This is newb producer, writer and director Emerson Moore's second film (with only one prior short),and it wasn't as bad as all these wannabe critics and their one's. Clearly it was a low budget B film, and all things considered, I've seen worse big budget Hollywood A-films lately.

Moore's directing was actually impressive, with some great aerial shots, unexpected jump-scares, and fairly decent cast direction. Cinematography was spot-on, but it was the score - especially for a B film, that was perfection. This is a rarity in B films, where the score is always loud, overbearing, constant and unfitting. Even the pacing was decent for the 89 min runtime.

There was however a huge missed opportunity with the writing; of the three writers, had one of them been somewhat a seasoned writer, the story could've been more cohesive. Although a refreshing and original take on the "escape room" genre films, there were some elements that could've been omitted, such as the red vile-filled dart and what followed, and other elements than needed more attention, such as a better narrative structure and more character development. I don't mind films that leave unanswered questions, but a little more clarity would've gone a long way. The ending wasn't bad either, but also had potential to be much more.

Rookie mistakes aside, I still enjoyed this one, and it's a well deserved 7/10 for the newb filmmaker. I hope Moore takes advantage of the door he left open for a sequel.

Not as bloody as Saw. Not as clever as Cube. Not as inventive as Escape Room. Not a good film.

Badly directed and edited, bad script, stupid ending, 'seen it all before' plot, mostly poor acting.

The black actress wins an award for the most annoying person in film...ever.

Avoid.

The storyline of a group of people with little in common having to work together toward some ultimate goal is a well trodden road, many films do this really well but this review is not for them it is for "Escape the Field" which I had the misfortune to sit and watch all the way through to the ridiculous ending.

At first it showed some promise but when will bad film makers stop hanging their storylines on stupid decisions by stupid characters?

At a time when one of their number has been attacked and dragged off by something unknown they all decide to scatter and run in different directions because they think they hear her screaming from those directions.

Then we have a compass that points to a water tap (Would love to know how that compass is supposed to work).

Then we have a mysterious map under the bark of a dead tree for these idiots to find, well I say map but in reality it is just a checkerboard.

But the thing that really REALLY annoyed me was the final scene where a team of what we are to believe are soldiers wearing gas masks (With British Accents) move in on the last remaining person (Although what happens to the English Girl is not explained, maybe she is one of the Soldiers With Gas Masks???) and as the camera draws back into the sky you see that the field is in a huge under ground chamber with huge closing doors but as the camera pulls back even further you see that this SECRET underground field in in the middle of SUBURBAN LONDON yes that's right the camera draws back to show that this field is roughly in Peckham... One of the most populous areas in the World and we are to believe their built this Under London???

So recogisable is the River Thames I was expecting the drum beat intro to the Eastenders Soap Theme...

This is just the final nail in the coffin of credibility for this terrible movie...
