As kind of a middle ground between the YA Maze Runner franchise and the hard R Saw franchise, Escape Room offers a really fun option for pseudo horror/thriller that’s still tame enough for the entire family. My youngest had to move to sit closer to me, but I don’t believe he ever needed to close his eyes. The trap here are imaginative and fun, particularly the upside down pool hall was really cool and makes for some awesome visuals they invert the camera. There are moments too when you’re given the opportunity to solve the puzzles on your own. I just wish there had been a bit more of that because it’s incredibly rewarding when that happens rather than when we’re left to just watch the characters do all the solving. Fun family watch.
