The final trailer has just dropped for Steamboat Willie-murderer slasher horror film The Mouse Trap… and to give it some props, it actually doesn’t look utterly unwatchable.
Of course, something not looking terrible is setting the bar pretty low, but maybe that’s where it has to be for this quick-let’s-make-a-few-bucks slasher movie. Here’s the official synopsis:
It’s Alex’s 21st birthday, but she’s stuck at the amusement arcade on a late shift so her friends decide to surprise her, but a masked killer dressed as Mickey Mouse decides to play a game of his own with them which she must survive.
Director Jamie Bailey said: “We just wanted to have fun with it all. I mean it’s Steamboat Willie‘s Mickey Mouse murdering people. It’s ridiculous. We ran with it and had fun doing it and I think it shows.”
He was also quoting saying: “We’re actually big fans of Disney in general—not just Disney reimagined into horror movies or something like that… so this is just our opportunity to be playful and creative with the character. And that’s exactly what we did. We had a ridiculous idea and we made it. Who doesn’t want to see Mickey Mouse killing people?”
I mean, I could have done without it, but there’s no point arguing over that now; what’s done is done.
The Mouse Trap stars Sophie McIntosh, Callum Sywyk, Allegra Nocita, Ben Harris, Damir Kovic, Mackenzie Mills, Nick Biskupek and Simon Phillips.
And this one will be out in March 2025. Will you give this a watch, or were you over it when it was first announced?
