“Escape Room” (*1/2 out of four) was a tired horror melodrama about six strangers (Deborah Ann Woll, Tyler Labine, Taylor Russell, and others) who find themselves taking part in a game whose circumstances grow more ominous and dangerous as it goes along. Energetically directed by Adam Robitel but it hardly matters since the story and characters are dead in the water. It’s hard to believe two horror movies in one week could rip off the same movie (“Saw”) but seeing is believing. David Fincher’s “The Game” told the same story far more stylishly over 20 years ago!
