Film review: Nicolas Cage battles demonically possessed animatronic puppets in an abandoned arcade in Kevin Lewis' horror film 'Willy's Wonderland'

One of pop culture's enduring questions is why an acclaimed, Academy Award-winning actor like Nicolas Cage would spend so much of his career squandering his talents in a succession of B-movies that can charitably be described as baroque.

At this point, Cage's movies don't have to be reviewed, but rather stamped with official certificates of weirdness. This effort directed by Kevin Lewis certainly qualifies. Cage plays a character identified in the credits as"The Janitor," whose car breaks down in a remote town containing no working ATMs. The latter proves a particular problem, since the sole garage only takes cash and the repair will cost $1,000.

The film largely consists of lavishly violent scenes in which the glowering Janitor goes mano-a-mano with the creatures , always managing to beat them to a pulp. He periodically takes breaks from the mayhem to play vigorous games of pinball and swig cans of energy drinks. Despite being periodically attacked by demonically possessed puppets, the Janitor keeps resuming his cleaning chores, demonstrating the same sort of unruffled professionalism that Cage does in these movies.

I need to know. What makes this film “gonzo”?

Wasn’t this also an episode of Gravity Falls?

Basically 5 nights at Freddys rip-off?

Dude stays working!

I don’t know who’s career has crashed harder, his, Travolta’s or Bruce Willis’s ?! They’re all only doing straight to DVD/VOD garbage and haven’t had a hit in years !

Recently his movies are kinda boring

Oh god Another vague review for a Nic Cage movie... just say it’s good or bad... this isn’t arthouse cinema . The main question that needs to be answered for movies like these is : Is it worth watching or not ?

He is a demon so no acting needed.

‘Willy’s Wonderland’ Review: Nicolas Cage Faces Off Against Animatronic Kiddie Monsters in a Horror Bash That Revels in its CagenessDirected by Kevin Lewis, from a script by G.O. Parsons, this defiantly out-of-the-box and in some ways rather cunning grunge horror film, set from dusk till dawn inside a run-down family fun center… That’s interesting... HighSierraMan I'd be curious to see if there's a match between people who think the 2020 presidential election was stolen and those who pay SVOD fees for new Nic Cage films. Such a wonderful Actor Nicolas Cage, summed up to these imbecile films, he has so many debts that he accepts anything, it is a sadness.
