Bad Trips

A series of films in which the best-laid schemes for rest and relaxation turn traumatic, as a consolation prize for those of us stuck in the city for the summer. A canoeing trip in the backwoods of Georgia? A family holiday in Morocco? A daddy-daughter birthday trip to Busan? A country getaway to Lake Winnipesaukee? You can’t call AAA when you’re faced with rabid rednecks, cloak-and-dagger kidnappers, zombie epidemics, a gruelingly neurotic Bill Murray, or some of the other unexpected perils that might best be avoided by just putting the suitcases away and heading to the movies instead.
