“Escape The Undertaker” is an interactive film from Netflix, which features wrestling trio The New Day as well as The Undertaker. It’s about as corny as you can get and feels a lot like something that would be an attraction at Disney or Universal. It might be fun if you were actually there in person but to just sit and watch this is pretty underwhelming.
The New Day show up at a spooky mansion to steal The Undertaker’s urn to make themselves more powerful. Unfortunately, The Undertaker isn’t going to just hand over his precious magical urn and will stop at nothing to defeat The New Day. Being an interactive film, you get to decide what happens.
The Undertaker is one of the most iconic wrestlers of all-time. I think he could even work as a horror film villain but this film is so cheesy that you can’t possibly find him intimidating here. I’m not familiar with The New Day members as I don’t really follow wrestling all that much. I find it disappointing that the fight near the end of the film is not very impressive. I mean, we have four wrestlers in this film and no real wrestling.
“Escape The Undertaker” is a novelty film and never aspires to be anything more than that. As previously mentioned, I can see this working as an attraction at a big theme park. What we have here is nothing to get excited over. I think even big wrestling fans are going to be disappointed because there is no wrestling going on. Apparently, The Undertaker retired in 2020 so people that just want more content from him may get some enjoyment from this. I will admit that a scene near the end reminded me a lot of M. Bison in the Van Damme “Street Fighter” film.
