Escape From Tomorrow is possibly the worst movie ever made. The "story" such as it is, has no arc, and leads nowhere. The acting is horrible and wooden. Much of the film appears to be random footage that doesn't contribute to the narrative. The camera work was shaky and amateurish, the lighting was harsh and the choice of black and white did not really do anything to advance the atmosphere I assume the filmmaker was going for. Nothing that occurs seems even remotely plausible, even if one suspends disbelief. This movie doesn't know what it wants to be--a straight horror film or a black comedy. It was neither. I get it that this was a "guerilla" film, secretly filmed at Disney, without Disney's permission, etc. That's not enough--there needs to be a story, an unfolding narrative, and characters I can identify with or care about. I watched it all the way to the end, hoping it would finally make sense, but it never did.
