A horror movie, Escape from Tomorrow is about a man named Jim White slowly losing his mind throughout his family’s vacation to the Disney park.

But honestly, how hard can it be to shoot a low-budget black-and-white indie under the noses of security when every Joe Blow in the theme park is busy taking selfies with the nanocameras of today?
