Willy's Wonderland (originally titled Wally's Wonderland) is an upcoming American horror film written by G.O. Parsons and directed by Kevin Lewis.
The film stars Nicolas Cage, Emily Tosta, Beth Grant, Caylee Cowan, and Ric Reitz.
A quiet drifter stranded in a remote town agrees to work as a night-shift janitor at Willy's Wonderland, a once-successful abandoned family entertainment center. However, his tasks suddenly become an all-out fight for survival when the facility's eight animatronic characters come to life and try to kill him. Now, teaming up with a group of teens who also find their way into the building, he is forced to defend himself in a desperate race to survive until morning.
The Movie Partnership have announced that their heist comedy, Finding Steve McQueen will be released in the UK on 16th November.
The film stars Travis Fimmel (Raised by Wolves), Rachael Taylor (Jessica Jones), William Fichtner (Armageddon) and Academy Award winner, Forest Whitaker (Last King of Scotland) and is directed by Mark Steven Johnson (Daredevil, Ghost Rider).
Based on the true story of the Youngstown mob, President Richard Nixon, the FBI, and the biggest bank heist in US history! In 1972, a gang of likeminded thieves plan a heist to steal $30 million in illegal campaign contributions from the President's secret fund.
We start off with Marbles (played by the excellent Thomas Sainsbury), a man who enjoys to smoke what I believe the youth call "the weed", he also has found a way to see ghosts, by injecting himself with a mixture of his dad's medication and Cannabis, he finds himself helping the dead cross over by passing on their messages to their loved ones, typical psychic stuff so far, but he finds himself being annoyed by a dead cop called Tagg (Hayden J. Weal), Tagg has been murdered and needs help to find the serial killer. Reluctantly Marbles agrees after a promise of a big insurance pay out to buy his family house and the adventure begins.
I would best describe this film as a comedy horror, there are quite a few laugh out loud moments, one between Marbles and Tagg's sister Yana (played by the gorgeous Tomai Ihaia) really got me. But this film does not just play for laughs, there are some really good proper horror moments, suspenseful moments and even some fun action scenes.
I enjoyed this film, it was not what I expected, it is a completely original take on the genre, and deserves your attention.
The Good
All the characters are like-able, you really do want Marbles to succeed, and there is even a fun after credits scene as well.
The Bad
Perhaps a few scenes could have been tightened up a bit to reduce the run time, but that really is nit picking.
Overall
I enjoyed this film, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the comedy horror genre. Support Indie Films and watch this! NOW
