I agree, Zoe’s was natural intuition/ Bens was frustration & luck through destruction or force/ Jason’s showed he has short patience & is willing to just get to the ultimate goal
@@willcooper1112 After all, it's the subtle hints that makes a movie good. Jason was willing from the get-go to reap others' benefits for himself and will stop at nothing to reach success, including murder. He does make an interesting character but I was still rooting for his death lmao. Now that I think about it, he'd probably manipulate Danny if he didn't die first for clues and such so he could have an advantage before betraying Danny.
@@samuelwoodward6567 because people thinks that verified people are commenting are just fishing for subs. Apparently their logic is that "likes = free subs" or something
Just so y’all know, the game master didn’t plan for them to be short water in the first game. Zoe had Amanda drink some water to calm down while she was panicking. So it was meant to have enough water, but Amanda drank some so they didn’t have enough
@@impishlyit9780 You're a jerk. This is a neat detail. If you really get that much joy in ruining other people's fun, go to therapy. Otherwise, think twice before commenting next time.
I always thought Danny was secretly the designer. He knows all about escape rooms, helps get the group started, monitors their early progress then fakes his death to escape. His purpose was basically to make sure the group doesn't wipe right away in the furnace room. That shadowy figure at the end? Totally him.
Something I really like is how Ben grows great skills at these rooms overtime. The first room, he was almost completely useless. But in each room, he was helping more and more, and the time in each room got shorter too. By the last room, he was able to solve a room by himself, with the shortest time available too.
Danny’s death always pissed me off because it felt like it was triggered on purpose, and feeling that way, I considered it to contradict what the game masters were going for. He didn’t guess anything wrong or fail physically he just got blooped.
There’s a theory abt how Danny is the one behind all of this and he just placed him self in side of the escape room so they wouldn’t die in the frist room
@@borkahajdu9606 no, I don’t think it was because of the lighter because in the previous room Ben used his flask to fill up the cup and didn’t get punished
it wasnt really useless because if it was racing the heart up, someone would have died, but they could have done slowing the heart first instead of killing him first. but it made them realize they need to slow down the heart
The beginning of this is a great display of James’s amazing editing. The way he pairs his words with clips is perfect, as things are solid (shows ice) groundbreaking (shows breaking ice floor) and middle (someone in the center of something). Amazing work James I love your content
Mike's death in this made me so sad! Such a loveable character, amongst a group of people that really didn't like to work together, he died being the one to play for the team. Which I think reflected his trauma with the mine collapse quite effectively, as he had to sit helpless to watch his friends die.
@@bubalackgaming8892 Not really, tbh. All the OG final girls like Laurie didn’t lose their timidness during their fight for survival. They just became more resilient, but definitely retained their original personalities by the end.
@@zachengel196 Which is much more realistic. I'll never understand why everyone's so obsessed with badassery, I prefer humans acting like humans and most people aren't badass.
Almost every film these days have a shy girl as their protagonist......... This might be controversial but, She was the only weak character in this movie.
i watched this movie and i agree that it isn't the best, but the thing that made me love it was how they built Zoe and Amanda's friendship. they both went through severe trauma (i mean, all the characters did, but i'm focusing on these two rn) and even though their experiences were different, they still understood how it felt to suffer from PTSD. they found comfort in each other and immediately got along. i can also see a bit of motherly affection from Amanda to Zoe, and the fact that Zoe lost her parents could lead to her seeing Amanda as a mother figure. their bond just means alot to me, i love the way these characters were written edit: i also absolutely adore Ben. the scene that made me love him was after Amanda's death when Zoe was grieving, and Ben was trying to help her calm down while yelling at the other two to just "give her a minute". i think he was able to pick up on how Amanda and Zoe cared for each other despite not knowing each other, and he was willing to validate Zoe's grief over her instead of being like "she was a stranger bro get over it". Ben is such a sweet guy despite how edgy he was at the start
I was DELIGHTED to see you citing Deborah's credentials as a DM in addition to her acting work! I used to help mod the fan discord for Relics and Rarities, and she was just the kindest, sweetest lady. She'd show up to talk to the fans after the episodes aired, and randomly drop in pictures of her dogs! Lovely, classy lady.
@@KINGJERMARCUS Dude if u really want your music to change the world you can start by turning on the Like and Dislike ratio because when it's turned off it looks like you only get dislikes and therefore ruins your reputation with the viewer before the song's even started, compelling them to dislike your video and exit your song. So turn on Like and Dislikes.
Just checking the comments to see if anyone else caught that xD Outer Wilds is one of my favorite games ever and I've seen this review a dozen times, this is the first time that actually jumped out to me!
I thought this was a meme. But it’s actually true. This implies that their have been other rooms with people who have won and didn’t get killed at the end. Who goes through a near death escape room and thinks “let’s do it again”
You know whats frustrating about the end? The fact the characters don't believe the shadow escape room people don't have them under some kind of surveillance and taking a plane is probably the worse way to travel in their situation
I love how he has a sound and warns people of flashing lights every single time it happens in the video it’s just one of the reasons I love this channel
I don't know if it was intentional. There's a quote by Victor Frankl mentioning something similar with his time in a holocaust camp. "The best of us didn't make it" (something to that effect). He specifically spoke that some of the first people to die in the camps were those selfless and courageous like Amanda's character. Fun movie
I normally hate the "but they didn't REALLY die" trope in sequels, but I wouldn't mind at all if Amanda comes back in a sequel in some way. I really liked her and there's a perfect excuse for her to live set up.
I have a feeling that Danny didn't really die. He was an expert at escape rooms, he did over 90 rooms and he walked right past the guy that confiscated Amanda's phone and he just let him go. Plus he was the first one to die and when he was under the ice he went directly to where the vents were. Meaning that's where the rest of the team pulled him from the ice.
@@bencecoconutcreeper8830 Very unlikely, the fall was long enough for her to die or have all her bones broken. But if we're talking about luck then it can happen, like the person who jumped without a parachute and survived with minor injuries. I liked the character, hopefully she comes back in some form.
@@carlotobias3470 I think what they're trying to say is that Amanda would have never been the final girl, because she's white, whereas Zoe is black. Which is a stupid argument, because by that logic, Jason would've survived too, as he was also black.

@@leprem3940 Not too long. The door was kind of stuck - turned out we didn't push hard enough. Kind of anti climactic, but at least we didn't die (◡ ω ◡)
@@thefoolishjester5125 Imagine you're in an airplane then the oxygen masks come down and everyone, without hesitation, begins to wear them as hats, for no reason.
Not fun fact: in the movie there's a scene that has a newspaper where i read that: "teenagers died in a burning Escape Room". In Poland at the same time a group of teenagers died in a Escape Room. (Edit: IN REAL LIFE) Pretty fucced up.
Plus Amanda did use Danny's phone and showed that it didn't have signal in the rooms, plus the other RED phones are wired and don't rely on signal/reception.
I’ve been watching the “Dead Meat Shorts” channel and I’m really enjoying their content! Just wanted to say a big thanks to James for allowing this channel to stay on RUclips, let alone help it grow and allow it to make channel announcements! Thanks James :D
Can I say, after Saw and Cube, it's so nice to see one of these types of movies where the characters are smart and mostly not assholes, actually working together? Very welcome change of pace.
@@KINGJERMARCUS Not sure about changing the world. AMVs are pretty niche even now as the fandom is at it's peak. But they're not bad. Do more lovey dovey couple stuff if you want more views, those always get at least 50k
@Ionasku Alexander What's that gonna be called, Champion of Champions? Or is the twist that the winner of the second movie has to set up the game for the third movie?
This is like a really small detail, but I loved that James mentioned defibrillators are made to stop your heart instead of start it or heighten it. I always point that out like the little know it all I am and it's nice to hear someone else say it so I don't feel like a complete asshole.
I'll admit this movie has great set design. I just don't care for the trope of the all-knowing puppetmasters behind the scenes with impossible knowledge.
Same like I loved the whole “lone survivors” theme but how on earth would they know that that one guy drowned his friends when they were abandoned at sea??
@@alexiap1279 I don't think they did, I think they just chose who was the luckiest and since he was the sole survivor, they chose him for the game. he just happen to be a murderer
As someone who's never done escape rooms: I honestly loved this movie. I also really love the small details that foreshadow the reveal that the game runners know everything about the participants. Like the taxidermied wolf that points Mike to the fishing rod has heterochromia, just like his old dog.
As someone who also never done escape rooms I really hated this movie. The characters to me were pretty blend and stereotypical and the movie itself is pretty boring. It overall just reminded me of a fake deep movie trying to hard, especially at the ending and it really asked me to suspend my disbelief a little too far especially with the ending.
0:55 "and while the overall plot isn't exactly anything groundbreaking" *shows scene of guy falling into water after ice cracks* this kind of editing is why I love kill counts.
Sure, the Saw traps were amazing, but in my opinion the level of detail and work that must have gone into creating these rooms, both in real life and in the movie is way more impressive than the saw traps
In the first room, the fist two heaters didn’t have to be turned on, because the triggers were the lock on the door and the fire extinguisher being out of place. The last heater, however (that burned the room down) was triggered by the empty water filler that they had to use to fill up the cups to put on the coasters. But, since they triggered the heaters, Zoey went to grab Amanda some water to calm her down, which resulted in them having just barely enough water to fill up the cups. Which makes me think, what if the heater were never turned on by the players? They would have enough water and water filler would still have some water in it, resulting in not triggering the last heater to burn it all down. That way, the survivors would still have proof when to got out to show the police.
watching this in class was truly an experience. i didn’t like my class but everyone getting together and trying to figure out how to win was such a fun thing
What’s with these verified people and the auto generated bot comments? Get a real job if you’re that desperate for money. Your channel is literally just spam.
Saw would have been easier to stomach if people(mostly fans) didn't try to make it out like JiGsAw DoEsNt TeChNiCaLlY KiLl AnYoNe, He LeAvEs A PaTh FoR EsCaPe!!!!" And then they had the one movie with all that painfully ont the nose dialogue about health care lol At least "escape room"is a concept that can say "hey, let's just make this a FUN movie" if they decided to, and don't have to get so hung up on torturing the audience.
Honestly prefere this one over Saw. Sure, the Saw story is interesting with it's twisted morals and stuff, but Escape Room has me rooting for the characters more and a more interesting design in my opinion.
@Sage Slopnick home invasions usually can be relatively easily prevented by having a secure panic room, except if theyre very sneaky or you're sleeping aha . But for the purge case yeah good luck.
I like how you praise the work of set designers, practical effects artists, etc and recognize their talent and hard work. Even when you roast a film you still find something positive to to say about it.
Trust me, they lose their effect after so many. I spent the first 30 years of my life avoiding them, they gave me horrible nightmares regardless if I was scared or not. When covid lockdown hit i needed content. I have watched over 200 horror films/shows in the past year and a half. I noticed Im far more calm in the dark than I used to be ad well.
@@cullenavent6585 It often is when it comes to Horror movies as it sacrifices alot of horror movie elements with there obviously being exceptions, this movie in my opinion was shitty, I agree it has decent set pieces but there is so much illogical bs and plot holes in this movie it completely pulled me out of it.
Now all I can imagine is an escape room themed after this movie that, well... doesn't brutally murder you. more or less you just lose and leave the building
Dude seeing Tyler Labine so many years after voltron's release was like a punch in the gut....I love him as Hunk and he did such a fantastic job in both that and this movie
You see the planes blow up on screen, though (both Brightburn and FD). The mineshaft (or the Afghanistan bombing or the boat accident for that matter) doesn't happen onscreen. The movie only shows scenes immediately after those events. (Alternatively, James will just say it's his show and do whatever he wants).
I love it that you talk about the behind the scenes and how these movies get made in your videos. I love art and making things and these really inspire me to work more on art and makes me want to work as a set designer or a practical effects artist.

I always thought Danny was secretly the designer. He knows all about escape rooms, helps get the group started, monitors their early progress then fakes his death to escape. His purpose was basically to make sure the group doesn't wipe right away in the furnace room. That shadowy figure at the end? Totally him.
That's pretty smart, would be kinda cool as well.
its a good theory, but they found his body at the end of the movie, shown in the articles that zoey had
@@samflower4534 they set up and tore down an insanely elaborate murder maze before the cops even showed up. They can fake a body.

There’s a theory abt how Danny is the one behind all of this and he just placed him self in side of the escape room so they wouldn’t die in the frist room

I really want James to make a Kill Count episode of a horror movie where no one dies. Just to troll everyone.
He did, Evil Bong. And for actual "trolling" he did that Boy Meets World episode.
There is another April Fools Day (1986), not to be confused with the working title for Slaughter High, which was released the same year.
Like the Conjuring?
I think a Kill Count that ends with just 1 kill could be considered as a troll moment.

Not fun fact: in the movie there's a scene that has a newspaper where i read that: "teenagers died in a burning Escape Room". In Poland at the same time a group of teenagers died in a Escape Room.
(Edit: IN REAL LIFE)
Pretty fucced up.

How did they die?
@@eylonavraham8921 think it was some malfunctioning cable that caught fire. the room itself also had a very low security standard and was derelict.

It seems that cell phone service is just merely an imagination in horror movies.
That's how it be
I would assume the Minos company installed cell phone jammers so that people wouldn’t be able to call for help if they snuck a phone in
Plus Amanda did use Danny's phone and showed that it didn't have signal in the rooms, plus the other RED phones are wired and don't rely on signal/reception.
1. they weren't allowed to bring phoned into the escape room
2. there was no service

There is a escape room that is based off this with the same producers but it’s not really a escape room
Can I say, after Saw and Cube, it's so nice to see one of these types of movies where the characters are smart and mostly not assholes, actually working together? Very welcome change of pace.
i loved the movie because there was no blood or gore,but still they menaged to make a movie scary without giving it blood or gore
Mike is the kind of character that you _know_ is going to die but it still hits you like a truck when it happens because he’s just so likeable!

I wasn't a fan of how the ending feels like the beginning of a sequel lol.
Then thank God there's going to be an actual sequel lol
I guess they were banking on this first movie doing well enough at the box office to warrant a sequel.
@Ionasku Alexander What's that gonna be called, Champion of Champions? Or is the twist that the winner of the second movie has to set up the game for the third movie?
I mean, that’s kind of the point
@@Midnight-Starfish You were close it’s Tournament of Champions
Can’t wait for James to do the second movie I feel like he’s going to be a little mad tho
This is like a really small detail, but I loved that James mentioned defibrillators are made to stop your heart instead of start it or heighten it. I always point that out like the little know it all I am and it's nice to hear someone else say it so I don't feel like a complete asshole.
Wellll they are made to start a heart, they just stop a beating heart
I love cardioversion
So that would cause death?
No they allow the heart to restart on its own
@@jennyscookingchannel3079 oh
I'll admit this movie has great set design. I just don't care for the trope of the all-knowing puppetmasters behind the scenes with impossible knowledge.
Same like I loved the whole “lone survivors” theme but how on earth would they know that that one guy drowned his friends when they were abandoned at sea??
@@alexiap1279 I don't think they did, I think they just chose who was the luckiest and since he was the sole survivor, they chose him for the game. he just happen to be a murderer

Same with rudolph song they were singing when ben crashed the car. No one could know
@@charlottevervoort4483 exactly
They should’ve put it in the same universe as Belko Experiment cause that’s definitely what it feels like.
Rewatching this kill count unknowingly on the release date of the second movie in the US. Neat.
"-and while the overall plot isn't exactly anything *groundbreaking..."*
**Shows a character falling through ice.**
I hope that was intentional.
When Amanda had those burn scars on her neck, you could’ve said “better Protect ya Neck” another wu tang joke
I thought that too
As someone who's never done escape rooms: I honestly loved this movie. I also really love the small details that foreshadow the reveal that the game runners know everything about the participants. Like the taxidermied wolf that points Mike to the fishing rod has heterochromia, just like his old dog.
As someone who also never done escape rooms I really hated this movie. The characters to me were pretty blend and stereotypical and the movie itself is pretty boring. It overall just reminded me of a fake deep movie trying to hard, especially at the ending and it really asked me to suspend my disbelief a little too far especially with the ending.

Escape room: Wow, we’re good at making puzzles
Jigsaw: Hold my puppet
Sure, the Saw traps were amazing, but in my opinion the level of detail and work that must have gone into creating these rooms, both in real life and in the movie is way more impressive than the saw traps
This movie had a good premise and had good plot points, but the overall result could've been better....though I am looking forward to its sequel
i agree
In my opinion, it really brought out the mixture of puzzles and suspense at the same time. Let's hope the sequel will be even better.
0:58
"while the plot isn't anything ground breaking"
shows someone falling through the ground
I see watcha did there
In the first room, the fist two heaters didn’t have to be turned on, because the triggers were the lock on the door and the fire extinguisher being out of place. The last heater, however (that burned the room down) was triggered by the empty water filler that they had to use to fill up the cups to put on the coasters. But, since they triggered the heaters, Zoey went to grab Amanda some water to calm her down, which resulted in them having just barely enough water to fill up the cups. Which makes me think, what if the heater were never turned on by the players? They would have enough water and water filler would still have some water in it, resulting in not triggering the last heater to burn it all down. That way, the survivors would still have proof when to got out to show the police.
Who else mimics James whenever he say's his catchy little intro?
Yes! Same

I like the concept of Escape Room. It’s like Saw but without the pretentiousness, and it’s honestly more interesting visually then the Saw series
Saw would have been easier to stomach if people(mostly fans) didn't try to make it out like JiGsAw DoEsNt TeChNiCaLlY KiLl AnYoNe, He LeAvEs A PaTh FoR EsCaPe!!!!"
And then they had the one movie with all that painfully ont the nose dialogue about health care lol
At least "escape room"is a concept that can say "hey, let's just make this a FUN movie" if they decided to, and don't have to get so hung up on torturing the audience.
@@mutt9779 Honestly with its incredible room designs I’d say Escape Room is the perfect competitor to Saw
Honestly prefere this one over Saw. Sure, the Saw story is interesting with it's twisted morals and stuff, but Escape Room has me rooting for the characters more and a more interesting design in my opinion.
Its like if saw was made by a grossly incompetent committee with too much budget and not enough vision.

The passengers on the plane in brightburn- 👁👄👁
same story with the final destination sieres
You see the planes blow up on screen, though (both Brightburn and FD).
The mineshaft (or the Afghanistan bombing or the boat accident for that matter) doesn't happen onscreen. The movie only shows scenes immediately after those events.
(Alternatively, James will just say it's his show and do whatever he wants).
