Lost in Ikea: This is scarier than any horror movie.

Think that visiting Ikea is akin to something out of a horror movie? You’re not the only one.

You get lost within approximately 346,000 square feet of furniture forests, it’s impossible to figure out which way you’re walking, and there’s no mobile phone reception. Cue ominous music.

Daniel Hubbard has created a YouTube video titled Alfonso Cuarón’s “IKEA” – Official Trailer (the trailer rips off director Alfonso Cuarón’s latest film, Gravity), which re-imagines a trip to Ikea as an adventure more like The Blair Witch Project.

Dum dum dummmmm.

Straw poll time: What do you think of the Ikea movie trailer – does it accurately capture what a trip to Ikea feels like? What was your last trip to Ikea like?

How can you get lost in Ikea? There is one path that takes you all the way through. My tip - go without spouse or offspring for maximum enjoyment. Mmmm, love a bit of Ikea :)

I have only been to the Brisbane (on the way to the Gold Coast) one. Are they all that big? The part I didn't like was that you couldn't get out without going the whole way through the place. A smidge claustrophobia-inducing. Coming from little ol' Hobart, I had never been in one shop so vast, haha.
