The movie is in black & white, and it was shot without the knowledge or permission of Disney, which gained it a certain degree of notoriety. I guess it's supposed to be a sort of horror movie, but most of it has nothing resembling horror. There is some psychological horror, eventually, but it's still mostly... not something I could even put a genre to. It's just too random.

A man named Jim goes to Disney World with his wife Emily and their young children Sara and Elliott. The movie takes place on the last day of their vacation. In the morning, Jim learns over the phone that he's lost his job. He tries to enjoy his last day, without telling Emily that he was fired. But... I dunno what to say. I don't want to even try to describe any more of the plot. You can read about it on Wikipedia or something, if you care. I'll just say most of the movie is boring, but the whole thing is weird, and eventually it gets truly bizarre. Is it really worth watching? I'll leave that up to the individual, but I'd say basically no. I'm glad to have seen it only so that I can stop wanting to see it. And it kind of makes me not care that I've never had a chance to go to any theme park.
