Subgenre: Psychological
Underlying Element: mystery | survival
Director: Adam Robitel
Synopsis:
This movie is about six previous winners of various escape room games who unknowingly got together to fight for ultimate survival.
Analysis:
Escape Room: Tournament Of Champions (2021) is the sequel to the 2019 original film. It's more suspenseful because the characters were all experienced survivors and the escape rooms followed a story.
Again, the problem here is the lack of backstory from the participants. It's not enough that they told each other their names and their previous escape room theme. Of course, movies like this make you root for characters you already know.
What saved the movie were the crazier escape room deaths and several twists that made it a little better than the original.
As with the previous one, this movie’s ending calls for part 3 again.
