6/17/2023 0 Comments Escape room 2019 ending![]() ![]() When it comes to horror, movies with a PG-13 rating are often seen as lesser because they are not able to fully embrace the gore that comes with an R rating, which the Saw movies exploited to great effect. While Escape Room on the surface might seem like a toned-down version of Saw, Escape Room stands apart as its unique fun franchise. Both films also have a certain level of righteous frustration with capitalism, with Saw having a few critiques of the American healthcare system while Escape Room makes clear comments on how the 1% are not only above the law but use the other 99% misery for their own amusement. This drew a lot of compassion to the Saw movie franchise, a popular horror series where people are put into elaborate death traps they need to solve but with more emphasis put on gore and shocking the audience. The central premise of both Escape Room films follows a group of individuals who are lured to what appears to be a normal escape room but instead are complicated death traps they need to solve to survive. It went on to gross $57 million domestically and $155.7 million worldwide off of a comparatively tiny $9 million budget and later spawned a sequel in 2021's Escape Room: Tournament of Championswhich opened in theaters on July 16, 2021. However, the film was well-regarded among horror fans for the over-the-top embrace of its central gimmick. With the first week of January release date, it seemed like a movie the studio was dumping to get out of the way at the beginning of the year, surely to be overshadowed by the holiday holdovers. Released in 2019, Escape Room was a surprise horror hit. ![]()
