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.

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?!
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.

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).

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...
