Willy's Wonderland

This movie borrows a lot from the Five Nights at Freddy's game with fun family robots not doing quite what they are supposed to do!

This movie couldn't be any more perfect as a vehicle for all the things that make Cage, Cage. He is wonderfully over the top as he dominates the movie from start to finish.

Lots of fun moments and oodles of blood/oil spilt to make it a good time for all.

One of my favourite aspects of the movie is they don't explain anything about Cage's character, you can literally put your own story (the who is this guy) onto him. Its brilliant.

Its super silly, outrageous fun :)

A completely off-the-wall B movie that seems to be a cross between CABIN IN THE WOODS and A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS. With animatronics. Starring what used to be the top A-list actor on the planet. Who seems to have no actual dialog to deliver. And partly paid for by product placement for GM because all the vehicles in it are branded for the camera. There are a number of theories. My personal favorite is that this was actual footage shot by a reality crew following Nic Cage on a typical night out. In other words, this s**t happens to Nic on a regular basis. The other theory is that Nic got tired of being in everyone else's B movies, so he decided to make one of his own. Fun and holds the attention. Like a car accident where the victims get back into their cars and crash all over again. Could easily become a cult classic.

Unfortunately, the good nonsense (Cage as a mute monster fighter obsessed with pinball, the design of Willy's Wonderland) is lost in the bad nonsense (cheap filmmaking, lazy storytelling, complete illogic between scenes). I would love to see a better filmmaker (Edgar Wright, James Gunn, Rogen/Goldberg), or even a much worse filmmaker, take on a possessed-Chuck-E-Cheese story...but I feel like this might've been the one chance, and we BLEW it!

B-movie horror fans will love this film. It's Nicolas Cage running around slaughtering animatronic puppets. That's literally it. If that's your thing, give it a watch. If not, don't waste your time. 5 stars

The film is thoroughly enjoyable, it's far from being an amazing film, but take it at what it is, and nic cage doing the cage effect! A good way to kill 90 odd minutes, I did have myself a few chuckles throughout, don't expect a plot or anything haha, just enjoy another great nic cage experience. Get some good popcorn in, and something to drink and enjoy!
