The most underrated indie horror film ever to come to existence (and probably the first full-length feature movie shot in both Disney World and Disneyland.)
1 December 2019
When I first saw the trailer back in 2013, during sometime during its initial VOD release, I thought it would be the most terrifying and disturbing horror movie (on a level of Kubrick's cinematic adaptation of The Shining) that's worth sending chills down your spine. And yes. Of course the poster tried to make this movie look scary with Mickey's hand dripping with blood. I also saw a YouTube idol of mine doing a review for this movie as well. He seemed to enjoy it himself. I never knew it would like a documentary because of the cinematography and the way it was shot "guerrilla style" without either of both the Disney parks' permission. It seemed the director didn't give a flip about what he was gonna do to make this movie. Don't get me wrong. He does seem to care about his artistry by the way. The story follows a middle-aged family man who loses his job via phone call from his boss on the last day of his vacation with his family. While managing to keep the news to himself, he decides enjoy one last magical day at the Magic Kingdom. Meanwhile, on the rides, he begins suffer strange and creepy hallucinations. Soon after during the day, he begins to follow around a pair of pretty teenage Parisian girls around the park and then his sanity becomes threatened by an obese visitor bound in a scooter, a mysterious woman with a hypnotizing amulet and a secret quasi-futuristic facility consisting of rogue scientists and engineers who have performed uncanny experiments on the man when he was a kid. One year later, I first saw the movie for the first time and I thought "Wow... There was something." Now I actually own the movie on DVD which I bought from Vintage Stock, the following afternoon I watched Quentin Tarantino's latest feature film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" with my parents and bes friend. If you are looking for a modern cult classic to see, this is the movie recommend watching.
