This movie is also known as No Escape depending on the website you are on. An up and coming social media personality travels to Russia with friends to get some new content. They meet up with a wealthy Russian fan of his who offers them a chance to go into an extreme escape room. When they get there and the events starts (streamed online of course) the puzzles are deadly. One of those puzzles involves one of the characters strapped into an electric chair while the friends need to solve a metal maze (that looks like a labyrinth). They must move an object through the maze without touching the sides or she is shocked much like the game Operation. Things go sideways from there as people start dying and escape appears impossible. Everything else I could describe would give away the ending. It’s a fun horror movie that fits today’s culture.

I give it a 6/10.

Is The Deep House a Maze movie ?

I was wondering if this movie is a maze movie or not. Let’s discuss as I tell you a bit about the movie. A social media star and his girlfriend, who specialize in urban explorations go to the bottom of a lake in a secluded forest in France. The scuba dive is filmed for their channel as they are hoping for big views. At the bottom of the lake is an intact house that permanently flooded into the lake. Their exploration of the preserved rooms feels like a maze and is similar to movies I consider maze movies (Thir13een Ghosts, Relic, Grave Encounters). But, in all of those similar movies a character mentions that the environment they are in is like a maze. You never hear the word in this movie. That’s the rub.

The movie. Well they find some things you might not want to find in a house at a bottom of a lake. Things get dicey and there is a race to escape. Unfortunately, despite the nice concept, the movie is a bit slow and boring. So is this a maze movie ????

I give it a 5.1/10.
