Six strangers are given mysterious black boxes with tickets to an immersive escape room for a chance to win tons of money. Being locked in several rooms with extreme conditions, they discover the secrets behind the escape room and must fight to survive and to find a way out.
The man responsible for creating a real life escape room in Poland and who was charged with deliberately creating a danger of a fire that led to 5 teens being killed inside was named Milosz. In this movie, the name of the escape room operator went by Minos. However, it's more than likely that Minos here refers to the Greek mythological figure, first king of Crete, son of Zeus and Europa who every nine years sent seven people into Minotaur's labyrinth.

I'm not a fan of PG-13 horror. I like my sex and violence. But I was pleasantly surprised by this. Yes it rips off "Saw" and "Hostel" but it shows that you don't need gore to be scared. It's the cast that makes the movie. I liked everyone. When a character was in danger, I was scared. If they didn't make it, I was horrified. Horror is at its best when you're emotionally invested in the participants.
