A new horror film, Mouse of Horror, is making waves for all the wrong reasons. Directed by Brendan Petrizzo, the film follows a group of friends trapped at a rundown amusement park, where they are hunted by a terrifying mutated rat named STEAMBOAT WILLIE. As the title suggests, the movie takes its inspiration from the iconic Disney character Mickey Mouse, but with a dark and twisted spin.
The cast features Natasha Tosini, Lewis Santer, Nichaela Farrell, Michelle Bauer, Allie Moreno, and Tessa Wood, though the film’s premise is hardly as captivating as its star-studded lineup. With a plot that sounds eerily similar to other recent Mickey-themed horror films, Mouse of Horror joins a growing list of controversial titles, including The Mouse Trap (2024), the upcoming Screamboat (2025), and Mouseboat Massacre.
Critics are quick to dismiss this latest addition to the horror genre, calling it uninspired and unoriginal. The trend of Mickey Mouse-inspired horror films continues to raise eyebrows, with many questioning how these projects continue to find investors despite their lackluster reception. Whether Mouse of Horror can bring anything new to the table remains to be seen, but early reactions suggest audiences may be better off avoiding this one.
