There’s not much more to the plot than the characters moving from one impeccably constructed set piece to another, including a scene in which they travel down a tube and briefly turn into paper-bag puppets, and another with the most effective use of forced perspective since the Lord of the Rings trilogy.Įventually, Dave comes up with a plan to escape from the maze, which connects thematically back to his lack of follow-through in life.
Even as the movie gets darker and more violent, it remains consistently funny. Through it all, Harry continues to film, with Urbaniak’s dry humor coming across in a character who’s sort of a nerdier Werner Herzog. Heads are lopped off and guts are spilled, although the blood and viscera take the form of yarn or silly string.
Soon the intricate construction of the maze starts turning on people, in dazzlingly violent ways. A giant totem-like head opens and closes its mouth as torn paper spews forth.
