The premise

In a world of fake castles and anthropomorphic rodents, an epic battle begins when an unemployed father's sanity is challenged by a chance encounter with two underage girls on holiday.

Horror Vault's take

Shot guerrilla-style inside Disney World and Disneyland without official permission, this audacious black-and-white psychological horror-fantasy follows a family man on vacation whose grip on reality begins to unravel beneath the relentlessly cheerful surface of a famous theme park. What starts as an ordinary holiday sours into something deeply strange as the father becomes consumed by paranoid visions and unsettling obsessions. The film weaponises the uncanny gap between manufactured happiness and creeping dread, turning America's most beloved family destination into a waking nightmare. Its sheer brazenness as a production is as unnerving as the story it tells.
