Mickey's Mouse Trap

In the vein of Winnie the Pooh, someone in this world jump on the occasion to grab a well known licence hense now free to make a cash grab as quickly as possible.

Even though I like the idea of using childhood figures to make a slasher movie, the execution is at best amateurish, at worst completely insipid. Gore enthusiast can chill, cause there is almost no slash appearing in front of the camera.

The only positive aspects of this awful production is the performance of Mackenzie Mills who seems to be the only one who is not overplaying, and the sets which are quite nice.

In the end, it will be erase from your memory in the few days following the viewing, until an even more desperate cash-grab sequel is on the way by the end of 2025, tops (personal forecast).

Obviously, I didn't expect much from this movie and thought it would align with Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, but boy, was I wrong. While Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey was bad, this movie takes things to an entirely new level of awful. The acting is god-awful, the dialogue is atrocious, and the characters are irritatingly stereotypical, becoming progressively more infuriating the longer you watch.

Even the story was a complete mess, with a script riddled with more holes than Swiss cheese. I'll keep this review short because I don't want to spend more time writing about this film than the creators likely spent making it. Just don't watch it, it's not even enjoyably bad. [2.4/10]

Okay, WHAT?!? One of the worst 1hour and 20 minutes of my life. What did I literally just watch? It's full of line reading, cheesy acting, and it doesn't even have any good kills!! If you're going to make a slasher movie, at least have bloody deaths!!! The acting is actually horrible.. like really, really horrible. The only decent actor/actress in this movie was Alex Fen's actress. She honestly seemed like the only actress/actor who seemed like she knew what her job was and how to do it. You can honestly tell that the majority of the actors have definitely never acted in a movie before. And Mickey Mouse doesn't even look like Mickey Mouse. Wtf?!

I went into The Mouse Trap with the lowest of expectations and still managed to be disappointed. Even with its short runtime, it drags. I tried my hardest to pay attention to the dialogue scenes, which is most of the movie, but I couldn't. I did laugh at parts because the script and acting were terrible throughout the whole film. It's insane that there's no drop of blood in a slasher film until over halfway through. Like over half of this thing, it's just Mickey standing and staring. It's almost like the director just like the iconic shots of killers like Ghostface, Jason, etc., and forcefully tried to give the killer these campy moments. Also, I can't begin to grasp the decisions that were made with this killer's voice or even having him speak in the first place. It felt like a caricature of Ghostface and even Jigsaw except less scary. It has so many missed opportunities. There are so many set pieces that could've been fun, but they were squandered. Even the kills are lame. It's such an atrocious film. Also, who was the goth girl, and how did she know everything? There was no reason to hop back and forth between this girl for the whole film just for her to be insignificant to the story. Another thing is that this has nothing to do with to do with the Disney IP. It's a shameless cash grab taking advantage of the public domain. Oh, we're getting a sequel to? Great...

On a real note, the concept, the title, and the story had real potential; it could've been a modern horror twist to what we grew up on. However, the execution was like an air ball layup. From the first scene through the last scene, you can notice the lack of experience behind the camera. Furthermore, the camera work during ambient scenes swapped the horror with comedy instead. The slasher villain in this movie had a very poor origin story, his entrance made no sense; therefore making the movie further unrealistic and unenjoyable. It wouldve been better if inspiration was taken by the famous slasher villan "Michael Myers," to improve audience scare effect and suspense. Not to mention, the plot was very predictable. In conclusion, the idea behind the film had potential but wasn't the best production.
