On Night Terrors Radio, Wernick addressed that we’re seeing the film from Cole’s perspective, so we only see what he sees and he never sees any real torture. We also never really saw any of this torture, we just heard it and saw some fake blood. The film then confirmed my No Escape ending twist suspicions when all the deaths were easy ones to fake. Anyone who watches a lot of horror films knows that most likely, after Cole solved the puzzle correctly, the machines would have started back up and took out one of his friends, likely Thomas. Upon first viewing, I figured out the twist when Dash (Janko) and Thomas (Whitaker) didn’t die in the first torture chamber. Of course, this is just what most people are told before entering a haunted house or such, but it’s also clearly Wernick winking to the audience about none of the deaths being real. Then Alexei tells Cole and his friends that they’re in no danger and none of this is real. The No Escape ending screwed Cole and all his friends over because Cole murders someone. For example, one of the Russians tells Cole and his friends that they’re screwed, which was part of the whole prank on Cole, but it also hints to the end. There are many instances where the film has a cheeky nod to what’s really happening. How No Escape Told And Showed The Twist Ending If you watch Youtubers, you know they often hang out with certain people, other vloggers (George Janko’s character), childhood friends (Denzel Whitaker’s character), semi-celebrities, usually former child stars or children of celebrities (Siya’s character), and a significant other who stays out of the spotlight (Holland Roden’s character). Wernick clearly put a lot of thought into making No Escape a good imitation of vlogger lifestyle, including their social circle. We see how this is hurting his relationship with Erin. We watch as he can’t go more than a few minutes without turning on the camera and slipping into his Youtube persona. This can lead to losing some of their humanity. Some become obsessed with capturing content and pushing themselves to do the next big thing. Social media influencers losing touch with reality is a constant theme we see in real life. He thought the concept mirrored the idea of escape rooms, which also creates false realities. They create these fake realities and personas, and then that starts to affect their real lives. He said while developing the idea, he watched many vloggers and he found them fascinating. No Escape director Will Wernick discussed with LRM Online how Youtubers like Casey Neistat and Logan Paul influenced the idea for the movie. No Escape is about how that lifestyle has affected his life and sense of reality.

His adult life and career have been about bringing his followers these heightened experiences. The film centers around Cole who is this 20-something who grew up in front of the camera. I believe the most interesting element of No Escape is its discussion of social media and Youtube fame.
