Adam graduated from the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts.

Robitel's latest film, Escape Room: Tournament of Champions, has recently been released to the delight of Escape Room fans. His three last films have been theatrical releases and have grossed 370 million dollars worldwide. Robitel is in pre-production on his forthcoming Netflix Series The Craving, produced by Darren Aronofsky, and Protozoa Pictures, for which he will serve as Co-creator / Show Runner and director.

Robitel made a big splash in the genre world as a horror auteur having co-written, directed and produced The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014) (2014) a found-footage horror thriller. The Taking of Deborah Logan was named a "Netflix Horror Gem" by The Wrap and won an iHorror Award for best direct release of 2014. Paramount Studios then hired Robitel to do some rewrites on Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension (2015) (2015).

Robitel made headlines after being tapped to direct Blumhouse's creep-fest franchise Insidious: The Last Key (2018) (2017). The Last Key opened on January 5th, to fantastic domestic box office, grossing 30 million dollars on its opening weekend and more than 167 million dollars worldwide, making it the most lucrative Insidious to date.

Robitel's latest film, Escape Room (2019) which he developed and directed for Original Films and Sony Pictures Studios, opened at number 2 in the domestic box office with a stellar haul of 18 million dollars, twice its production budget. Escape Room has now grossed 156 million dollars world wide.

Robitel's original supernatural thriller idea Liminal sparked a bidding war and sold to Fox2000 with Nina Jacobson producing. Robitel will serve as executive producer with Chris Landon writing the screenplay and directing. The scribe has also written a gritty reinvention of the slasher genre with Cropsey based on the infamous maniac who has haunted the imaginations of campers for over a hundred years for Peter Facinelli A7SLE Seven films.
