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.

The production design on this film is fantastic... I was dazzled from scene to scene.

The Age (Australia)

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

Escape Room is a fun ride, even with inadequate dialogue. Quite a bit of it consists of characters simply pointing out items as they enter the various rooms. It’s very possible, though, to overlook this because of the rollicking journey that follows.

Rated: 3/4

Escape Room holds frightening puzzles and balanced tension, even in its weaker moments.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

The overall plot wasn’t quite clear at times and within the first 20 minutes of the film, the characters were already in the first escape room
