It is a performances centric movie

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

I was intrigued by the premise of Escape from Tommorow after stumbling across a trailer a few weeks ago, with the notion of horror/paronia flooding a family during a day at Disney World sounding unique.After finishing this painfully boring and uncreative slog of a film, I realized the whole black-and-white and "guerilla-style" film making, being a huge selling point of the film, was entirely a gimmick. I'm expecting most of this film's slim budget went towards getting Disney Park passes for the cast and crew, because the acting is atrocious (especially with the children and wife) the special effects are entry level After Effects, and the writing is piss poor. The various "twists" throughout the film are idiotic, the character motivations non exsistent (the father character literally stumbling through most of the plot trying to chase a pair of teenage girls in some unexplained perversion), and the Disney setting is painfully underutilizied (I'm sure this was partly because of legal issues). Escape From Tommorow is one of the worst films I've ever seen. It's not even a worthwhile watch if you're looking for a B-Movie horror film. Not recommended under any circumstances.

The first thing is it is a different film. Might not be fully a fresh concept, but a rare kind. A bunch of wonderful characters and cast, this is somewhat entertaining. Takes place in the backdrop of Disneyland, Florida. Focused on a small family with two little kids having a nice time in the theme park. The story centres mainly on the father, who unable to resist the attraction towards two young French girls seen everywhere he goes. Which leads him to make mistakes being a father. Moreover, strange and unrecognisable events jeopardises the unity of his family.A bit of fantasy and reality, the film has a style. I thought it was just a flow that's taking it to the other end of the film, but the twist caught me by surprise. Nothing like a mind blowing, but for this kind of small flick, it was good enough. I don't think in any way the film offends the Disney park and Disney fans. Though the Disney did a fine job ignoring it rather than creating more publicity for the film by suing. It was just a possibility of life event which can take place anywhere, anytime. So, that's how it came into the life with this children's favourite theme park. Despite where it sets in, the film is for the adults. I think it is worth a try without any expectation.6/10

Uncertain of why he was fired from work, a father-of-two does not heed the advice of his former boss and lets his imagination run wild while on vacation at Disneyland in this one-of-a-kind guerrilla movie. Shot on location at Disneyland and Disney World, apparently without permission, the movie is worth checking out simply for the unique spin that the filmmakers place on the popular amusement parks. Lusciously shot in black and white, the filmmakers emphasise every single shadow and manage to bring out something ominous in all of the buildings and rides. Clocking in at nearly 90 minutes though, the film feels incredibly long given the slimness of the premise. The story basically consists of the father slowly losing his mind, and while there is initially some doubt as to whether or not it is all in his head, this quickly disappears and things soon become fairly repetitive, some mood-destroying scatological humour near the end aside. Even if not entirely engaging the whole way through, 'Escape from Tomorrow' is an easy film to appreciate. The "bad things happen everywhere" agenda works well as the film focuses on the daughter tripping and falling and the son experiencing motion sickness, quite aside from the father losing his marbles. Roy Abramsohn also does well making his lecherous character come off as sympathetic. His job anxiety truly resonates and it is easy to feel for his desire to feel youthful again by following the two French teenagers around. What exactly his final appearance at the end is meant to signify though is anybody's guess.

You ever wonder what it would be like if Terrence Malick vacationed in Walt Disney World, drank moonshine and had an acid flashback while on It's A Small World, and then immediately afterwards stared at Spaceship Earth while a bunch of kids ran by? That's pretty much this film. I like the idea of the film fine, and it's cool to see all the little areas in Walt Disney World that I know so well (I may have been in this film and not even known it), but the film gets lost in its own thematic context. Is it's message that our instabilities will follow us even in so-called safe havens? Is it a pandemic allegory? Is it a sexuality parable? Not that it can't be all of those, but I don't think even the movie knows what it's talking about. Beyond that, the film is positively horrendous, with laughable attempts at psychological terror and ambiguity, unbearable dialogue and acting, groan inducing imagery (Don't make me mention the Siemens "semen"), amateurish photography and editing (which I do still understand given the film's shooting circumstances), appalling special effects, ear grating music choices, and structuring so incompetent, it can't even keep its own locations straight. If the movie is taking place in Disney World, WHY ARE YOU ALSO JUMPING TO DISNEYLAND FOOTAGE?! I could spend hours picking apart the geographical errors alone, but that's secondary at this point. Escape From Tomorrow is a classic example that it doesn't matter how original your story is if the actual execution (which should matter above all else) is awful.
