Escape from Tomorrow, 2013 - ★★½

I respect what they tried to make. A no budget production filmed in Disneyland.

I really liked the first half. We didn't know anything and some parts were genuinly creepy. After some things are revealed and some weird stuff happens, it just goes too far out there for me, at some point I wasn't really able to follow the plot anymore.

Also some scenes were clearly shot in a studio in front of a green screen.

In the end it is a highly ambitious, no-budget effort. It's not gonna win any oscars, it's not crazy good and to be honest, if it wasn't for the gimmick it would already be forgotten. That being said, sometimes a gimmick helps, and in the end I still enjoyed this and did not hate it. I'm rating it 2.5 out of 5 stars and a like.
