I have no issue with strangeness in a movie, but this one left me asking how much of it was even necessary.
#ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW WATCH MOVIE#
Soon thereafter, he begins to lose his mind.” That minimal description made me think this was just going to be a standard B-movie.īut if you know what you’re getting into, maybe the last third of the movie might not seem quite as, well, weird. My utter confusion about how crazy-pants this movie gets can be attributed to the plot provided on Netflix – a mere “on the last day of a family vacation at Disney World, Jim learns that he’s lost his job. It’s more like the director really wants you to know he watched “Eraserhead” this weekend (and he totally gets it). However, this horror flick never becomes surreal in an immersive sense. It’s relatively easy to follow, but there’s a giant black cloud of “WHY?” hanging over the viewer’s head.Īfter reading the description and watching the first couple of scenes, I was expecting this low-budget flick to go along a “The Shining”-meets-slasher-film route, but then the slow burn of surreality kicks in and, before you know it, the movie straps you in for a one-way trip to Crazytown. That’s not to say that the plot of the movie is confusing. Thus begins his descent into madness, as well as the audience’s descent into a disorienting 90 minutes. The film follows a husband and father of two, Jim White (played by Roy Abramsohn), who is planning on enjoying his last day of vacation at Disney World with his family when he receives a call telling him that he has been fired from his job.
Have you ever just sat there and wondered what in the name of sweet you just saw? I’m assuming the name for this particular emotion is “Escape From Tomorrow,” coincidentally also the title of an independent horror movie you can find on Netflix.
