An encounter between a young woman and an older man ends up in an unexpected way.
Escape The Field is a serviceable horror thriller. The characters are easier to remember as horror character tropes. As I wrote this review, I only remembered the characters by their tropes: #FinalGirl, #Everyman, #Badass, #MeanB*/SexyGirl, #Realist/BlackLesbian, and #TheNerd.
Considering the runtime, I expected each scene to hit harder as opposed to a series of montages and vignettes.
This delightfully odd horror movie presents a whimsically strange alternate reality to younger audiences.
Another uneven "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" redux that says nothing novel about its subject matter.

Unrelentingly funny, highly entertaining, and ridiculously absurd, My Movie Starring Paul Dano is, according to its creator, Joe Bartone, a tribute to the willful ignorance of independent filmmaking found in the late '70s in New York City. Developed through open discussions with the cast at the reading table, the mockumentary follows a delusional and fame-starved indie director, Herman Rumowicz, through the process of making his very first feature movie starring Paul Dano.
