Thats right I'm doing a review, deal with it.
As you all know, Experiment 10 is the new Fright Nights horror maze, in it's first few weeks of operation it has garnered a reputation of being absolutely terrifying, but is it any good?
After getting the usual security brief you enter a dark bloodstained corridor which leads into a small room, awaiting you in the room is a scientist who tells you the basic story for the maze, I really liked the room itself, the rifles on the wall and the cctv footage that blanked out all the time, it gave you the impression that something was going wrong, even though there telling you that everything is okay. After the little story scene you get pushed into the "Decontamination room" which is pumped full of a strange gas as the actors in hazmat suits inspect you. After the decontamination you are pushed down through a long corridor and then shoved in a box all by yourself, this was probably the most unnerving scene that I have ever experienced in a horror maze, being locked in complete darkness with no friends around while actors proceeded to bang on the walls and taunt you is pretty worrying.
I think most people will agree with me if I say this was the scariest part of the maze.
After a couple of minutes of solitary confinement you are pulled out of your box and through yet another corridor, after walking for a bit the corridor splits into two different routes, you don't get much choice on which route to take because if you stay for too long the actor will just push you wherever he wants, unfortunately I was pushed into the route where I had to crawl, Brilliant. After navigating my way through the tunnel and hitting my head of few times, I caught up with Marc, "Hooray!" I thought "I'm not alone any more, maybe this next part wont be as scary as if I was alone!", Well to be honest the final part of the maze was just so, dull. It probably wouldn't of been any scarier if I was alone. The final part of the maze is a let down, its just a couple jump scares and then your out, Not a very good finale at all, I would of preferred it if it ended like Terror of the towers, an actor heavy finale that made you run out of the building, but no, it was just so, mute. All in all Experiment 10 is a very good maze, it (mostly) uses psychological scares rather than jump scares, but unfortunately the ending is a massive let-down.
For this I give Experiment 10
8/10
Also kudos to Thorpe for trying something different this year, it work out quite well and after a few improvements, you could have the best (Merlin) scare attraction in the UK
