Over the course of "Escape the Field," several lives are lost. But Sam (Jordan Claire Robbins) is determined to find a way out of her predicament and get answers. She makes it farther than most, but in the end, is overpowered by a swarm of people wearing what look like hazmat masks. A woman's voice on a radio is heard saying, "Retrieve subject for phase two." The film ends with the voice announcing, "Phase two, green. Operation completion, green."
Earlier in "Escape the Field," the group speculates whether they're part of a government experiment. This ending seems to confirm their suspicions and also opens the door for a sequel. In an interview with MovieWeb, Robbins revealed that the truth may soon be unveiled. "I know that there are plans to hopefully do a couple more films," she said. "I would love to return as Sam. It's a great character and I think that where they want to go with it, from what I know, is really fun and smart."
However, the less-than-great reception of "Escape the Field" may impact its future. On IMDB, user bangel3322 gave it a one-star review and said, "A film that teased us in the beginning with mystery, intrigue and interesting puzzles turned out to be nothing but 90 minutes of wasted time. The film made no sense and went absolutely nowhere." User paul_haakonsen added, "It was a real struggle to sit through this movie and feign interest in it."
Still, the critical feedback may inspire the filmmakers to up the ante and craft a more unique plot that will resonate with viewers.
