4K UHD Review – Escape from Death

For this UHD release, the film is titled “Escape from Death.” The cover art features a deadly weapon, a character with their face bloodied, and a seductively posed woman. There’s a promise of mysterious, violent escapism to come with this Italian production, but the viewing experience quickly reveals extraordinarily little screen activity is actually involved in the production. Co-writer/director Enzo Milioni has an idea for a mystery involving a missing man, a lot of money, and a possible killer on the loose, but there’s no pursuit of thrills in the endeavor, which remains frustratingly talky as it tries to present itself as a study of suspects and potential madness. “Escape from Death” is a real bore that only gets something going in its final ten minutes, with the rest of the movie trapped in stillness with strangely defined characters and clunky, uninspired screenwriting.
