What critics compared Insidious: The Last Key to
The film, handily directed by Adam Robitel (“Insidious: The Last Key”), contains its share of cliff-hanging, race-the-clock action bits that test the players’ wits, guts, integrity and loyalty as the story evokes elements of the “Saw” and “Final Destination” franchises as well as a high-tech version of Agatha Christie’s “Ten Little Indians” (minus four, that is) and the old board game-turned-comedy film, “Clue.”
To be fair, once ''Escape Room'' gets done setting up its premise and introducing just enough details regarding the main characters to establish that they meet the legal standards of humanity, the movie has a certain slick style to it that allows it to pass the time in an amiably junky manner and contains one sequence, involving a room designed as an upisde-down barroom, that comes perilously close to being genuinely entertaining, the kind of thing you would like to see in the hands of a legitimately inspired filmmaker and not the auteur of ''Insidious: The Last Key.''
Admittedly, I’m surprised to be typing those words considering director Adam Robitel recently stunk up cinemas with a serving of dreaded January horror cinema in Insidious: The Last Key.
This is the second time in a row that the New Year movie season kicks off with a film by Adam Robitel, who last January offered us “Insidious: The Last Key.”
I felt that this film from Adam Robitel was a lot better than his other films like "Insidious: The Last Key."
Adam Robitel (a director very much yet to find his feet following Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension and Insidious: The Last Key ) and writers Bragi Schut and Maria Melnik start off with an interesting conceit, one that’s still enjoying a boom for parties worldwide; escape rooms.
