7/10
If Kafka Made Movies...

The entire situation is a simple allegory for life in a human society. If you're looking for a standard "let's play a game" horror flick filled with jump scares and gore, this isn't it.

You'll spend 90 minutes with a bunch of "normal" people (i.e. humankind) that possess a variety of virtues and vices. The protagonists are trying to escape a big and seemingly pointless maze, full of boobytraps, dead ends and moving targets. Is this someone's sick joke? A grand conspiracy? Or just a product of other humans who only did their jobs one day at a time? The whole thing must have cost cubic dollars *ba dum-tsss*. Why were these people placed there? Because reasons. Otherwise the whole thing would be pointless, right? So keep moving. Or don't?

I found the film both stimulating and entertaining, and I expect it be memorable. Give it a watch.
