Honestly, some elements seem awkwardly placed, like a sex scene in the middle of an area where a satanic ritual was conducted and families were murdered. On gore, the film exceeds all B-horror standards, and the humorous impact each death has, makes the film engaging-even when it gets really weird. If you grade the film on its story, it may fail, but if you grade it on what really counts, it passes with flying colors. While the film’s dialogue is absolutely off the rails, none of that really matters. In fact, somehow, a silent Nic Cage is just as intimidating and entertaining as a screaming one. If there is an absurdity meter, Willy’s Wonderland cranks it all the way up to 11 and stays there as a stoic Cage entertains the audience with quirky behavior and brutality that needs no dialogue. Sure, there is a plot, but that honestly doesn’t matter, and god am I thankful it doesn’t.

And the other half of that is because Willy’s Wonderland is a simple fever-dream of a film: Nic Cage beats the absolute shit out of animatronic serial killers for the better part of an hour and a half. That’s half because Willy’s Wonderland has some large elements that give away the film’s plot. As does playing some pinball and throwing back a beer. But completing his job of cleaning up the abandoned kid’s restaurant that is, in reality, a reskinned Chuck E Cheese with a birthday song to match, always comes first. The mundane tasks suddenly become an all-out fight for survival against wave after wave of demonic animatronics. In Willy’s Wonderland, a quiet drifter, referred to as The Janitor (Cage), is tricked into a janitorial job at the now condemned Wally’s Wonderland. Parsons, in addition to Cage, the cast list includes Emily Tosta, Beth Grant, Jonathan Mercedes, Caylee Cowan, and Terayle Hill.
Directed by Kevin Lewis and written by G.O.
Hyperviolence, 80s synth, animatronic animals, and some satanic cult rolled in is a simple way to list what you can expect from Willy’s Wonderland, Cage’s latest fever-dream of a film. Nic Cage is no stranger to making his audiences audibly let out a “WTF” during his films.
