What's the Story?
In ESCAPE THE UNDERTAKER, WWE team The New Day visit a spooky mansion owned by The Undertaker in hopes of taking his magical urn. Turns out Undertaker wants to take their souls. In this interactive movie, viewers get to choose their own adventure as the characters explore different parts of the house to find the urn, face their fears, and try to escape with their souls. Will they survive? It's up to the viewer to decide their fate.
Is It Any Good?
This interactive movie is a bit cheesy and surprisingly thrilling. Right away viewers are asked if they're ready to begin or too scared, but guess what? You aren't backing out that easily. The too-scared option won't get out of the movie (but don't worry, viewers can still just hit the back button on their remote). The movie is more spooky than violent. Though the visual effects aren't anything to write home about, the audio effects are actually effective. The interactive elements are easy to navigate. Viewers have a limited amount of time (about 10 seconds) to pick an option before one is decided for them. Most choices don't affect the story too much, but take you on different character perspectives. If a viewer changes their mind about a choice, there's an option to redo the choice. This could also be fun if you just want to see an alternative vantage point or ending.
Though the acting and plot are very cheesy at times, the movie makes for a quick, fun interactive experience that's great for Halloween or a spooky movie night.
