No Escape Room (2018 TV Movie) User Reviews

Not SATISFIED!!

[bartu99 · 5/10 · 19 February 2021]

In these kinds of movies the script is more important than acting and directing. I love escape room themed movies but this ones script is not good at all, it is weak. It increases your attention at first but at the end you cannot get what you wish for.

Don't waste your time

[laylan_salih · 2/10 · 16 December 2018]

I am no film pessimist but this film was honestly of poor standard. Initial plot was great, had some weight and somewhat believable. Midway through it then escalates Into being unrealistic and immediately I lost my respect. What is worse the ending doesn't even make sense that I even googled for a plot explanation for which I have come up empty handed. If anyone wishes to enlighten me as to what even happened at the end I would much appreciate it, Regards, NOTSOHAPPYVIEWER

Good but without an ending...

[ginasharp · 6/10 · 27 February 2021]

I liked this movie but the ending (which doesn't really exist) kinda made it fall flat for me. The whole time it has u guessing what's going on and then there is never a "pay-off". Would have probably been a 10 for me if it had actually explained things. There is a mystery type character that never gets explained, this made the movie a non-recommend for me.

Loved It and want a sequel

[hartleyh-98205 · 9/10 · 18 February 2021]

Refreshing to see a different approach and I look forward to seeing a follow up? It was interesting and may have had to much all packed into one film for the average movie goer to appreciate. I loved it and for those of you that didn't like it because you "didn't get it" I suppose that you will never know but for me Im eager to see what happens in the next one...Great Job to all involved and thank you for your creativity!

Not bad for SYFY

[lonnielongino · 6/10 · 27 March 2022]

This is probably one of SYFYs better original movies. Most of their stuff is CGI junk with no storyline. This is more of a supernatural action flick. It's kind of straight forward and doesn't offer many twists until the big twist at the end that sort of ruined the ending. The acting wasn't bad for a TV movie. Interesting enough to keep you watching, but not enough there for a rewatch.

watch again? no. recommend to others? yes

[asanders-45342 · 5/10 · 18 March 2019]

Ugh okay so i honestly enjoyed watching this movie. i personally didn't think it was too predictable and it left me wondering what's going to happen next. my only complaint is that there wasn't any resolution at the end. i still don't know what everything meant and what the heck was happening in the movie. i would recommend it to others JUST to hear their theories on the movie and plot. i think i'd feel a lot better about the movie if there was a sequel of the main characters before they went to the escape room. it felt like there were a lot of holes in the plot and things that were meant to be important to the plot, but made no sense to the viewer! the acting wasn't the best but it was more than decent. i could rate it between a 4 and a 6 so i just chose 5. if you're just looking for an entertaining movie, i recommend. if you like movies that make sense and come to a proper conclusion at the end, this one is not for you.

Not the best, but also not the worst

[chrissy_a-87011 · 4/10 · 6 May 2020]

Overall the film had its gripping moments, but I can't wrap my head around the fact someone decided to write and produce a movie that makes no sense at all. My guess is that it was supposed to leave you hanging with a bunch of possibilities, but instead I was left with a bit of a headache and some mild frustration.

Acting. Oye

[Cgod74 · 28 October 2018]

I'm only 15 mins I to this and I already want the daughter to not survive this escape room. Horrible acting, goodthing the dad is nice to look at.

This movie makes NO sense

[scottbhillier · 2/10 · 19 October 2018]

Its a very interesting concept, but does not stay in the realm of believability. Things happen that are not follow able and it makes absolutely no sense. It has some suspense but that's about it. Ties up zero ends. The ending is creative, but it's not believable at all. Poor execusion.

... but didn't want to

[arcanjl · 6/10 · 1 May 2019]

This received a lot of negative reviews. But I liked it (for horror). There left a lot to the imagination, and nothing was explained, but I didn't care. I like the idea, and loved the rooms they were in, and the horror was just an added bonus. If you like horror movies, this was a fun one to watch, didn't take itself seriously.

Ugh, Stupid

[Rettadm4 · 1/10 · 5 November 2018]

Ugh, precious few hours in a Sunday night watching this. It made no sense so I guess that's why the ending made no sense either. Some suspense, but led to nowhere.

Can't make my mind up

[gloopy-45239 · 6/10 · 25 October 2018]

This was okay in my opinion, not great but better than some titles of this genre out there.The ending left me wondering, is it a concept these days, we have ran out of ideas, so lets just end it at that.Its a watchable film and like alot of others, could have been so much better, if the ending was more wow.Enjoy it, don't enjoy it, everyone of us is different

Fun escapism, pay no attention to the naysayers

[dogma-53668 · 8/10 · 21 August 2019]

Escape room movies are really fascinating as are real life escape rooms. Just sit back have fun watching the characters as they try to figure out each puzzle ... and there will be a twist. Hey, it's a Scy-Fy channel movie what do you want? Much better than watching stupid sharks in a tornado or a bunch of zombies coming in on the big tidal wave like the big kahuna. Ignore the troll reviews, some people just like to complain over everything. If the complainers can do better why aren't they writing scripts LOL

Great concept, mediocre execution

[brycepellatt · 7/10 · 25 November 2018]

The idea of the film is very interesting, but it falls flat on some of the delivery. I would definitely recommend a watch but with low expectations.

Wait, what???

[jammies70 · 4/10 · 18 February 2021]

The movie started out OK. Seemed a bit cheesy, but that's to be expected from a lot of horror movies, right? Decent premise of maybe there is more reality to this than just an escape room... maybe the plot is a true story. But then the movie takes a weird twist and completely loses me. After a while, it makes absolutely no sense, and became a total disappointment.

Pretty bad even for a tv movie

[schofieldius · 3/10 · 23 October 2018]

I'm only giving this a 3 instead of a 1 because it's a tv movie and I feel I should be less critical. It tried too hard to do a lot. But it's just weird and silly in the end. A house with a ghost, time loops and temporal shifts. And dodgy acting. Did have some good suspense which was lost due to sheer silliness

Made for tv dribble that is not at all scary. Not one bit.

[IamJustTellingyouWhatIthink · 3/10 · 24 October 2018]

This made for TV "scary" movie has an interesting premise as many have remarked, but this is totally wasted on this script.

First off the score of the movie indicates its a scary movie.. But who are they trying to scare? Kindergarteners should not watch this and anyone else would find the scares derivative and lame.

Also the obvious pauses for commercials are cringe-worthy. They run up a scene, crank the volume up on the music and then.. 5 seconds of black screen. Then we are BACK!

In summary; mehhh

Definitely avoid this bomb

[Mikep159 · 2/10 · 10 October 2018]

This movie had some potential as it was a fairly new concept. However bad acting, bad actors, and a poor directorial plan lead it nowhere. It made zero sense. Nothing scary at all. Skip this movie.

For what it is, it's actually a pretty good movie.

[petrofied-76427 · 7/10 · 22 February 2021]

Yes, it's a syfy TV movie, no it doesn't answer every question it proposes.

Surprisingly, it does not rely too heavily on "jump scares". Seemed a little cheesy at first, after it ended I was like "really that's it??"

Honestly, though - this one has stuck with me. It's now the next day and I'm still thinking about the movie and the events that unfolded (in a good way, unlike "The midnight sky" which was me still thinking about how gaping the holes in the plot were)

Is this the best horror movie ever made? Absolutely not. Is it a pretty darn good one considering it's a syfy TV movie? Absolutely. My expectations were low but this movie overwhelmingly exceeded them.

Fake reviews!

[morgan-510-873885 · 1/10 · 24 October 2018]

This movie was so bad it motivated me to find my old account details so I could leave my first review. Absolutely garbage plot riddled with unlikable and totally irrational (poorly written) characters and cast with terrible actors. This isn't even a C-list movie. Pretty obvious that any reviews over a 3/10 have been bought and paid for - shameless and scummy tactics!

Nice scary TV movie

[lilkitten01 · 8/10 · 11 June 2019]

It had Good suspense, wish there was more involved with the story line. Then again it's a double edge sword there... to much could ruin the movie... in the end I liked it. Nice psychological horror.

Gaps in the story

[ionvazquez · 6/10 · 8 November 2018]

It is easy to watch, and has a few good moments of scare. However, it has many gaps in the story and it feels too simple sometimes.

Watchable but not great

[lighterthanair-82569 · 4/10 · 12 May 2021]

One of those movies you'll never watch again but it wasn't horrible. As noted in other reviews, not particularly coherent nor clever, but the acting was ok and I was curious to see how the ending played out, which is a good Indication. Not that the ending was satisfying, which it wasn't, haha. Not a bad choice if nothing else is available.

A waste of time

[mdonald-02643 · 1/10 · 16 October 2018]

This is another one of the movies that hope people have no common sense. If you can think of all the stupid decisions a person can make and they put them in the movie. I am not happy with myself for wasting this in my life by watching this train wreck of a movie. Do yourself a favor and do not waste time in your life by watching this brain numbing movie.

Escape from this drivel if you can!

[omendata · 3/10 · 2 March 2020]

Wow so many plot inconsistencies, bad acting and not a lot makes any sense at all.

Its as if they had loads of ideas , stirred them into a pot and out came this nonsene made for tv drivel. I would generally give it a bit of leeway being a low budget tv movie but there is really no excuse for making a movie which has zero scares, no atmosphere, poor acting and nothing that makes any sense whatsoever relating to the outlined plot at the beginning and the end just tops off this turdcake with a big stupid rancid cherry!

Save yourself some grief and even if you did torrent it - avoid it, it is really not worth viewing!
