Escape Room (2019)

I went into this film not knowing anything, didn't even know it existed until I was on the way to the cinema, and my initial reaction is... 

It was alright ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I got a lot of saw vibes from this film (without the gore) and I liked the premise of it even if when I left I noticed a lot of thaws that are very similar to saw like, how did they suspect certain people to get to places, or if they want them to die why leave a safety mechanism hidden away, but I also enjoyed it. 

One room in really caught my eye due to it being set out amazing as well as all of the camera shots nicely complimenting it. That would be the pool room. But this pool room was upside down.

They start the scene with a camera pull zooming out as the characters walk through the door until it zooms out enough to see the whole room with them walking on the ceiling, having the camera rotate so their on the ceiling, this is very visually appealing as it's changing between the right way and wrong way up. And when the floor (I guess ceiling in this case) started falling out from under them to reveal the elevator shaft really create suspense because as an audience you fear the drop coupled with the sudden sound of the metal dropping and hitting the ground. 

The sense of what's the right way up with the drop is really thrilling to see as it's the only room the really kept me on the edge of my seat. 
I want to try to experiment with the depth perception like this did adding something that keep the audience on their seat like this room did for me.
