mazes and labyrinths for this list we’re
choosing memorable and/or iconic mazes
and labyrinths featuring complex
passages or creations that people must
find their way out of from the big
screen number 10
Time Bandits the murder no wonder major
all automatic convenience center and
Terry Gilliam directs this quirky
classic that follows an 11-year old boy
and a group of greedy dwarves as they
make their way through various time
periods in search of treasure yes stuff
like any good treasure hunt this one is
filled with many twists and turns in
this case literally
after hopping across time the bandits
eventually encounter a large maze with
the ultimate prize at its end the most
fabulous object of course the most
fabulous object in the world is located
in the fortress of ultimate darkness
which is just as creepy as it sounds
see the darkness number 9 Enter the
Dragon
you have offended my family and you have
offended a Shaolin Temple at the
conclusion of this kung-fu masterpiece
Bruce Lee must fight one of his
deadliest foes ever but of course
there’s a catch
[Music]
Lee is drawn into a maze comprised of
mirrors and is unable to tell where he’s
going or where his adversary is waiting
our hero is overwhelmed at first as both
he and the audience struggle to tell
what’s going on in some of the coolest
visuals ever seen in a martial arts film
ultimately we turns the tide of the
battle by simply breaking every mirror
in sight number 8 dark city believe me
I’ve tried quite possibly the creepiest
entry on this list this maze exists in a
city trapped in eternal night that’s why
it’s always dark they can’t stand the
light John Murdoch played by the
versatile Rufus Sewell must find his way
through the perilous city designed as a
labyrinth while being pursued by a group
of men with bizarre powers first there
was darkness and came the strangers
known as strangers these men changed the
layout of the city and brainwashed those
around him I have Jon Maddog in mind
when Murdock discovers he possesses the
same powers he must use them to unravel
the dark secrets of the city you have a
power to make anything
but you must act now
number seven The Maze Runner mr. Mane’s
this film follows a group of teenage
boys who are trapped in an area called
the glade where the only way out is
through an ominous maze what is this
place
welcome to the lake the most athletic
boys are anointed as runners and are
allowed to enter the horror filled maze
in order to escape I can’t leave with us
the only catch is that the maze can only
be entered during the daytime as the
enormous walls shut every night somebody
dumped me I think it’s time we find out
what we’re really up against as the
characters make their way through the
maze they must gather clues as to what
brought them there and what happened to
the outside world we get out now or we
die trying
number six Alice in Wonderland in this
nonsensical fantasy world all the ways
about here belong to the Queen and that
includes a large hedge maze that the
Cheshire cat leads Alice to near the end
of the film some go this way that way
but as for me myself personally I prefer
the short this maze is less about trying
to get through it than it is about
dealing with what’s inside of course
things here are not quite what they seem
with Ed to pro morphic playing cards and
a tyrannical Queen that makes demands
for heads to roll for transgressions
that include beating her in a game of
croquet do you play croquet and painting
the roses red number five The Shining
this is our famous hedge maze it’s quite
an attraction around here this stanley
kubrick horror masterpiece features a
very different hedge maze than the one
seen in Alice in Wonderland yeah this
whole place is such an enormous maze I
feel like I’ll have to leave a trail of
breadcrumbs every time to complete the
maze itself is located behind a hotel
where writer Jack Torrance stays with
his family
over the next few months things in the
hotel becomes strange and as Jax mental
state deteriorates his family begins to
explore the cryptic maze once things
really get crazy the family must flee
into the maze during a harsh and
life-threatening winter number four cube
that coordinate placed the room outside
the cube in this psychological horror
film a group of strangers wakes up
trapped in a complex structure of
connected cubes each filled with their
own deadly traps the characters must
navigate the deadly maze trying to
figure out the mystery of each new
horror they encounter the room starts
off as a bridge and then it moves its
way through the maze which is where we
ran into it each different room is
color-coded based on what activates the
trap and as the prisoners make their way
further through the maze they begin to
turn on each other one by one no wonder
your wife left you a young girl’s number
three
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in
the maze you’ll find no dragons or
creatures of the deep in settle for
something even more challenging the
Harry Potter franchise puts a new spin
on a classic hedge maze in the series
fourth installment
acting as the final challenge of the
incredibly dangerous triwizard
tournament the maze shifts and attacks
those making their way through it at its
center lies the Triwizard Cup and
whoever reaches it first becomes the
champion of the tournament however dark
forces are present and the cup may hold
dark secrets of its own number two Pan’s
Labyrinth mr. levy
guillermo del toro takes the audience
into a frightening and fantastic maze in
this dark fantasy tale set during the
spanish Francoist period the film
follows a philia who enters a mysterious
underground labyrinth filled with the
beautiful yet frightening creatures that
del toro is known for he dies my love it
this includes her guide through the maze
the mysterious and very creepy faun Chuy
o philia must overcome various trials to
pass through the maze while rebel forces
hover near in a plot nearly as complex
as the maze itself together
before we unveil our top pick here are
some honorable mentions this way hold on
listen to me it’s gonna take forever the
place is just too big
Majesty I realize in a labyrinth with a
million possibilities this is the last
thing you want to hear the God of flesh
leviathans Lord of the labyrinth I fear
we’re not alone in here
number one labyrinth
do you know where the Georgia labyrinth
is this cult classic from Jim Henson
features his signature puppets produced
by his famous Creature Shop and isn’t a
dark fantasy world how do I get into the
labyrinth this world serves as a
backdrop for creepy twists and turns of
one of the coolest mazes ever imagined
turns or corners or anything just goes
on and on this sprawling labyrinth is
filled with secret passages dark
corridors fantastic creatures and of
course David Bowie asked Gareth the
Goblin King it’s up to the teenage
Jennifer Connelly who plays Sarah to
navigate this treacherous and fantastic
maze in order to save her brother who
has been kidnapped by the creepy King
himself
