Mickey's Mouse Trap

The worst film I've ever seen..and I've seen many recently. Appalling acting and shocking direction. Hard to categorise, neither a horror or comedy.

Plot Man in Mickey Mouse mask slaughters annoying teens who I don't give a Donald Duck about in an arcade... It makes The Winnie the Poo catastrophe look like Friday the 13th.

If you like watching drawn out shots of kids play air hockey or arcade games, then this is for you.

Surely there are better directors, screenwriters and actors out there. Surprised by Simon Phillips, his resume, even though not perfect has some above average performances.

Think the producers are taking the Mickey?

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?!

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.

As a fan of mystery films, I was excited to see The Mouse Trap, hoping for an engaging story with clever twists. Unfortunately, the movie fails to deliver on nearly every front. The pacing drags, making the film feel far longer than it should, and the characters are so underdeveloped that it's hard to care about what happens to them.

The mystery itself is predictable, with no real surprises or moments of tension. Even the "big reveal" falls flat, lacking the cleverness or impact that a good mystery demands. Visually, the film is uninspired, and the dialogue feels wooden and unnatural, as though the actors themselves were as bored as I was watching it.

Overall, The Mouse Trap offers little more than a forgettable, uninspired experience that barely justifies its runtime. Save your time and look for a mystery that actually delivers on its promise.

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.
