Ranking February 2019's Movies From Worst To Best
20. Escape Room
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 47% (5.13/10 average score)
Box Office: On an impressively tight $9 million budget, Escape Room surpassed expectations and went on to gross over $115 million worldwide.
Unsurprisingly, a sequel has been fast-tracked for an April 17, 2020 release date. Could this be the next big horror franchise?
Verdict: Though visually impressive considering its meagre price tag and intermittently amusing, this PG-13 horror is just too tame and inane to be truly effective.
Between the painfully bad dialogue, blood-free death scenes and monumentally stupid third act, it's a case of "nice try, but this ain't it." A little self-awareness would've gone a long way here.
