Follows on from all those sorts of movies we love. The Cube, Final Destination and any movie where people are thrown together in a mysterious situation in peril.
And this was a fun, well-produced addition to the genre.
I think the set designs are what really sets this apart - clever, detailed, immersive and a lot of attention to detail.
Does it do anything dramatically new? Of course not. It takes what's been before and adds its own take while capitalising in the explosion (no pun intended) on escape rooms.
A fun ride. Setting up for future outings with a building narrative, which I would certainly watch.
Will I remember this as a great in five years time? No. But it's a fun ride.
