==Critical reception==
Due to not receiving domestic theatrical distribution, few critics reviewed the film. From BZ Film:
{{quote|There are movies that can simply be put into “forgettable” category. ESCAPEE falls right in there. Supposedly ESCAPEE was based on true events that took place in one of the producer's hometown of [[Alexandria, Louisiana]]. Maybe so, however this doesn’t make this film any different, as one has to really think hard and work even harder to make a serial killer movie worth watching.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bzfilm.com/action-film-reviews/review-escapee-2011-trailer/ |title=REVIEW: Escapee (2011) + trailer &#124; BZFilm.com &#124; Movie reviews &#124; Low budget filmmaking &#124; Independent Cinema &#124; B-movies &#124; Free online films |publisher=BZFilm.com |date= |accessdate=2012-03-21}}</ref>}}
