Nicolas Cage is no stranger to bad movies. He’s been in plenty of good ones, too but appears to thrive amidst the chaos of low-budget, action-packed movies that let him go wild. Willy’s Wonderland is one such film. Released in 2021, it sees Cage play the hero against a bunch of possessed, murderous animatronics.
That plot may sound familiar, and that’s because it is. Five Nights at Freddy’s and its wacky animatronics first came to fruition as a video game in 2014, and have been subjected to dozens of spin-offs, never-ending lore analysis, and recently, a movie. Simply put, a security guard is tasked with keeping an eye on Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza when they notice the animatronics getting a little freaky at night; soon enough, things turn violent.
Willy’s Wonderland is very much the same narrative, except our protagonist - a nameless janitor with Nic Cage’s face - has wound up cleaning an entertainment complex in exchange for getting his car fixed. What he doesn’t realise (or does, you can’t quite tell), is that he’s actually intended to be the entertainment complex's next victim, with the townsfolk having gotten into the habit of sending unsuspecting individuals to it as sacrifices to the brutal animatronics that cannot be quelled.
