Dead Air

During a global pandemic, a group of friends gather for a virtual reality escape room experience. What begins as a fun online game quickly turns into a terrifying fight for survival as a real-life threat breaches their virtual sanctuary. They must use their wits and the limited tools available in the game to outsmart the unknown entity and escape before it's too late.

Google audience: Audience reception on Google is not widely aggregated, but discussions highlight the film's creative approach to a pandemic-themed horror-comedy.
