This is the one that I watched and I’m ashamed to say I liked it. Escape Room 2017 cast includes Skeet Ulrich, Sean Young, and Christine Donlon.Filming: December 2016 and completed August 2017 with a release in September 2017,.Skeet Ulrich is Brice, owner, and operator of the Escape Room. Where usually I am grateful that a movie progresses past the questionable end, I discovered the film was trying to portray a sinister conclusion with an ominous message. Between the two my ratings only change by half a star and neither passes. Of the two, this is the one I thought had more potential but it still wasn’t good. I didn’t much care who lived or died. Review sites tout really low opinions on this film. By the time the final scenes get out, none of the players had particularly grown on me. While this plays out, nothing much happens apart from watching the group work out puzzles. There’s a difference between being ambiguous to create a ‘whodunnit’ vibe and not telling afterward.

In most cases, if the idea is similar, they go under different titles like The Disaster Artist and Best F(r)iends which are both about Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero. Sometimes when a craze is hot (escape rooms), production companies invest in similar scripts around the same time and then have a race to see who can get it done first. Elaborate traps within a horror movie setting are something Mother of Movies personally is on board with. Did you see them both? Despite the overt confusion created by having two movies with the same title, we do love deadly game cinema. Why would two film companies make the same escape room movies with a release date in the same year? Both of these Escape Room movies were released in 2017. ![]()
