There’s no escape from this week’s episode, where we test our luck and revisit the familiar but fun 2019 horror hit “Escape Room”.

A group of randos from different walks of life all receive mysterious invitations to try a brand new elite escape room with a prize of $10,000 going to the first one to complete it. Little do they know it’s really the plot of Hostel, where Richey-riches watch them fight for their lives through deadly traps and puzzles with no intention of giving the winner a thing.

Escape Room is a 2019 American psychological horror film directed by Adam Robitel and written by Bragi F. Schut and Maria Melnik.

In the film, six unlucky victims are sent to navigate a series of deadly escape rooms: Zoey, a physics student; Jason, a wealthy daytrader; Ben, a stockboy; Mike, a truck driver; Amanda, an Iraq War veteran; and Danny, an escape room enthusiast. They seem about as different from each other as possible, but something connects them beyond their involvement in a sinister game of life and death.

Despite receiving mixed reviews, the film was a hit thanks to its fun premise, great cast, and intense atmosphere. But does it escape criticism from Chaos and Carnage? Tune in to find out!
