“This place is paradise… until it’s not.” Black Mandala + Tubi have revealed one more official trailer for the film Escaping Paradise, a campy action thriller from filmmaker Paul Tanter. This was already released earlier in the year, however with Tubi premiering it soon they’ve put out the trailer with their tag. When a young couple vacations on an exotic island, they encounter a dangerous fugitive who is determined to keep them from leaving. This seems to be set in the Philippines but they never mention it. Another one of these projects they made just so they could take a vacation and write off expenses, while making a junk action film no one will watch. It stars Deji LaRay, Shayla Hale, Michael Bacalso, Ken Bressers, Andrew Davis II, Kylah Dela Peña, with Simon Phillips as Kane. Of course this guy just happens to be a former Black Ops, firearms expert, blah blah because what would an action movie without this kind of cliche “twist” in it.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Paul Tanter’s Escaping Paradise, direct from YouTube:
