Strange and crazy idea at the same time, coupled with a "special performance" by Cage. For the fans of Nick Cage this is a treat, he is giving the audience what it needs. If someone remembers the SNL skit "why am i not in that moviee?" then they know that Cage could not have said no to this one. The story is simple: he gets stuck somehow in a random town and agrees to work for a night in Willy's Wonderland. Shortly after he has to fight against an evil bunch of animatronics, while consuming energy drinks and being nick cage. I have to admit that the work on the animatronics was good, sound mixing was good and the fight scenes were ranging from funny to fun. Don't expect to be very (or at all) scared; maybe just creeped out by the animatronics. Obviously, don't take this film seriously. It's campy enough and does a weird tribute to this horror genre and to Nick Cage maybe... But it is definitely entertaining. 6 /10

B-movie horror fans will love this film. It's Nicolas Cage running around slaughtering animatronic puppets. That's literally it. If that's your thing, give it a watch. If not, don't waste your time. 5 stars

The film is thoroughly enjoyable, it's far from being an amazing film, but take it at what it is, and nic cage doing the cage effect! A good way to kill 90 odd minutes, I did have myself a few chuckles throughout, don't expect a plot or anything haha, just enjoy another great nic cage experience. Get some good popcorn in, and something to drink and enjoy!

Unfortunately, the good nonsense (Cage as a mute monster fighter obsessed with pinball, the design of Willy's Wonderland) is lost in the bad nonsense (cheap filmmaking, lazy storytelling, complete illogic between scenes). I would love to see a better filmmaker (Edgar Wright, James Gunn, Rogen/Goldberg), or even a much worse filmmaker, take on a possessed-Chuck-E-Cheese story...but I feel like this might've been the one chance, and we BLEW it!

A completely off-the-wall B movie that seems to be a cross between CABIN IN THE WOODS and A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS. With animatronics. Starring what used to be the top A-list actor on the planet. Who seems to have no actual dialog to deliver. And partly paid for by product placement for GM because all the vehicles in it are branded for the camera. There are a number of theories. My personal favorite is that this was actual footage shot by a reality crew following Nic Cage on a typical night out. In other words, this s**t happens to Nic on a regular basis. The other theory is that Nic got tired of being in everyone else's B movies, so he decided to make one of his own. Fun and holds the attention. Like a car accident where the victims get back into their cars and crash all over again. Could easily become a cult classic.

The dialogue is so bad, Nicholas Cage decides to spend the entire movie glaring into the camera rather than speak a word of it. The poor guy just wants to clean the set and get this movie over with as soon as possible, but the other actors keep getting in his way. Fortunately he has a ready supply of bin bags...

This film would have been far better if you literally stripped out every scene that didn't involve Nicholas Cage.

I enjoyed this movie. It was pretty contained and I think used it's script and budget really well together.

This film does seem a lot cheaper than it actually is, I think most of the money was probably spent on Nicholas Cage. I do however think that they used it well and it didn't really need any more spending on it. I think where it shows it most is the other actors. Some feel like they may have actually just found them in the town they shot at. It doesn't detract from the film it just kind of sticks out a little bit.

I think the story is pretty interesting too. It was a little bit different which I appreciated. I think the action was pretty engaging too. I will say at some points the film did sag a little bit and I was like this feels a lot longer than an hour and a half. But for the most part it clipped along.

I do think the comedy let it down a little. Some of the jokes were just awful and not funny. You can tell it is meant to be a comedic beat but I honestly was like "that was a joke?".

I thought the movie looked pretty good for the most part too.

I would give it a watch.

The story is basically about Nicholas Cage fighting murderous robots. It is funny that he seems superhuman, and doesn't talk at all. It's entertaining.

I don't know where to begin, but if you can find out what kind of cleaning solution he was using I'd love to know.

I won't say anything wrong about this film, this unidentified filmed object, because I don't know what to think about it. It's not for all audiences anyway. It's totally crazy, unpredictable, jaw dropping, even if I found it boring and unbearable for my taste. But it remains worth seeing for anyone seeking something different and fun. Cage is excellent here, but that's not enough for me to torture me one second more.

With the crazy time the world has been in, sometimes we just need to watch a silly film and Willy's Wonderland fits that criteria and I watched it today and here is my review for it. The premise of the film sees a drifter tricked into becoming a janitor for a former funland where he has to fight for his life.

Main Character The great Nicolas Cage plays the lead role here and he just really fits this film and shows his charismatic demeanour. He is a character that doesn't say much and through just his actions and facial expressions you get all the information that you need from his character. I mean though I will argue that maybe we could have done with even more crazy Cage here and a bit more intrigue added, I just felt like there was a bit more that could have been done here with the character.

Supporting Characters I mean the rest of the cast isn't worth anything, there are a bunch of younger actors who are here for one clear reason. I'm not gonna say what that is but I am pretty sure everybody knows and they are all bad actors and were bad here. Emily Tosta and Beth Grant play the largest supporting roles but they offer nothing and really feels like they are here for exposition sequences that are really forced and feel out of place.

Story The idea of the story is fun, seeing Nicolas Cage go against these robots in this setting is good and there are some pretty glorious fights that range to the absurd. But this film gets a bit too bogged down on its plot, it is at its best when it is Cage versus the robots but it brings in these other characters with back stories and I just didn't care and it took away from the film.

Script The script is pretty awful, the dialogue is really bad when it happens, the writers bogged down the plot too much and tried to do too much, I mean they could have done it but at least try and do it better then long exposition sequences.

Style The film looks like it was made for about a £100 but I actually thought that was part of the charm. It looks unpolished and cheap but works and makes the action scenes feel more gritty. I mean these scenes are great and had me laughing throughout and that made me enjoy the film way more then I should have, also the film has a great runtime of only 90 mins.

Overall Overall, I would say this is a below average film and it is. But I can't deny that I had some fun with this film and if you aren't a film purist and want something to laugh with and turn your mind off then I would actually say this could be worth a watch.

Rating - 4/10.

The movie has no intentions on being anything but what it is. Nic Cage fighting robots for an hour and a half. And it's awesome.

What happens when you drop a** kickin' Nicolas Cage in a Feebles/Killer Klowns universe ? Exactly what you'd expect. No words, no explanation to his character except punches, kicks and final blows, Cage is at his best doing exactly what you love to see him do. While he's known for award winning and AAA blockbuster performances, I always enjoy seeing him in projects no one but him would accept and pull to their best potential. In recent years, Mom and Dad, Mandy & Color out of space really gained points with his mere presence, and boy does he shine when he's having fun. On par with those, this is a refreshing flick and I'm really hoping we keep seeing more pop up from time to time. And while many horror and indie flicks get forgotten over the years, this one will be remembered by everyone who gave a chance to the experience.

I get cheese. It's often my favorite topping. However this isn't even cheese. It's processed cheese. It's as if the Director said, "I want to make a guilty pleasure" and left out the pleasure.

Acting: non existent Plot: 5 nights at Freddys mixed with a dash of lower tier Cage. Direction: I don't think anyone was actually working on set.

I'm a huge fan of cult/edgy film. This isn't even good for a bunch of students trying to get YouTube views.

I just hate that people who dont know a thing about a genre get to rate it. They're Shakespeare lovers, or bore ass biographical film nuts or period piece. This is a fun genre that doesnt get it's due, comedy horror, and when done right is a blast. You dont need character development because you kill the characters it's just suppose to be decent action, decent gore, decent comedy and you'll get a excellent reward!! This will be a cult favorite. So all comedy horror fans dont watch this ...BUY the bluray!!!!

Pure garbage. This is one of those trash DVD that end up selling for $1 in the Dollar Tree and no one buys unless someone needs something to put under a wobbly table.

If you are wanting a over the top action horror biased off of video games like 5 night at Freddie's then this is the movie for you. The whole movie is overall fun and doesnt need much thought its easily put together and is well filmed . The acting wasnt bad the cg was old and needed some help but still fun. while not a perfect movie it was a fun hour and half . if your into over the top movies that pile on the goofy crazy tropes then this will be for you

It was not remotely humorous

it was not remotely scary or horrific

the action was really poorly orchestrated and not even remotely gruesome

even in the most ridiculous moments i found nothing redeeming

i think watching Penniewise play whack-a-mole and the balloon filling game at a dark carnival for 90 minutes would be more entertaining

I LOVED this movie. Just cheesey and gory and funny and campy and pure enjoyment.

I've watched enough let's plays of Five Nights At Freddy's to have recognized the plot just from the description, so I was expecting Nic Cage to chew on the scenery of gore and jump scares. I would have been fine with something a little lame but with that certain Cage flair.

Instead, I got something surprisingly good. The cinematography was balanced, with little bits of surreal and fun angles, but never so much to become distracting. Good color scheme and lighting, and the creature design really captured that slightly terrifying look of way-back-when Chuck E Cheese.

I enjoyed how the script was full of tropes, but the actors carried it well, and everything came across well. Almost like everyone was having fun, wanted the audience to enjoy themselves, but they took it just serious enough to deliver good performances.

The whole movie is right on that edge of camp and parody, without necessarily being played for laughs like a comedy. Something more like Evil Dead 2 or Kung Fury; love and enjoyment of the genres without mockery.

That being said, this is NOT a horror or even really a thriller. It gets those labels because it needs some kind of genre, but it really fits in its own little niche, and it will NOT be for everyone. But as a popcorn/drinking-with-friends movie, it really hits the spot.

And I cannot understate how much Nic Cage was absolutely himself, dialed to 11. Sold every scene, and stole most of them. All without a single line of dialogue. That really was the cherry on top, and I gave an extra star and a half for his performance.

So aft fighting an alien in Jiu Jitsu, Cage is back with his craziness minus the rage n wide eyeballs.

The film is laden with cliche dialogues. Why cudnt u just die. My entire life, its like i have been a ghost. All u had to do was die. Was that so hard.

If u remove the end credit (5 mins) n the start credit (01 min), the film's runtime is only 82 mins n u dont get to hear Cage utter a single word but wots with the wierd dance movements?

As Ba_Harrison already mentioned, the film has a lousy sex scene. They cud have at least shown Emily Tosta kissing Cage cos her lips are luscious n she is already 22.

I swear I've seen the gamut of Nic Cage films. Everything from great to mediocre to soooooo bad it's good. This one Is just bad. Plain and simple. Period.

No sure why ppl even want to comment on this movie 😂😂😂
