people didn't make it to Cell Six, he said. Most called out the
safe word - reprieve - after the first Cell. It was that intense.
When Bryan, Jaidee, Victor and Jane team up to compete at a
full-contact escape room, it seems simple. Hold your nerve through
six terrifying challenges; collect all the red envelopes; win a
huge cash prize. But the real horror is unfolding outside of the
game, in a series of deceits and misunderstandings fuelled by
obsession and prejudice. And by the end of the night, one of the
contestants will be dead. A startlingly soulful exploration of
complicity and masquerade, Reprieve combines the psychological
tension of classic horror with searing social criticism, and
seamlessly threads together trial transcripts, evidence
descriptions, and deeply layered individual narratives to present a
chilling portrait of American life.
