The two basic premises of the challenge well met, but not such a good photo. The screen is soft and seems grainy, but fairly well lighted. Off the screen is pretty dark and unappealing. Few details show up on the reflection, even the words on the shirt are unreadable. 6 Swash

I like the rotation and curves. I find the contrast within the reflection itself too low - and this is exaggerated for me by the intense blackness at the other side of the image.
There seems to be unusually high levels of compression artifact - though I am not lowering score on that basis.

I like your title. It fits perfectly. The angle gives it a look of frenzy, certainly fitting the fact that one is trapped inside. Very original.

For me, this doesn't work. The use of black and white leaves the shot looking lack lustre, and the under exposed look simply darkens the image to a point where nothing can be discerned. Composition isn't bad, but having nothing to really call the central object (is it the screen or the reflection) makes it hard to call. The area at top right draws the eye away from the screen (and reflection) and there's nothing really there to look at. I'd try re-shooting the shot in colour and masking the negative space so that it does doesn't draw attention away from what is a potentially superb idea. Sorry to be so negative, but I don't like to score low and not say whyâ€Â¦. (2)

The right side of the photograph is too dark, and since I can't determine what is there, it is distracting.

A bit too dark and grainy IMO
