hey what's up guys
today I'll show you a psychological horror film: "Escape Room "
spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The film begins with a man looking around in a dim secret chamber
With many lucky efforts, He finally finds his way out
However, there is a strange checkerboard on the front door, with the writing that The End of Story
The man does not give up, and continues to solve the puzzle
As time passes, the walls of the chamber begin to converge towards the center
Finally, the man, who fails to crack the secret code of the chamber,
is completely squeezed into a corner by the constricted chamber
With a scream of despair, the story unfolds three days before the game begins
On a fine day morning, Jason, a business manager, receives a puzzle cube
Jason cannot think of who would send him such a gift
At the same time, Zoey, who is an intelligent college student,
and Ben, who works in the supermarket, also receive the same puzzle cube
As they are usually interested in the decryption type of games,
they quickly crack the code to open the cube
An invitation card is hidden in the mysterious cube,
inviting them to participate in an escape room game
Whoever passes through all the trials will be rewarded with 10,000 dollars
needless to say, all of them are tempted to go by the reward
At the appointed time, Ben arrives at the company,
and bumps into a blonde girl nick-named Blonde, who is a former soldier
When they register at the company counter with their ID,
they are told to surrender their mobile phones
Blonde takes the lift, together with a young man,
who claims to be an escape game expert, called Expert for short
And then, they move to the room, where all other participants gather
The sixth participant is a pudgy truck driver with smelly beards, nick-named MessyBeard
while waiting for the game to start, they get to know more about one another
None of them knows why they are selected for the game
As no staff comes to greet them, Ben cannot sit still
He wants to go out of the room for a cigarette
However, when he tries to open the door, the door handle falls off
MessyBeard steps forward to see what happens
Expert suddenly shouts with excitement that the game has started
According to Expert, the riddle written on the handle is a clue left for them
The rest are set to look for more clues in the room
Soon after, MessyBeard discovers a book with a hidden key in the middle of it
Zoey finds a clue that says number 4 51
She twists the dial on the door into place
Just when everyone thinks that the game is already over, their troubles just start
Once unlocked, scorching rays appear around the room and on the ceiling
Seconds later, the escape room turns into a fiery furnace
Blonde reaches out to the customer service besides the room
However, no matter what she says, the staff only tells her to wait a moment
Expert says that now they must search for more clues
But Ben feels rather irritated, and resorts to putting out the rays with the fire extinguisher
To his surprise, the fire extinguisher is nothing but a model
At this point in time, Zoey spots a key attached to the fire extinguisher
This could be the key to the customer service counter
She tries it with the lock, and it works
To their shock, there is no one at the customer service counter, except a sexy robot
What is worse, their actions trigger another mechanism of the room
Immediately after, all windows are shut tightly
The temperature increases sharply
Blonde is filled with frustration
Zoey observes that Blonde has a huge scar on her back
That is her old injury during her military service
Now that the temperature is shooting up, the wound hurts even more
Learning her pain, Zoey gets a bottle of water for Blonde, and finds another clue on a table
it reads doctor Wootan says, please use the coasters at all times
Zoey is shrewd to realize that the six coasters contain mechanisms
So each of them presses on one coaster
Right after that, a passage is revealed on the ceiling
It is so narrow that only one man could pass it through
Jason is the first to go
He comes back with the report that the exit is blocked
MessyBeard finds a screwdriver, and pries it open
So the six of them climb up one by one
To ensure the mechanism remains working, they place a cup of water on each coaster
However, Zoey then realizes the water supply is cut
They only have 5 cups filled
When they feel anxious for the last coaster, MessyBeard fills the cup with his wine
Having done all that, Ben and Expert get into the passage
Immediately after, the room is swallowed by raging flames
As they escape the deadly attack by the skin of their teeth,
they come to realize such threats are part of the game
At the end of the passage is another escape room in the jungle
Jason manages to find the key, but he cannot unlock the door
Expert speculates that they need to first solve the password
With extensive searching, Ben finds some letter mechanism on the wall, and spells the correct word
That way, he is able to open the door, and let the rest out
When the five evade the room elatedly, the door automatically shuts, leaving Ben in it alone
This is a clear signal to show them the current test is not finished
What lays before them is a frosty forest, with the piercing wind lashing on them mercilessly
They first cuddle together to fight against the cold
Later, they split up to search for clues, so that they can leave this place as soon as possible
Blonde finds a thick coat, and gives it to Zoey, who is shivering
She does that to return her favor
At this time, Ben accidentally breaks the ice on the lake, revealing a hole
Just when everyone feels puzzled,
MessyBeard gladly introduces the fishing rod that he discovers on a tree
Zoey finds a compass on the coat she wears,
and a piece of wood bearing the message, "True north is a lie"
Combining the two clues, she uncovers a key from the polar bear statue
And then, they dip in the fishing rod, to get a secret box from the hole
They are positive that the key hidden in the secret box would allow them to open the cottage
At that moment, an accident takes place
When Expert bends down to pick up Ben's lighter, the ice cracks, and he drops into the lake
Looking at the bottomless lake, they feel sad for the Expert's suffering like a dead fish,
but with no hope to rescue him
Racing against the clock, they put their hands together to thaw the frozen secret box,
despite the great coldness
Sometime later, with their joint efforts, the ice finally melts to give way for the key
To their disappointment, the key does not work and everyone falls into despair
Now night falls, the temperature continues to plunge
When everyone worries about dying in the cold, Zoey discovers a new pathway
At once, they all dash to the gateway
At the same time, the bombs hidden in the lake blast suddenly
Fortunately, the five survivors cross the lake before it collapses
The new stop is a billiard room
Upon arrival, each of them starts to look for hints
Ben is sharp to notice that the number 8 billiard ball is missing
MessyBeard continues to move forward carelessly, but the floor suddenly cracks
Ben grabs him in a pinch, saving his messy life
Now that they understand the billiard room is upside down
Everything is inverted
Noting the risk, the participant sticks their backs to the wall, taking each step with extreme care
Right then, the agile Blonde discovers a safe in a corner
But no one is able to solve the password
Zoey finds a puzzle on the wall
She firmly believes that the password is related to the puzzle
So she plucks up the courage to climb over to the danger zone, to solve the puzzle
Zoey was almost killed in a plane crash
Back then, she survived by staying in the upside-down wreckage
With that experience, she successfully completes the reverse jigsaw puzzle,
and derives the password to be 10 86
Shortly after, Blonde opens the safe with the password, and retrieves the number 8 Ball
And then, a pathway leading to the door is revealed
The room is full of trap mechanisms
Blonde decides to take the risk alone
She attempts to get close to the door, but the number 8 ball drops halfway through
Regardless of the danger, she has to jump to the ground to get the ball
Now, the only remaining tile collapses
In a pinch, she throws the ball to Jason, before she falls into the abyss, killing herself
The rest watches the tragedy in shock and despair
But they know they have to continue with the game
The four survivors enter a surgery room
A few casebooks are found on the table
What is shocking, the casebooks showcase the medical records themselves
It turns out that all the six selected participants have luckily survived disasters in their life
Jason survived a shipwreck; Blonde experienced an explosion;
Ben escaped from a car accident; MessyBeard survived a mining accident;
and Expert experienced gas poisoning
Therefore, It is now clear that the Game Master wants to put the six lucky survivors
into a real life-threatening test
Right then, a five-minute countdown suddenly appears on the television,
indicating that poisonous gas will be released when the time is up
At once, they focus on gathering more information
X-ray photos are the first things they study
Zoey deduces from the gesture on the photo,
that the code to open the channel is obtained by detecting the highest value
on the electrocardiograph
So MessyBeard volunteers to exercise, but his heart rate is not high enough
At this time, the countdown is coming to an end, Jason begins to act selfishly
Despite other group mates' objections, he uses a defibrillator on MessyBeard
Under an electric shock, MessyBeard finally suffocates to death due to the high voltage
However, Jason does not regret it at all
Poisonous gas is already released
Having survived cold seas in the past, Jason takes off his clothes to stimulate his heart rate,
and then uses the code to climb to the entrance alone
Jason's true color is revealed, and Ben is very disappointed
Zoey seems to make some new discoveries, and smashes the monitor in the room
Unfortunately, she starts fainting from inhaling toxic fumes
Seeing the gas all around her, she tells Ben to leave herself alone
At last, Ben enters the passage without Zoey
Next, What awaits Ben and Jason is a mysterious room
As both of them inhaled toxic gas,
they begin to hallucinate when they look at those psychedelic scenes
The two set out to find a cure in a twisted world
With strong willpower, Ben has got hold of the cure
But it is only enough for one person
To ensure his own survival, Jason attacks Ben suddenly
Enraged by this selfish and heartless man, Ben retaliates
The two wrestle together
During the fight, Jason accidentally knocks his head open, and passes out
And then, Ben takes the panacea to enter the last station:
the moving room at the beginning of the film
Cornered, the desperate Ben finds a hidden fireplace
Like this, fortunately, he passes through all the trials,
and meets the Game Master in the control room
Ben learns from their conversation that this game is exquisitely designed as a reality show,
broadcast to the tycoons
They enjoy watching the participants risking their lives to escape each room, and bet on the winner
Game Master is very surprised to see Ben overcoming all the tests
In fact, he expects Jason to make it till the end
When Ben demands a proper explanation, Game Master suddenly strangles him, and prepares to kill him
Ben totally does not see that coming
Though he struggles, he cannot free himself from the hands of the evil one
In a pinch, Zoey shows up out of nowhere, and shoots Game Master, saving Ben
It's revealed that at the toxic gas room, when Zoey almost fainted, she obtained an oxygen mask
So when the staff came to clear the mess, she put them down and evaded through the gateway
In the end, Zoey rescues Ben and enlists the police's help
However, when the police officers arrive at the company, Game Master and his staff are long gone
As toxic gas is found in Ben and Zoey's bodies,
the police officer suspects that the whole thing is merely a hallucination of the two
What is worse, the corpse of Expert, MessyBeard, Blonde, and Jason also disappear
Sometime later, Ben and Zoey are able to lead a simple and peaceful life
But Zoey still remembers the game
One day, she initiates a meet with Ben,
and tells him that the deaths of their partners are covered up by the perfect lies of the company
Zoey manages to track down the head office of this heinous company
It is located in New York
And then, she presents two air tickets, one for herself, and the other for Ben
She asks Ben to join her in pursuing the truth
Meanwhile, a plane crashes as being set up by the sadistic game company
They actually set up such an experiment to lure Ben and Zoey
At last, the ultimate Master Mind of the program,
appears to announce that a more exciting game will now begin
