Willy's Wonderland

"A weirdly entertaining experiment in the laboratory of Nicolas Cage..."

"There’s just a lot of bland smasheroo, punctuated with noise and ostentatious hyper-edits."

"A violent, glorious riot of inside-joke horror tropes..."

"It could be ironic commentary. Or an art-film stunt. But it's mostly agony."

"Come for Nic Cage fighting a robot alligator with a mop. Stay for some inventive licks on the dead-by-dawn horror-movie template..."

"To its credit, the film doesn't take itself in the slightest bit seriously, because with a premise like that, really how could it?"

"Nobody without a spear through their head could sincerely describe Willy's Wonderland as a good film."

"Building out the world of "Willy's Wonderland" diffuses a lot of its originality."

"Cage has been accused of sleepwalking through some of his recent choices... That's never been truer than here."

"It's all surprisingly empty and forgettable."

"At this point, Cage's movies don't have to be reviewed, but rather stamped with official certificates of weirdness."

"Has the garish stop-and-go rhythm of an '80s slasher film, and I mean that as a compliment."
