What to Know

Critics Consensus

Willy's Wonderland isn't quite as much fun as its premise would suggest -- but it's still got Nicolas Cage beating the hell out of bloodthirsty animatronics, which is nice.

Audience Says

The story isn't great, but it's got a fun '80s slasher movie feel and Nicolas Cage using random objects to destroy homicidal kiddie characters. What else do you need?

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

The result? Nearly 90 minutes of wordless Cage beating fluffy mascots with broom handles while hard rock plays on the soundtrack. It could be ironic commentary. Or an art-film stunt. But it's mostly agony.

Rated: 1/5

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

It is one gag...and for me, that's a short film, rather than a feature.

Turns out, the premise of Nicolas Cage going head-to-head with bloodthirsty animatronics isn't a sure thing after all.

Rated: 1.5/5

Matt Brunson

Film Frenzy

It’s Cage against the machine in this high-concept, low-I.Q. enterprise that’s about as much fun as an air hockey table that’s missing the puck.

Rated: 1.5/4

...fans disappointed in FNAF can see the more violent, scarier version that critics preferred, even as they wonder about major plot coincidences.

What the movie lacks in budget, it makes up for with awesome animatronic/puppet work, a fun premise, and of course, NICOLAS CAGE! It's camp with charm

First L It’s everything you expect it to be and more. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/21 Full Review Alex Nick cage never says a word. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/21 Full Review Mars Absolutely what I was hoping from this movie. It took itself seriously despite what was happening. Ten bucks says it becomes a cult classic Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/20/21 Full Review melvin w I thought Ghost Rider was Nicolas Cage's worst movie but this by far Takes the Cake. Horrible movie Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/20/21 Full Review Ernesto Entertaining, fun watch Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/22 Full Review Kim P Hey, I'm no Nic Cage hater, I think he's a very under-appreciated actor but GEEZ! If he says ONE SINGLE WORD in this "film", I missed it. Easy paycheck for Cage (or his stuntman) and no "you don't get the joke" doesn't work here if you want to defend this piece of crap. The movie is a joke...and not a funny one. Try 15 minutes of it. Then invest the rest of the film's length more wisely...clip your toenails, pair up your socks or clean the cat pan (which I guarantee stinks less than this movie).
