I have no idea what I watched, But loved the every minute of it
If you liked what you seen in the trailer then you will probably love the movie. If you didn't why the hell are you watching it anyway? It's a movie about Nicolas Cage beating up Satanic possessed Chucky cheese robots, what did you expect? I thought it was great!
I really needed Nic Cage to spit out corny one-liners just before he massacres sentient animatronics and I feel like I was robbed of that.
Turn your brain off, and put a smile on your face because it's time for Willy's Wonderland
Some movies manage to walk the line of quality with such finesse that it leads to “good-bad” movies. Movies so bad they somehow break through the other side and end up good. Willys Wonderland is not one of those movies. It’s just unapologetically bad. It’s devoid of any of the qualities that make a good-bad movie, leading to an empty, boring and sometimes painful 90 minutes. The FNAF-esque plot is threadbare, the dialogue is stilted and unquotable, the production is poor, Nic is a literal silent protagonist so there aren’t even any classic Cage one-liners to grin at. The animatronic fights lack impact or comedic timing and the effects on some of the caricatures are student film quality. If you’re baked out of your mind and need a Nic Cage fix, Willys Wonderland will probably scratch the itch, but anyone going into this sober should seek out another from Nics repertoire for a more satisfying hit. Mandy or Color Out of Space will serve you much better, trust me.
Didn't know what to expect, but this was pretty entertaining.
Not going to lie, Nicolas Cage was a badass in this
absolute garbage. I know 5 to 6 year olds with more plausable and entertaining story writing skills.
Its good to have a bad movie as a template for ratings. Thanks for this movie, its mediocrity Sets a basline for how i rate movies.
Cage sees the screenplay: "Not even a single word? You son of a b*tch, I'm in!"
CALLING ALL NICOLAS CAGE FANS!!
Not a SINGLE word in the entire movie (Cage that is). And somehow he's more Cage in this movie than any of his other movies. It was quite a hoot. Of course there are a couple of major plot points that are not explained ...but could be explained in a sequel? maybe? On the other hand, I say, just sit back and enjoy watching a day-in-the-life of "The Janitor".
The ending also allows for and sets up a potential sequel as well. Here's hoping.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
Yep, this is another great Nicolas Cage movie! Comedy horror with lots of grease, if you like off beat Nicolas Cage, this is another good one. What did you expect, NationalTreasure?
This won't win any Oscars, but it wasn't made to. It's a hilarious, unapologetically good bad movie. There are many scenes that are absolutely unforgettable. Those dance moves, Nic. Wow. I think I'm pregnant, now. The story is plain stupid, but there were some genuinely great performances here. Nic as well as the aesthetic made it a truly entertaining flick. I would actually watch this again.
Good guy Nic for helping to get this movie funded, too.
I've got nothing. What the actual f- did I just watch?!
It’s actually so bad, that it’s rather funny and entertaining even. The fact that there is almost no dialogue in the movie, makes it feel like such a niche and unique indie movie. Except, indie movies usually don’t star Nicolas cage
This movie was dumb and honestly kind of bad, but it was bad and dumb on purpose and I loved every second of it, so that's okay. Amazing performance from Mr. Cage, it takes skill to do a whole movie with no lines at all and still convey personality. Beth Grant was fantastic as always, and everyone else was suitably over the top. It was great, definitely keeping it around to watch when I need a laugh.
The only good thing about this movie is that you get to watch Nic Cage clean for about an hour(about the realest this movie gets), the remaining 30 minutes he's doing playfighting with oversized dolls or straight up having intercourse with a pinball machine.
Pretty damn trash and the CGI is horrible 3/10
:tada:”it’s your birthday, it’s your birthday”
Stupid song won’t leave my head! :rage:
What possessed Nicolas Cage to take on this role... taking on a film with no dialogue he really can’t be bothered anymore clearly!
Certainly what I’d call an adult version of the upcoming FNAF movie - due 2022 rated (13) so the kids will have to wait!
Shockingly awful. There was no reason for this to be as bad as it was. This is another one of those films, like The Banana Splits Movie that uses one of the unused/scrapped scripts thrown out by Scott Cawthon as he works on his Five Nights At Freddy's movie. Studios see some potential in the scripts and just change around the aesthetic to adapt it. Nicolas Cage has a producing credit on this and I don't know why. What a shithead move to not have him speak the entire movie. If they were going for a Man With No Name approach, he should have a couple lines, really killer ones. The idea he says nothing is a comically ridiculous waste. There's no reason for him to be there then. Go Doomslayer if you want the silent killer. Give him a scarf over his mug and cowboy hat, it would complete his look, and then Cage wouldn't require a big check. None of the characters are memorable, recognizable, have any attachment to the story, or warrant the screen time they're given. Characters don't play to any specific strengths or weaknesses. Their names are spoken one or two times, none of them add to the world building or have connections to this restaurant. Any characters that have a chance of redemption are killed on the spot without a second glance, making their place in the script meaningless. Even the sympathetic sheriff groomed by the head sheriff doesn't get his moment to shine, he's unceremoniously killed in a lame, unrealistic situation where somehow an animatronic stowed away in the cop car. The levels of turning your brain off you have to do to even tolerate what's going on are to many to permit. Only one, named Liv, cares about doing the right thing. Neat. She cares about this old, creepy birthday palace why? I don't know. The lore is taken right from FNAF's pages, people possess animatronics to cause havoc, only here, it's serial killers. For what purpose? I have no clue. They only get fed every time the town's folks tricks a passerby to become a night janitor. How often does that happen? It's all just thrown in to one horrible exposition dump as Cage stands there with the same expression he has the whole movie. There's even a second exposition free for all that repeats all the points from the first one, only from the perspective of the townsfolk, and it comes right in the middle of an interesting scene between one of the kids and a suit. When we cut back, the kid is immediately killed. Why does the dude drink that brand of soda and on every break conveniently timed and looped throughout the picture? The only way this story would've been enjoyable is if it was an actual video game, Duke Nukem style. This is the cinematic equivalent of watching someone play Doom, but you don't get to experience the gameplay yourself, it's terrible. It's not even good exploitation. The blood effects are below the grade of a YouTube video, very obvious Kool-Aid mixtures for blood effects that come out of people's mouths. An excuse for violence is a staple of exploitation flicks for sure, but come on, we're far above the lowest tier trash that comes out of the genre. Most others in the medium are far better than this. To call this a slasher movie is insulting to other gore fests. Every scene is a loop. Janitor guy beats the shit out of a suit, he cleans up, takes his break with a soda, stares at the creepy guys on stage, and loop. This happens six times in the runtime; abysmal. It's a joke in itself, shots repeat like the tossing of a soda can in the garbage, like this shit thinks it's clever. If you want that, have some progression. Maybe that pinball game he cleans up, he gets better at and scores a higher score after each time he defeats a suit. No thought put in to anything, no themes. That ties in to the editing. You're not Edgar Wright. Quick cuts and neon lighting is overused now, you aren't interesting and it doesn't even fit the aesthetic of the time or location. Some of the reaction shots are laughable; like Cage will be punching the shit out of a dude, the camera is all wobbling and up close to be intense, then it cuts to a wide static shot of Liv standing there with a dumbfounded reaction on her face, which completely breaks the engagement of the fight, and then it cuts back to that shaking extreme close up of Cage fighting. It's distractedly awkward. The care to environments and visual effects are of a student film. Balloon lights, lighting equipment, and other junk can be seen in a few shots. The camera work is either over produced or television sitcom, most of the time switching in between shots. The setting of Willy's is small and pathetic, like a little store they rented out for the film. One ballpit, a side room for a birthday table, a kitchen where one pinball machine is located, and a very tiny arcade. As for the animatronics, you have to make me believe these were intended to be cute and friendly. The Banana Splits Movie understood this, considering they used actual Hanna Barbera characters so that was their original purpose, but these monstrosities are freaky even in the upbeat commercial. At least try to be subtle with your costume design, or have it so they flick a switch and change appearance to something demonic. It could tie in to the story's core element of Satanism being at the heart of this dandy play place. About the only satisfying scenes are Cage's final music video dancing to the pinball machine and the head sheriff's death by Willy. The score is also decent. Two points for this dreck.
Much like Snakes on a Plane, you should judge it for what you know it is and in that regards it is exceptional.
There's only so much that Nic Cage curb-stomping a robot gorilla on a urinal can do for a movie, but thankfully it knows better than to drag on. Very fun and well worth the watch.
I'll tell you what you just watched @Cyruz...., you just watched 88 minutes of (literally) completely wordless Nicolas Cage mindless mechanoid mayhem, with some proviso auxiliary action provided my C-list meat-puppets, standing in for anyone OTHER than the aforementioned Mr. C, that was actually crazy, broke, or desperate enough, to sign on to this wondrously insane bit of celluloid escapism.
You will NEVER be able to enter a Chuck E. Cheese establishment again without looking askance at the animatronic entertainment, which I always felt was just a skoosh creepy.
Don't over analyze it or even try to navigate your way through all the plot holes and silly cliched horror movie tropes. Just let the Cage-eon vibes flow through, and enjoy just shy of an hour and a half of bloody, non socially distanced, covid free fun!
Nic Cage needed to be more Nic Cage
Film 62 (Goal: 300) of 2024
I've just got done with a film where a father is reincarnated as a snowman and then with his little twig arms, proceeds to protect his son in a snowball fight and that is 10 x better than this. I love Nicolas Cage's willingness to try new interesting concepts and even go against type, but man he gets some absolute garbage.
This FNAF-lite concept is an interesting idea but the execution is so bad. Anyone that tells you it's good or that its so bad, it's good is naive or possible stoned. And even then, I don't believe drugs can rescue this. There's essentially no plot here. Exposition and flashbacks are added to pad out what is already a short film (not that short is a bad thing).
The direction here is really bad. It looks like a student project. The animatronic fights, a key component of the film, are so poorly constructed. There's nothing well put together here. Cage has put out some better films recently. Mandy, Color Out of Space, Renfield, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. All unique, all interesting. This could have added to that list. This is not that.
Nic Cage and a pale FNAF imitation not taking itself seriously are not enough to result in a 'good' movie, unfortunately.
Gotta pays respects to what came before the FNAF movie by watching this gem. Honestly, not the worst movie, considering they spent all their money on Nicolas Cage and Free Bird.
Is it just me or do these possessed killer animatronics seem easy to kill?
Shockingly bad. Piss poor acting... awful cgi. Just bad.
The best were the passages of texts by Nicolas Cage :)
Just a Nicolas Cage who never says a thing is good enough to make this enjoyable. Just his presence alone is great. He drinks his soda at certain times. He keeps track of that time using a stopwatch on his watch. He likes to play pinball and he doesn't want to leave Willy's Wonderland before he has done his light cleaning work. Because he wants his tires fixed. I'm not gonna spoil how the animatronics got to be these murderous things but it reminded me of a certain film.
Anyway Willy's Wonderland isn't all that fantastic but watching Nicolas Cage beat up things for 88 minutes while being silent, cool and playing pinball is good enough for me! Love him for taking all these kind of roles!
This his a hymn for all the meanest arcade badass in town.
All you got to have his a timer and a hand full of canned "PUNCH - A fistful of caffeine to your kisser…" this will grant a 1:15 hour full of cleaning and gutting fluffy mean toys with the house shirt (don't worry, they think of it and got you a bunch of them… great palls, yeah)
And the this with only two "Arghhhhsssss"?
Yeap, that's it. Your the greatest, baddest mfkr in this movie.
I know it’s practically the beginning of the year. But I’m gonna call it, movie of the year. Nic Cages roll of his career. Don’t miss it. 10/10
:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Trapped inside a posessed Showbiz Pizza? Sorry, showing my age there. I mean... Chuck E Cheese? Cage was perfection, the kids were great. Fun throughout.
This is not a very good movie. But it doesn't matter. I love it. It's ridiculous yet entertaining. If you are a fan of Nicolas Cage you'll probably love this movie.
If this movie was just Cage kicking ass then it would have been perfect… but they had to throw in a bunch of pointless characters who talk too much.
It's just Nic Cage doing Nic Cage things. His script read though must have taken a long ass time though.
I'm just going to imagine Five Nights at Freddy's is a lesser version of this film. There's not a lot here beyond "silent drifter violently dismantles possessed animatronics" but I'm pretty sure anyone watching this isn't looking for much more. This was a rather enjoyable matinee B-movie flick, despite it lacking some polish here and there.
Not a single one has he :joy:
One Night at Willy's
A badass Nicolas Cage that doesn't speak a single word kicking the shit out of bloodthirsty animatronic mascots. Willy's Wonderland knows exactly what it is and it just wants to have fun.
The animatronics are clearly costumes worn by actors (except for Ozzy Ostrich it seems) which is a shame but I like the designs for all eight of them. Some of them got more personality than others but they mostly feel distinct. Cammy Chameleon and Siren Sara ended up being my favorites. I liked the backstory flashback they got it's pretty creepy. They could almost link this to the Child's Play universe because that looked to me like a very similar Satanic ritual.
The kills are fabulous, lots of blood and especially oil. Love the score and soundtrack it really pops. Good looking set with all the different rooms. Nicely shot and it's always colorful. Not much in the way of story or characters. Epic final battle. So much fun. Bring on the sequel!
What a crazy movie. It looks like a cheap Tubi horror movie. Nicolas Cage cleaning the restaurant was so satisfying. It was like watching the TikTok cleaning compilation. The reason Nicolas Cage didn't speak for the movie was most likely because he had to clean and fight costumes. Why was the last stall in the bathroom the only one to open outwards? And Willy singing the chicken song was the 2nd best part. I'll have to try and find it on YouTube. And the last thing is that I wish we got some backstory on Nicolas Cage, character. But not gonna lie, the fact that they actually called him the Janitor was cool.
It’s not award winning but man is it a good time.
Terrifically Awful. Must have 5 words
Really? Just...really?!? I'm usually a big Cage fan, but I can't defend this one. It's just too out there. The only possibly redeeming quality is the amount of blood in the fight scenes. That's it, and that's all. I would not bother with this one unless you're chasing down all the Cage movies for an accomplishment.
If you go in to this one expecting the world's best you're going to be disappointed. However if all you're after is something that makes light of older slasher films with that one guy who takes no BS then this is a fun watch
Grab a couple of friends and laugh your way through cages silence as he mops up Willy's Wonderland
Had the potential to be something campy and fun, but as it is, it’s sometimes too serious and grim, despite moments of Nicolas Cage cool.
They had enough money to feature Nicolas Cage as the lead, but not enough to pay him to speak. ಠ_ಠ Goofy flick at any rate.
Terrible. Could have been much better with a decent script...also. More lens flare than words
I knew it would be bad and still watched it for the laughs, but it was soooo boring
Willy’s Wonderland wants to be an action, horror, and comedy film, and isn’t particularly adept at any of them. The action is undercut by choppy cuts and a lack of stakes, as is the horror. I’m not one to hold plot holes against a film for the sake of a good time, but this one can’t make up its mind on if the animatronics are apocalyptic killing machines that can only be bargained with or absolute jokes outmatched not only by The Janitor but by a teenager with an empty gun. And laughs are only fleeting.
Unsurprisingly, the highlight is Nicholas Cage, as always delivering exactly what the role needed. It’s almost like a personal challenge, to do an entire movie with no lines and therefore little chance to ham it up. But he gives an odd interiority to the role, as if he’s doing a character piece. He sticks unwaveringly to a schedule abs a deal, even one rigged against him. He’s almost more machine than the deprived beings he’s fighting, but when he plays pinball, that Cageness comes out in bursts, that electric and odd humanity.
If you want to watch Nicholas Cage work and kill an hour and a half, there’s worse ways to do it. But as the titular track says, Willy’s Wonderland is nothing new.
So does this means every movie on lockdown will be shit like this now?
Worst shit the other actors who speak are so bad.........
And he also...........
Good performance from Cage does not a movie make. Idea is better than execution. Shame because the puzzle pieces were there, just not properly distributed.
You know what would’ve gone a long way into making this movie not be the shameful embarrassment that it is?
Just a tiny portion of genuine conflict between ANY of the “characters” (read: meat puppets and/or robots possessed with those laughably & vaguely described murder demon robots who worship the devil). Like any actual push and pull between two opposite forces as the natural profession of a story where one side will only win so a conflict becomes useful as the movie gets over the 20 minute milestone, (a point that feels like the 4 hour mark in this instance), and you want your audience to actually care enough to see how things get resolved, you know...?
Or...just hear me out...perhaps just ONE character with a semblance of a backstory that precedes the events of the film’s first act — maybe...?
Look. I know this movie is a rejected script from the FNAF video game(s?), and I know those games were popular for being loosely based on a real business from the late 80’s, (or are still in business if you live in a state like Tennessee...yes, that was a dig at Dollyworld, because I’ve been, and even as a 20 something just trying to laugh at the absurdity of it all, it was profoundly depressingly, haunting, and sickening to see thousands of Southern obese folks in the U.S. throw hundreds of dollars away on what can only be described as pathologically deranged excesses of salt, sugar, and grease-soaked concessions while the employees’ own self-loathing permeated the atmosphere the moment you drove into the unnecessarily large parking lot).
My point being that FNAF, the game, the possible movie (eventually?), or any of its god awful spin-offs like this film & the Banana Splits movie couldn’t be further from the kind of story I’d want to watch a movie about — especially when these hack writers dare to tell me this is supposed to be a “Horror” film, or “Horror Comedy,” whatever.
It’s barely a film, it’s never intentionally funny, and disappointingly it’s never even unintentionally funny. This is a legitimate exercise in testing one’s own mental fortitude; how long can you watch this before you eagerly leap at your phone to eagerly be distracted by literally whatever meaningless notification you’ve just received.
Oh Nic Cage isn’t going to speak the entire film? “What an impressive performance,” (said nobody, ever, about this movie).
If you’re only choices are to watch this film or to watch an 12 hour marathon of “The Masked Singer,” I mean...obviously watch this movie because it’s not 12 hours long. But that’s the nicest thing I can say about it. Willy’s Wonderland: marginally less psychologically tormenting than watching several episodes of “The Masked Singer.” What a high bar this movie cleared.... (not).
Ridiculous. I like Nicolas as an actor, but he is not acting here. He hasn't said a single work throughout the movie
Like a hand pizza, it's original but smacks of WTF.
Cage fighting a haunted Chuck E Cheese's is a good idea, especially considering they found a way to make him a better actor by giving him literally zero lines, but there are so many WTFs in the action and too many badly choreographed and poorly shot fight scenes to make Mute Cage vs. the Country Bear Jamboree anything other than an oddity.
This was absolutely awesome. there is a great line in this movie I'd like to quote in my own words, "The A- list doesn't have SHIT on NICHOLAS CAGE, NICK CAGE SHIT'S on the A -list and doesn't even have to say a word.
NICHOLAS CAGE is the MAN !
THIS WAS CRAZY COOL...
Nicholas Cage. Not uttering a single word for the duration of the whole movie. What’s not to like? Oh, the rest of it.
Yeah it's a low budget film with a silly cheesy creepy soundtrack with a plot that was simple/stupid but it had some entertaining action and did make me laugh at times also it's something different especially from cage.
Cage's rage mute character that I couldn't take serious was fun, hilarious and crazy and It would of been even better without the rest of the cast and just him vs the monsters because he made the film for me and also love the fact that he kept with the job role while all hell was breaking out.
I'm loving these rage roles from cage and definitely want more, especially more of this character..
If five nights at freddy's was a film... don't mess with the cage! aka The Janitor
Cage seems to take any script that comes the last few years!
Only watched to see Nicholas Cage beat up some animatronics but damn was this movie bad.

Great horror comedy movie! I knew Nic Cage wouldn't disappoint. The story is pretty straightforward, a bit dumb if you ask me, but that's the best part of the movie. Great bits of action, the hilariousness, the cheesiness, I like it!
