Mickey's Mouse Trap

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.

So, since these old classics are in Public domain, anyone can make a movie. Yet with this movie, we see that some people should not do movies at all... We saw winnie the pooh Blood and honey 1, which was very bad, yet they upped their game in the sequel which was quite good for what it is. And then we have this.... Definitely the worst ive seen in a while, and i've watched plenty of Troma movies recently.

Lets start with 1 good thing. Cinematography is not terrible. While it's not Kubric, lol , it was not terrible at all. No fancy camera work, but you get what's happening, and the quality was actually good. Lighting was ok, even as there are plenty of secnes in the dark. They did 1 good job here.

And that's all i can say as good about the movie. Acting was from bad to terrible. But the worst part was the script and dialogues. Yes, i know these actors are inexperienced, but the bad dialogue and script didn't help them at all. And the ending - lol. Definitely a textbook case of how NOT to end a movie.

Anyway,not recommended. Unlike winnie the pooh, this is unwatchable.

It wasn't the absolute worst... I've said this about a lot of these type films. I've seen worse, acting, editing, directing, and cinematography (I grew up on 80's B-Movie horror)... but, it just didn't have anything redeeming about it.

I get that you need to put this out with as small a budget as possible, but you end up with a medicocre film when there's only one person with more than 1 acting credit (other than this film) to their name.

It's painfully obvious (without even looking at their IMDB pages) which have experience and those that do not. It looks like a mediocre student film... there's no chemistry between any of the characters. They all look like they're just waiting their turn to read the lines... just not convincing as real dialogue.

Even the main actor (who has more credits to her name than the rest combined) isn't great... although, MUCH better than the rest. They literally look like they were chosen because they'd work for the exposure.

I have no issues with any of the dozen+ horror films of characters coming into the public domain, that are coming out. I just wish they were better done. I can't believe I'm saying this , but BOTH Winnie-the-Pooh horror films were actually better. I struggled to give this as many as 3 stars.

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]

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...
