Despite seeming an awful lot like the sort of horror movie trash that usually gets dumped at the beginning of the year (the third or fourth spooookiest season!), Adam Robitel’s Escape Room was surprisingly good—or, if that’s a little too glowing, it at least wasn’t as bad as some of the later Saw movies. Now, much like everyone who owns some real estate at the local shopping center and isn’t sure what to do with it, Columbia Pictures has decided to give this Escape Room thing another shot.
According to Deadline, Columbia has made nearly $119 million on Escape Room (off of a $9 million budget), and it’s now developing a sequel with Robitel back in the intricately designed, trap-laden director’s chair. Deadline says plot details are “being kept under wraps,” but if we had to guess, we’d say the sequel will involve the evil Dr. Escape Room trapping another group of strangers in an evil escape room. (Yes, we know the mastermind isn’t really called Dr. Escape Room, we just think it’s a funny name.)

“This time we have to escape two rooms!”
This time it’s personal.
Having watched the first one—honestly, yeah.
So how long until this franchise becomes over-encumbered with far too many ridiculous twists and turns like the Saw franchise? And will it eventually feature a Wahlberg and/or Costas Mandylor?

Dr. WOOTAN YU.NO WAY OUT.God this movie was such a piece of shit from front to back and side to side.
Wootan Yu ain’t nuttin ta fuck wit!
I genuinely laughed at that reveal. I thought the film was mostly fine. I went in expecting a horror movie, but it wasn’t that. More of a thriller lite. But I liked that the ending doubled down hard on the big reveal.
Um, I believe you mean PROFESSOR Escape Room.

An escape room horror movie is one of those things I’m actually surprised didn’t happen sooner.
“we know the mastermind isn’t really called Dr. Escape Room, we just think it’s a funny name”… you’d be wrong though.
I want to try this! There is an Escape Room near me https://getoutgames.com/ but I haven’t tried all of their rooms yet. It has 5 rooms and you get to choose which theme you want to be in. For example one of the rooms is called THE HEIST and Another is a REACTOR ROOM. It’s on my to-do list!
