13 Movies with the word Maze in the title
You know the movie has the word Maze in the title, but you aren’t quite sure what the full title is. I can help. I have pulled together the 13 most popular movies with maze in the title. If the movie contains a maze or labyrinth as part of the story, I will watch and review the movie. Check out this list where I give you a description, a poster, some information about the movie and for a few a link to my review of the movie. If none of these movies are what you are looking for, maybe it is part of this other post: 12 Movies with the word Labyrinth in the title.
I break these “Maze” films into 4 sections:
The Maze Runner Movies:
The Maze Runner (2014) - (IMDB) (my review)
The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015) - (IMDB)
This trilogy of movies are based off the very popular books written by James Dashner. The overall story starts with our main character not having a memory and being stuck in the middle of a large maze with a group of other boys. They must work together to escape. In movie #2 they have the new challenge of a barren landscape. And in the final movie they learn what the whole ordeal is all about while breaking into a maze. The movies also have some great posters if you like mazes and labyrinths !
The Horror Movies:
I find that a maze can become an effective plot device in a horror movie, as evidenced by the list below. Being lost in a maze creates tension and you never know what you are going to find around a corner.
Woman in the Maze (2023) - (IMDB).
A woman rents a house and becomes trapped inside. Can she find her way out and escape the house ? This movie is currently on my watchlist !
Takes place at a castle in the Scottish Highlands with a mysterious hedge maze that seems to be…well you’ll have to watch the movie. One of the first movies ever shot in 3D !
A group of friends break into a closed corn maze at night for some fun and games. A killer in a red hoodie decides to play a different game where he kills people.
Haunted Maze (2013) - (IMDB) (my review)
A carnival stops in a small town for the Halloween Festival. Evil clowns. Bad acting. One of the worst movies I have ever seen. A low budget horror film where they spent too much.
4 friends find a cursed Indian burial grounds in the woods and it creates a time travel situation that traps them there. Can they escape ? Image if Pet Cemetery was mixed with a bad horror movie and given no budget - that is this movie.
The Adventure and Fantasy Movies:
Into the Grizzly Maze (2015) - (IMDB).
2 brothers are stalked by a Grizzly bear in Alaska while on a hike. Billy Bob Thornton, Thomas Jane and James Marsden are in this.
Hercules in the Maze of the Minotaur (1994) - (IMDB) (my review).
A TV movie that is clip heavy from the show. Tells the story (with many stories along the way) of Hercules taking on the Minotaur. Good if you like the show.
The Maze (1997) - (IMDB)
This sci fi fantasy movie stars Giancarlo Esposito. People are trapped in a mazelike building that appears to have no exit. If you know where I can watch this movie send me a note - I can’t find it anywhere !
A TV movie starring Tom Hanks that was a response to the Dungeons and Dragons controversy of the early 80’s. Friends decide to play the role playing game M&M in the local caverns - what could possibly go wrong ?
Everything Else:
These maze movies include a prison break, a romance, a comedy and a thriller.
Maze (2017) - (IMDB).
This is a true story about a 1983 prison break from an Irish prison by IRA members.
Maze (2000) - (IMDB)
A romance starring Laura Linney. A man falls in love with his best friend’s girlfriend. She is also pregnant. What could possibly go wrong ?
A comedy about a group of friends that get trapped in a maze fort Dave made in his living room out of old boxes. One of my favorite maze movies. Fun, and an original story ! You can’t watch this movie and say you’ve seen this before !
Iron Maze (1991) - (IMDB)
A thriller starring Bridget Fonda. A crime is committed in a small town and the perpetrator admits to doing it, but only in self defense. Is he telling the truth or is there something else at play ?
