Escape from Tomorrow (2013)

Escape From Tomorrow is simultaneously engrossing and incredibly frustrating. The guerrilla film managed to capture some fantastic footage, and most of the performances are solid, but the script just isn't there. It's unlikely that anyone will pull off something like Escape From Tomorrow again, and the wasted opportunity left me with a palpable sense of disappointment.

Sometimes the movie feels like it's trying to be a black comedy, but it never manages to be funny. It's better when it's going for dark, creepy, or just out and out weird, but even that doesn't quite work. The script clearly needed a lot of editing, and it's a shame it didn't get it before this was filmed. As is, it's not a very good movie, but it still makes for a riveting watch.
