The Final Escape (2022)

There is not much to say, except for a fun ad. Visually great, as expected - they wanted to show off how amazing the camera on that phone is.

The story itself was surprisingly solid. Silly, leading more to comedy than horror, but still decent in both writing and presentation. It’s also refreshing to see a morally questionable character in the main role. The acting was also fine, no major complaints.

The concept itself was great and personally, I think it’s worth a full length movie. There is so much that can be done with it with more screen time, good script writer and decent budget.

Overall, for an ad, really good.

Not scary.

The movie is supposed to be of horror genre so I've rated it on that basis.

For a movie shot entirely on a phone, it was very well done. The set designs were amazing. Good VFX (final scene). The story plot was interesting. The events however were comical. They seemed to have paid homage to 'The Shining'. I wont spoil the reasons for that. I am not sure if I understood the final scenario or I might have rated it higher even if it was not scary. It could have been the translation gap but they didn't explain the ending properly and it might leave audiences guessing what was really going on.

Nevertheless, I was amused and it's only 25 mins long so it's good for a one time watch.
