The premise

Six strangers find themselves in circumstances beyond their control, and must use their wits to survive.

Horror Vault's take

Six strangers with nothing obvious in common are lured into what appears to be an elaborate escape room experience — only to discover the puzzles are lethally real. Each chamber raises the stakes higher as the players scramble to decode clues before time, and their lives, run out. The film trades on relentless tension and increasingly ingenious set-piece traps that keep you guessing who, if anyone, will make it out. Beneath the pulse-pounding gameplay lies a darker question about why these particular people were chosen.
