PDA has released the first trailer and poster for director Randy Moore‘s Escape from Tomorrow, which was shot guerrilla style at Disneyland and Disney World depicting one man’s descent into madness in the happiest place on Earth in an epic battle between an unemployed, middle-aged father and two teenage girls he meets on vacation.
Here’s the official synopsis:
An epic battle begins when a middle-aged American husband and father of two learns that he has lost his job. Keeping the news from his nagging wife and wound-up children, he packs up the family and embarks on a full day of park hopping amid enchanted castles and fairytale princesses. Soon, the manufactured mirth of the fantasy land around him begins to haunt his subconscious. An idyllic family vacation quickly unravels into a surrealist nightmare of paranoid visions, bizarre encounters, and an obsessive pursuit of a pair of sexy teenage Parisians. Chillingly shot in black and white, ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW dissects the mythology of artificial perfection while subversively attacking our culture’s obsession with mass entertainment.
The film is set to hit limited theaters and VOD on October 11 followed by a nationwide expansion, with how far it expands likely depending on early results and perceived demand.
Escape from Tomorrow was well received at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and is definitely fascinating due to how it was made. Check out the trailer and the bloody Mickey poster directly below and let me know what you think.
