"A Horror Flick Secretly Filmed at Disneyland. What Could Go Wrong?"

This article, written by Asawin Suebsaeng, details the controversy around the making of a “guerilla” style horror film, entitled, “Escape from Tomorrow”,  which premiered as one of the biggest hits at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Randall Moore, the film’s creator, bravely decided to film his movie at the infamous Disneyland theme park without Disney Corporation’s consent. The film features disturbing content that is certainly not synonymous with the ideas of childish joy and innocence that are typically associated with the park. The film is said to feature bizarre and twisted plot elements and characters doing shocking things such as “vomiting and defecating simultaneously at the theme park.” The film is drawing a lot of attention, not only due to the interesting dichotomy of dark themes explored within the confines of what has been dubbed, “the happiest place on Earth”, but also because Moore may be facing some very serious legal charges for his choice to create the film without getting the go-ahead from Disney. Because the film depicts Disneyland in such a negative light, it is very probable that Moore will face legal consequences for his bold actions. Moore chose to handle the post-production editing for his film primarily in Korea so Disney would be less likely to uncover his plan of action. Suebsaeng argues that the controversy around the film only makes it even more attractive to broader audiences. “Escape from Tomorrow” can be found online and is most likely worth a look before the Big Bad Walt Disney Company cracks and makes it disappear forever.
