Marie and Michelle are escaping from a lunatic asylum. Michelle is a tough girl who knows how to survive on the road, but the extremely shy Marie desperately clings to her until Michelle gives in and promises help. The two get into a lot of trouble which puts their friendship to a test.
Rollin's lost movie, and lost for a good reason, as the director told in several interviews (one on the British DVD, for example): it was simply so poor no distributor bought it. The director blames this mostly on the scriptwriter. The producer had hired someone to keep the director from continuing with his usual vampire mystery stuff, and that kind of co-operation against each other couldn't work. However, "The Escapees" has enough magic moments to be worth watching. Especially when people stop talking such as in the ending, or when Marie skates on the ice, imagining she is admired by a crowd, but only Michelle is secretly watching her.
南瓜影院网友评论：看之前还挺犹豫，逃亡者 真的有点撑不起期待。有些转折像临时写出来的，人物关系发展得太快。要不是都看到一半了，我可能早关了。
手机屏幕上看的时候看的 逃亡者，前面我还挺淡定，后面就慢慢有感觉了。台词太解释型了，怕观众看不懂似的，画面还行，但故事撑不起来，再加上有些桥段尬得我直接暂停。看完以后脑子里还会闪几个画面，如果你很期待，可能会失望。
