Escape From Tomorrow, the horror movie secretly shot at Disney World

Good gravy this is some fresh garbage. Awful.

Watched this the day after coming back from Walt Disney World. Yes, the story doesn't make much sense, yes, it does too much to remind viewers directly of What's Going On, but I really really liked it and it made me viscerally uncomfortable and nauseated as a good horror movie should. Maybe "directly after visit to WDW" is the only appropriate mode for seeing this.

Just watched this on netflix. I thought it was pretty fun tbh but massively tonally inconsistent. Like, some of the time it wanted to be Lynchian arthouse mental breakdown film, sometimes it wanted to be Braindead, sometimes it seemed to want to turn into a really shit sex comedy. And the main guy's acting left a fair amount to be desired. I'd probs give it 6/10 for entertainment value.

though i mentioned curiosity about it in the pants-shitting horror thread, i'm surprised i never said anything else, either there or here. i think i liked it a tiny bit more than you, emil.y, but not enough to make a big deal over. viewing it as an ambitious but essentially "homemade" piece of guerilla cinema helps paper over some of its flaws - ropy acting, tonal inconsistency, goal confusion. agree w/ what jjj said in the horror thread, that the bad & awkward jokes help amplify the lynchian creep factor, though i'm not so convinced that the effect is 100% intentional.

The movie's attempts at bizarro gross-out humor aren't jarring or button-pushing enough to get under your skin in the way they seemingly intend to. Mostly it's just dumb and puerile.

Tim and Eric do this kind of thing better.

can't believe this thread doesn't have alfred post about getting drunk at epcot

Nah, disagree with this. If you were making a case for the glaring use of green screen amplifying the weirdness, that I would agree with, or even the ropy acting, yeah sure I'll accept that. But the jizz jokes etc were just pretty obvious jizz jokes, that I confess I giggled at b/c I have a very puerile sense of humour, but they totally shifted the mood of the film and my response to it. I felt that some of the psychological response to the sensory overload of Disneyland was so perfectly done, but the psychosexual bits were either the aforementioned shit jokes or seemed like the actions of a perfectly sane skeezy creepy dude, not an indication of a deep troubled mind/shifting reality.
