With the annual Gold Coast Film Festival less than a half a month away now and the recent launch of the new “Film” section of The Otaku’s Study, I decided last week to begin a weekly article series to highlight films that I am personally very eager to check out during the event and will hopefully have a review up for in the very near future. Last week I looked at the live action film “Any Day Now“, and once again I am bypassing the animated films to focus on what seems to be the most unique film on offer.
The 2013 horror film Escape From Tomorrow is set to have its Australian Première on the last day of the festival (13th April 2014) at 1:30PM. The most distinct feature of this film is that it was filmed at the world-famous Disney World without anyone from Disney themselves finding out. Given the challenge of doing that successfully, I am very eager to see how they managed to pull it off, and the special effects they use to make what to the layman was an ordinary family trip to the theme park something completely terrifying.
It is very hard to find a horror film that can keep me up at night, so when coupled with the screening of “The Babadook” later that evening…. I am looking forward to hopefully having a very restless night from the duo.
Starring Roy Abramsohn, Elena Schuber, Katelynn Rodriguez and directed by Randy Moore, it tells the story of a father who takes his family on vacation to Disney World and soon finds the park environment become more sinister than ever expected.
