Live Q&A After Screening Tonight

Director Hèctor Claramunt and actress Mònica Pérez will appear in person at Bages Centre in Manresa this Wednesday 14 October at 19:00 for a post-screening discussion following a showing of Escape Room 2. The film, which opened in cinemas on 9 October, is a cinematic adaptation of the successful stage play co-written by Claramunt and Joel Joan. It continues the story of four friends, Edu, Marina, Viky and Rai, who reunite five years after their first ordeal, only to find themselves trapped once again in a deadly game. According to the Barcelona Film Commission, filming took place across Catalonia, including in Barcelona, Terrassa, Sant Joan Despí and Cornellà de Llobregat.

Plot and Production Details

The story unfolds at a trendy new venue on Montjuïc mountain in Barcelona, built on the site of a former amusement park. The group soon discovers the location hides a buried horror attraction, a derelict tunnel of terror, where they encounter a countdown timer with a chilling message: they have 60 minutes to escape or die. The film blends comedy, suspense and action, with Claramunt stating that cinema allowed them to expand the spectacle beyond what was possible on stage. In remarks reported by ACN, he described the project as a rare blend of adventure, risk and special effects in Catalan-language film production. The cast includes Joel Joan, Paula Vives, Ivan Massagué, Jordi Boixaderas, Lluís Soler and Elisabet Casanovas. The screenplay is by Hèctor Claramunt and Joel Joan, with music by Xavier Capellas and cinematography by Xavi Giménez.
