"Escape From Tomorrow" is a black & white film that was filmed guerilla style, in part, at Disneyland and Disney World. In other words, the filmmakers and cast went to the parks and filmed surreptitiously. Then, weaving in some scenes that were not made at the parks, they made a movie and released it.

The film is about a rather awful family. The little boy is a brat, the mother is a joyless and overly controlling women and the husband is a disgusting pervert who spends all his time thinking about sex and drinking. Does this sound like a pleasant recipe for a film? Good grief, no. During all this, the guy seems to slowly lose his mind and ultimately all sorts of weird, paranoid stuff begins happening at the happiest place on Earth.

I think the IDEA of this film is very good. I love the notion of tweaking the nose of a mega-corporation like Disney. However, had the husband been likable and not such a jerk, I really think it would have worked much, much better. Plus, some of the film is just ultra- disgusting---such as dad with explosive diarrhea on the toilet and the like! Seeing a likable schmo lose his mind among the chaos, heat and crowding at Disney is pretty funny--but this film was difficult to love because of the characters (especially but not including dad) and icky story elements. So, overall, it has an interesting idea and the plot is occasionally interesting- -but it's also fatally flawed and probably would not be appreciated by the casual viewer.

By the way, if you are nuts about Disney World, you can tell that much wasn't filmed there and that it must have been filmed and assembled well before 2013, as many of the rides changed well before this release date. This isn't really important--just pointing out that many Floridians with yearly passes will probably notice all this.

Also, why was the film made in black & white? It made me wonder...

I'm surprised they were allowed to shoot this on location. But then again, the movie does not really critisize Disneyland directly. But shots are being taken, though as it states right at the start, these are opinions by the filmmakers and have nothing to do with Walt Disney franchise and their world view (which obviously is different).

So the family nightmare is here and it is obvious. It is also quite bleak and it is mostly from the viewpoint of the father. A father of two kids who is chasing tail, and it's not a character from Disney ... Obviously you can see that he is wrong, on moral standpoints alone. I would not be surprised if some don't see anything wrong with it.

But there is a lot wrong with the stressed out Dad and how he perceives the world. And the movie digitally alters some of that reality. So if you don't mind taking a trip (more than literally),this is not so bad

In a world of fake castles and anthropomorphic rodents, an epic battle begins when an unemployed father (Roy Abramsohn)'s sanity is challenged by a chance encounter with two underage girls on holiday.

There is something to be said about the guerrilla filming technique. While often choppy or amateur looking, in this instance everything looks crisp and professional. That much of it was secret is not terribly obvious.

After principal photography was complete, Moore was so determined to keep the project a secret from Disney that he edited it in South Korea. This is an interesting twist -- was he expecting them to come to his door and haul off his equipment? Regardless, the folks who made "The Host" were involved, and that was a big boost.

The film has been compared to the work of Roman Polanski, Terry Gilliam and David Lynch. This may be going a bit far. While there are some moments (especially the Siemens scene) where such a comparison is understandable, there is no indication that Randy Moore will soon be on this list of all-time greats.
