Granted, I harbored absolutely zero expectations to this 2025 horror movie, as I've watched the likes of horror movies taking on classic characters such as Winnie the Pooh, Piglet and Popeye, and they haven't exactly been stellar movies. Yet, I still opted to watch "Mouse of Horrors" on account of it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen before.
Writers Harry Boxley and Marc Gottlieb put together a fair enough script. Sure, it was rather generic, even for a slasher movie, but it proved to be entertaining enough for the silly premise that it was.
So the movie ties in with the 2023 "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey" movie and the 2024 "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey II" movie, as killer Pooh shows up in the narrative.
The only familiar face on the cast list was Danielle Scott. Yeah, I've seen enough low budget horror movies to be familiar with her. The acting performances in "Mouse of Horrors" were actually fair enough, taking into consideration the premise of the script.
Visually, I found the movie to be adequate. There are some viscerally graphic murder scenes which made up for the otherwise bland storyline. Most of the special effects were actually not bad, but some were just laughable to look at.
The movie is tacky, sure. And if you are a diehard horror fan then I doubt you'll find much entertainment in the movie. But if you don't mind your horror movies mixed with a hefty doze of silly concepts, then perhaps you'll find some enjoyment in "Mouse of Horrors". I found "Mouse of Horrors" suitable enough for a single viewing.
My rating of director Brendan Petrizzo's 2025 movie "Mouse of Horrors" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Not as bad as the rating would suggest, it's quite abit better then I'd of presumed and going into this I was heavily excited. The location was fun, the funfair makes for some great looking views and scares, and ultimately it was more fun then it had any right of being.
The Mouse was scary, and he had multiple abilities that is what made him terrifying. And the fact he had a creepy smile, Hauntingly brilliant teeth, and a weapon made him a threat and made him seem scarier then he could of been. So fair play to the props team. Winnie the Pooh costume is also here, and his costume is fine, but what made him scary was his slowness, calmness and he could hit you at any moment and you wouldn't notice. The fight scenes between the villains added a nice spark.
The bad bits would be the story could have been more fleshed out, as theirs the kills and the final stage that took up quite abit of time, for me it would of worked more had it been more fleshed out and took that time to establish some of the folklaw of the villains, and some more material to work with, when near the villains as that would of given it the chill.
The script is great as you can really feel the characters are friends, and even the first part was also good and the scenes were played out nicely which was also good. The script was great but again it had of been better if they had more material to work with when the villains were near it would of been great, but it's still a good script so it deserves some props.
The Movie is short in terms of story, and simple to follow, but a more fleshed out film with more of the folklaw, with slightly more bonding near the villains and everything would of made it a Good film, but it's not bad and I think it's Average Entertainment.
I'd rate this film a 4 Because half of it is good, and the minor flaws and a few suggestions I made would improve the film. Not bad though, either.

I usually give low budget films credit but I could not with this one.
This film had me hooked! Sure there were a few bad bits of dialogue and acting but that's what comes with low budget films and I love it! But then the ending arrived... And the whole film just collapsed and fell apart.
This editing had to be (I'm sorry to the editor but I have to be brutally honest.) some of the WORST editing I have ever seen. The sound effects are absolutely awful and the attempt at CGI is absolutely laughable.
Lewis Santer brought this film alive with his acting, but other than that, there's not a lot of good things to say. The editing, CGI, and sound work drag this film down extremely. The dialogue is pretty bad too.
I'm not even sure if this or The Mouse Trap was worse. That's saying a lot because The Mouse Trap was straight ass. Stop making Mickey Mouse horror films because there is no right way to do it.

If you have the time to watch this epic failure, don't. It would be more enjoyable to be stuck in traffic while holding in diarrhea. Seriously, I have done both and shatting myself at least had some relief.
Now for this doodie bomb. Brendan Petrizzo "directs" this disaster that makes no sense and has no story. The sound is more horrible than the "cinematography". You can't hear anyone. It looks like it was shot on an early iPhone but saying that would be an insult to the hard working people at Apple. I wonder what it was like to be on set and say "Cut, I think we got it. Moving on." And then "editing" it? The nerve!
How does one have that confidence or show their face in public?
There's so many films out there waiting to be made and somehow this stinker squeezed out through the Tubi cocky tube.

I don't know know where to begin. Everyone in this movie is stupid and wants to die., apparently? No one runs from the killer. Most of them are literally walking away from the masked killer they're so afraid of. The time sequences make no sense. One minute the killer is maiming a "teen"in a completely different section of the park and the next minute, they're chasing a different person on the opposite end. At one point the killer is fighting with his brother, Pooh bear, on land and in the next cut, they're on a boat.
The editing was terrible. The dubbing was horrible and the sound effects didn't match at all. There was random audience clapping throughout that made no sense. The CGI at the ending was atrocious (they obviously gave up at the end).
Just, nothing made sense. The character's actions made no sense. The dialogue made no sense. And they had the nerve to allude to ANOTHER DAMN MOVIE!!! No one wants that. Everyone involved in this abomination needs to be banned from cinema.

I literally had to make an IMDB account to give this movie a review. Me and my sister always try to find the dumbest movies on Tubi to watch. I'm a huge horror fan and she gets scared easily, so we try to just watch silly things.
This is likely the worst movie I've ever seen. It was laughable. Bad sound effects, the story didn't flow, why was Pooh from Blood and Honey in it? People would be in one setting one minute then a different one in 2 seconds. And there was a moment where something SO STUPID happens I mean had NOTHING to do with the story. I don't know how this was funded or made. I genuinely appreciate independent cinema, but this was like a teenager with a camera wanted to make a movie with his friends or something. If you wanna laugh and waste a couple hours of time I would deff check this one out.

This is easily the worst movie I've ever had the displeasure of watching. It was garbage from start to finish.
The acting is easily the worst I've seen. In scenes where they're being hunted down, everyone looks kind of bored. It felt like it's a college project where they had $50 to make a whole movie, didn't focus on writing a script at all, and used the $50 to buy day passes to their local amusement park. The only direction they gave the mouse character was "act like Art the Clown if he were given no direction, no props, and tragically bad acting to bounce off of".
The sound effects made me realize that there aren't any rules against hiring a 3 year old to do the heavy lifting in the editing booth. They spammed the same few sounds the entire movie, it felt like the days of Vine where the boom sound effect was spammed every 5 seconds. The punching and walking sound effects were the most egregious use of sound effects editing out of hundreds of movies that I've watched. I'm nearly certain they repurposed the Minecraft walking sound for this.
It works much better as a comedy because of how stupid it is. Wow. I actually can't believe this.

Taking on a special trip, a group of friends decides to head out to a local amusement park as part of the trip as a special going away present but learn that the area is home to a mad scientist and his killer henchmen gathering victims to create a monstrous bride and must get away alive.
This was a generally fun if flawed genre effort. When this one works is due to the immensely silly and over-the-top setup that provides the film a chance to be a generally gruesome and bloody slasher. The central premise at play here offers up enough to like, featuring the group of friends heading out to an amusement park as a going-away trip for one of the group before deciding to stay behind where they find themselves being trapped and targeted by the psychotic killer looking for body parts for his master creating a specific race of beings from the collected pieces. This doesn't stretch the boundaries all that much but manages to accomplish the necessary tasks of getting the people together to a remote location and set upon by a mute killer picking them off one by one in the best slasher traditions which gets rather clumsy with how they continually make the worst decisions possible to stay there but still manages to bring them together in the clutches of the doctor and his animal mask killers in fine order. The other rather impressive aspect here is the way this gets the killer unleashed and ready to work. The demented mouse mask and twisted smile utilized here create a chilling look that's even more out there due to the silent mime-like movement that manages to imbue the killer with a wholly unnerving quality. Getting the chance to run wild within the park using this setup makes for some fun times as the killer stalks various figures around the park before getting to the friends which leads to the encounter at the Dodge'Em cars, a fine stalking through the Tilt-a-Whirl section, and a brawl with the suspected hero during a confrontation in the park. Given that these all manage to offer up some immensely effective and graphic kills where victims are decapitated, smashed open with mallets, have their limbs amputated, or get disemboweled among others, there's a slew of bloodshed here that goes nicely alongside the outcome of the graphic Frankenstein-like experiments at the center of the rampage which are all that come together to work for this one. There are some big issues present here. The main issue is the general sense of stupidity present here that manages to run rampant in the film. The characters are all abject morons who spend their time looking unconvincingly at the killer approaching them only to then get attacked or killed by the killer who was looking at them the entire time, rendering a lot of the attack scenes to be rather comical. There's little motivation for the doctor to unleash the brothers against each other as this offers such a disappointing and lackluster finale that there's a weak finish to this one that tends to forgo the human victims for a large period that needs the humans interacting with the killer. As well, there's also a bizarre feat during most of the various interactions where they disappear and reappear in different environments which looks cheap and obvious during these sequences, making for enough issues that all hold it back.

It isn't all bad to be completely fair.
Save for some of the random victims, the acting's fine. The movie doesn't look inherently bad and the gore and kills are all decent to well done.
But the movie ignores the characters you're supposed to care about to a ridiculous level. That might be fine but there's little to no backstory or character interaction at all in the meantime. It's just killing. No rhyme, no reason, and more often than not, not entertaining.
Ultimately it's slow. There's shockingly little story and just focusing on the characters doesn't even happen. It's genuinely difficult to spoil anything about it.
Gratuitous. Kinda the only word.
I'd skip this one.

Yes, it's another sort-of Mickey Mouse (& in this case, a sort-of Winnie the Pooh), but unlike The Mouse Trap, this time we have a British fun fair rather than an American Amusement Arcade. Again, it's a killing spree, though there is a plot and it's loosely a gory Bride of Frankenstein remake.
And again, Mickey is not mentioned by name, even calling him a rat (likewise for Pooh, it is a creation who looks similar but the inspiration is not named).
Sure, the editing isn't brilliant, while the sound effects are way OTT, and the effects, acting and direction are, well, low-budget, but the film is entertaining enough.
Credit has to go to Quint, who provide all the music tracks.
Despite all the nay-sayers, it's not that bad! Okay, so that's not a full recommendation, but if you like low-budget horror, especially slasher films, watch it with an open mind (and preferably a few drinks).

I recently watched the UK film 🇬🇧 Mouse of Horrors (2025) on Tubi. The story follows Dr. Rupert and his latest creation-a killer mouse-who stalks a coastal city's amusement parks, collecting body parts in hopes that the doctor will build him a female companion.
Directed by Brendan Petrizzo (Devil's Triangle), the film stars Lewis Santer (Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2), Stephen Staley (Curse of Bloody Mary), Natasha Tosini (Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey), and Allie Moreno (Don't Blame Karma).
The premise, story, and overall execution are about as bad as you'd expect. That said, the kills and settings were exactly what I was hoping for. While there's an overuse of intestines-especially characters playing with them-the kill scenes are surprisingly entertaining, executed with intensity and more solid gore than I anticipated. I also appreciated the nods to the Pooh horror universe. Yes, the CGI corpses and flies were awful, but the kill sequences held my attention.
In conclusion, Mouse of Horrors is a bad movie, but it has a few elements that dedicated horror fans might enjoy. I'd rate it a 3.5/10 and only recommend it with the right expectations.

This movie really takes the cake when it comes to all of the new Horrors about the old-school cartoon characters there is no way that any of the others come remotely close to how good this movie. You have to watch it if you think this is gonna be one of the bestat what it tries for you're not going to regret it. This is definitely the best at being the worst recreation ever.
The acting is terrible, even the gore is easily the worst of the group. Probably the only positive thing is tgat Pooh Bear is in it.
If you want to watch any of the titles that are remotely close to good Popeye the Slayer Man is the way to go.

I recently had the pleasure of watching this movie with a group of my closest friends, and I can honestly say it was one of the most incredible viewing experiences we've ever had together. From the very beginning, we were completely hooked. There's something so powerful about a movie that captures your attention so completely that you genuinely can't take your eyes off the screen-and that's exactly what happened. As soon as the opening scene began, we were drawn in, and we didn't even think about pausing it or checking our phones. It was as though time stopped, and the world around us disappeared for those couple of hours.
What made the experience even better was that I wasn't watching it alone. Sharing something so captivating with friends really amplifies the impact of a film. We found ourselves gasping at the same moments, laughing out loud together, and whispering reactions during the quieter scenes. It was more than just watching a movie-it felt like being part of something bigger. Every twist and turn had us leaning forward, trying to predict what would happen next, but still being surprised every time. The storytelling was that good.
The cinematography was absolutely stunning. Every shot seemed thoughtfully composed, and the visual style complemented the story perfectly. Whether it was a wide panoramic view or a close-up of a character's expression, the visuals always conveyed something important and added depth to the narrative. The lighting, color palettes, and camera movements worked together seamlessly to create a mood that shifted with the tone of the story. It was visually engaging in a way that made the whole thing feel even more immersive.
Another element that stood out was the acting. The performances were truly top-notch. Each actor brought their character to life in such a believable and emotional way that we felt like we really knew them. Their motivations, struggles, and triumphs felt genuine, and that emotional realism made the plot even more impactful. You could tell that the cast gave their all to their roles, and it paid off tremendously. The chemistry between the actors was strong, which added authenticity to their relationships and made the story even more compelling.
The soundtrack also deserves special mention. The music wasn't just background noise-it was an integral part of the storytelling. The score heightened the emotional moments, amplified the tension during suspenseful scenes, and added energy to the more action-packed sequences. At times, the music alone gave me chills. It was clear that a lot of care went into choosing or composing each piece of music, and it made the experience that much more memorable.
As soon as the credits rolled, we all just sat there in silence for a moment, trying to process everything we'd just watched. Then we immediately started talking about our favorite scenes, quoting memorable lines, and even debating some of the plot twists. That's how you know a movie has made an impact-it sticks with you long after it's over. It sparked conversation, left us thinking, and made us feel something real. We even joked about watching it again right away, just to catch all the little details we might have missed the first time.
I genuinely believe this is a movie that everyone should watch. It's rare to find something that combines strong storytelling, emotional depth, and visual beauty so effectively. Whether you're watching alone or with friends, it's a film that pulls you in and refuses to let go. It reminds you of why movies matter-how they can entertain, move, and inspire us all at once. I know it's a film I'll be recommending to others for a long time.
