If you stick a social media star in a torture room, does he make a noise? A lot of noises, and most of them violent screams, according to the No Escape trailer, a new film from the director of Escape Room. No, not the hit 2019 film, an earlier, little-seen 2017 film directed by Will Wernick, who returns to a similar premise with No Escape, an upcoming gorefest which follows a daredevil social media star and his friends as they find themselves trapped in a terrifying torture room. Watch the No Escape trailer below.
No Escape looks like a cross between Saw and the apparently multiple Escape Room movies. It's a tried-and-true premise for horror fans who are a fan of grisly torture porn. There's also a contemporary twist with the focus on social media as an enabler of dangerous behaviors and stunts, some of which have even tragically taken a few lives. But with its more fantastical premise of a group of seedy Russian businessmen (who seem to have a fondness for leather bondage gear), I don't expect No Escape to focus too much on the real-life dangers of social media.
Watch the trailer below:
A social media star travels with his friends to Moscow to capture new content for his successful VLOG. Always pushing the limits and catering to a growing audience, he and his friends enter a cold world of mystery, excess and danger. As the line between real life and social media is blurred, the group must fight to escape, and survive.
No Escape hits video-on-demand and Digital on September 18, 2020.
