2023 Horror Challenge: [10/?]
↳“Survival is a choice.” Escape Room (2019) dir. Adam Robitel
Plot: Six strangers find themselves in a maze of deadly mystery rooms and must use their wits to survive.
Starring: Taylor Russell, Logan Miller, Deborah Ann Woll, Tyler Labine, Nik Dodani, Jay Ellis & Yorick van Wageningen,
Okay, it has been entirely too long since my last watch for the challenge (somewhat nearing 3 months) and I felt like getting back into it with an easy double feature helping of the Escape Room movies just because. lol I never really felt drawn to them in the past tbh but I saw Hulu had the first one available and I figured why not. And you know, maybe it got me in the right mood that I didn't mind it for what it was. It's like a not-so-gory version of Saw and it's messy and far-fetched but I do think it was able to build some tension. Helps it had a good cast with some familiar faces, which is always nice. The opening is definitely attention-grabbing imo. The puzzles are very well-done. But it does get into being predictable as the story goes along and hmmmm about that ending. Especially since I've already seen the second one by the time I'm writing this review. And I'll get to why that's interesting when I write that one, but for this one, I actually don't think it was that bad. I've definitely seen worse. It mostly had my attention so there's that. If you can go in with low expectations and take it for what it is, it can be a fun watch I'd say.

Interview: Tyler Labine (Escape Room, Tucker and Dale vs. Evil)
Actor Tyler Labine sat down to discuss his work in Escape Room, which is now available on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital via Sony Pictures. He also provides an exclusive update on the status on the long-gestured Tucker and Dale vs. Evil sequel and more.
Can you begin by telling us how you got involved with Escape Room and what attracted you to the project?
Honestly, it was the mystique. They were not releasing a script at the time. I was really into escape rooms. I thought it was a really great idea to make a movie about escape rooms, and I thought the character was going to be fun, so I really had to base it on those factors. We didn't even get to read the script until we arrived in South Africa, about three weeks before we started shooting. I had to go on the fact that I really loved escape rooms. I knew someone was going to do it, so I thought, "I should be involved in that. I think it's going to be great."
Since you were familiar with escape rooms, how did you feel the script captured the experience of doing one once you were able to read it?
I think the script and what ended up on the screen were very different. The script was good. It was very strong with a lot of great stuff in there. But once we all got there and started rehearsing, we realized that there were things that needed some adjustments. Once the cast and Adam Robitel [director] got our hands on it, it all got elevated and turned into a much more cohesive piece. And I'm not saying that to toot our own horns; it was a real collaboration. I thought the script really had captured the essence of why we liked to do escape rooms, which is the tension. That's what I think a lot of movies miss, especially thrillers. I'm like, "Where's the tension, man?" This movie was tense! I think they really nailed that.
The characters in the film purposely have conflicting personalities and come from different backgrounds. Did you find any of yourself in Mike, or did you notice anyone else in the ensemble cast resemble their character?
Mike was really not much on paper, to be honest. There wasn't much to do. Adam let me ad-lib a ton. I'd say 50% of what I did in the film was just me messing around, so there's a lot of me in Mike. But it's a version of me that I do not trudge out very often. It's that overtly sweet, endlessly caring team player. That's part of me, but we can't all go through life like Mike or we'd probably all end up dead as well. [laughs] There were parts of me that I really liked exaggerating for that.
As far as the other actors being like their character, they were all such archetypes. They were broad generalizations of the six different tropes that you want in a movie like this, so I think what really worked was the casting. It was great in that they put actors in there who would portray more than just that trope. Everybody put a big chunk of themselves on the screen to make this movie work.
What was it like filming in South Africa?
It was outstanding. I have to say, though, 11 weeks in South Africa when you have three small children and a wife who are not with you is difficult. I feel like every time I watch something like Top Chef or Survivor, I'm like, "Come on, you wimps! You've been away from your family for eight weeks. Boo-hoo!" I know what that feels like now, and you do want to cry. [laughs] I have empathy forever now.
South Africa was beautiful. What a place to go visit and basically live for three months. We did lots of touristy things. We watched whales and went to Johannesburg and ate lots of good food. I really love the people. I love how welcoming a lot of the people that I met in South Africa were.
One of my favorite films of yours is Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, so I have to ask: is the sequel that's been discussed on-and-off for years is still a possibility?
Oh, thank you. Yes. We're working on something right now. I wouldn't call it a film sequel, but the story is not done being told. I can't really tell you much, but we're in development with a couple things right now. Things are looking pretty good. Alan [Tudyk] and I are both still on board, along with Eli [Craig, director/co-writer]. We're just trying to line up a few pieces. It's just a matter of timing. We're going to get something to the fans, because that's really the only reason we want to do it. No one's getting rich off this thing. [laughs] Alan and I have always been like, "Whatever we do has to be for the people that stuck with it and made it what it is." That's all the fans. Hopefully something will come to fruition.
As one of those fans, that's very exciting. What do you think it is about the film that has made it stick with people?
I think it was totally fresh. We hadn't seen a ton of horror comedy - "horromedy," as I call it - like that that had been executed that well. I think Eli and Morgan [Jurgenson], the writers of the movie, did something that everyone, after they watched it, was like, "Why haven't I thought of that?" or "Why haven't I seen that before? That was so obvious and ripe for the picking!" But they did it first. I think it really stands out and has lasted the test of time because it was a very original piece. That makes something timeless.
You have a lot of experience in both television and film. Do you have a preference between the two mediums?
They both have their pros and cons. I'm doing a TV show [New Amsterdam] right now that just got picked up for its second season, and it's a 10-month gig each year. It's a long haul. You dive in, but you play this character in these long chunks. When you're doing TV as an actor, you don't really need to write a big backstory and have these revelations about your character, because you actually are learning as you go. They're writing your arc, and you're all figuring it out at the same time, and that's fun. It's like a ride that you all go on together.
But with film, you need to be prepared. Things like a backstory and all your preparations should be done before you ever step on set, because you've only got however many weeks to do it - and there's a thrill to that. I feel like there's a certain "one and done" quality to film that makes it feel kind of reckless. You're committing to that. With TV, if you have 100 episodes, you can have a bad episode. You can have a lot of bad episodes and a lot of good ones. With a film, it has to be good. I need to entertain you for an hour and a half, and once we've done it, that's that. There's no redemption.
They're both cool. I think that film has a more immediate thrill and payoff to it, and then TV has that long, slow-burn payoff to it - if you get afforded the luxury to be on the air long enough to feel that burn.
Lastly, why would you recommended that someone should watch Escape Room now that it’s available on home video?
I think, like I said earlier, it really captures the essence of why we have this global fascination with escape rooms. It's tense. It's like the equivalent of going on a thrill ride, but it's all psychological. I think this movie really taps into that tension, which is the key element; that ticking time bomb. And Escape Room, from the opening frame, is tense. You realize while you're watching the movie that you've been tensing your jaw and your fists, and you're like, "Oh, I'm not in that escape room. I can relax!" It does its job really well. I haven't seen a lot of movies do that recently: introduce that tension and then just hold you there in this really uncomfortable but entertaining place. I think, for that reason alone, it's a must-see.
