Review of Willy's Wonderland (2021) by Realdirtydan — 14 Feb 2021

I rate films on one principle only, "Is it any good?". I don't care if it's meant to be a brainless popcorn flick or an art piece vying for an award, doesn't matter to me, if it's no good I'll tell it like it is.

Willy's Wonderland is the worst thing I've seen in 2021 so far. I couldn't even begin to list off everything wrong with the film. From an unoriginal premise, to bad acting (most notably by the female lead), really dumb supporting characters, logic being thrown out every few minutes, and laughably bad special effects just to name a few things. The potential for something was there, but it was executed horribly.

What saves this from being a 0 is of course is the film's lone star actor, Nicholas Cage. While his character is a man of few words (if any at all), it is enjoyable watching him nonchalantly doing his job as the janitor and fighting demon animatronics, all the while taking a few breaks here and there.

As people would say, this is a movie you turn your brain off for, although there's no effort needed, you kinda start to drool as you watch along. I would best describe it as a C-Movie with a B-Movie budget. If you like Nick Cage and bad B-Movies, go for it. If you're looking for a serviceable horror flick, pass.
