About This Movie

Escape (2023) is an intriguing found footage horror that captures the raw essence of fear. Shot as a class project, it brings a gritty, unrefined edge that feels authentic. The pacing is somewhat uneven but it leans into that, creating an unsettling atmosphere that keeps you guessing. The practical effects, while limited, are surprisingly effective in creating tension – you can tell they put thought into making each scare count. Performances are natural, almost documentary-like, which adds to that immersive feeling of dread. It's distinctive in its approach, capturing the claustrophobia of the situation without relying on flashy edits or overproduced scares. This one's more about vibe and slowly building tension than outright jump scares.
