AVOID BOTH OF THESE TRAIN WRECKS LIKE THE PLAGUE!
I'm just really not in the mood to do a full review of each of these as I feel that it would be pretty redundant to just trash such trash.
I will tell you that the posters are MUCH better than these two atrocious movies.
"Mickey's Mouse Trap" (a.k.a. "The Mouse Trap") is so incredibly bad that you'll hate yourself for sitting through the whole hot mess til the end.
From the first few seconds in, you know that this is just cheap crap.
The child actors are so laughably bad that I am convinced that this was a family affair and the only reason that they are even in the movie, is because they are probably the kids of the director or something.
NO ONE can act in this extremely low budget Canadian film that should have never been made.
Just when you think that this movie can't possibly get any worse, they add teleportation to the mix.
Going back and forth between one of the survivors and the ridiculous detectives is extremely pointless and annoying.
It is a constant reminder of how bad this movie and the abysmal acting really is.
The kills are lame and basic and several of them are totally done offscreen or in silhouette.
This movie played it way too safe in the "slasher" department and could have easily been rated PG or even PG 13 but certainly not Rated R, especially by today's standards.
Actually I'm not even sure if this movie is rated anything?
They think they are being clever by an abrupt ending the movie right in mid sentence of a character's speech, sort of like the finale of "The Sopranos"?
"Mickey's Mouse Trap" has the worst ending ever and that includes the crap after the credits hinting that anyone would ever want a sequel of this hot garbage.
The only think this movie has going for it, is several hot men.
"Mickey's Mouse Trap" is the true equivalent of cinematic vomit.
Despite all of their bu****it "comedic tribute" to "Star Wars" iconic opening crawl, text intro disclaimer, I still think Disney should sue the crap out of them and make them destroy every single existing piece of film of this gutter trash.
Prepare yourself folks because this is only the beginning of everyone trying to cash in on the fact that Disney's "Steamboat Willie" and the look of the classic Mickey Mouse character, is now Public Domain so pretty much every Tom, Dick and Harry is going to try to cash in on it.
You can look forward to these upcoming horror films like "The Return of Steamboat Willie" and the horror comedy "Screamboat" that stars the very well known actor David Howard Thornton known as Art The Clown from the hit movie franchise "Terrifier".
I'm not holding out much hope for this one either as "The Evil One" with David Howard Thornton playing a murderous version of Dr. Seuss's The Grinch was a complete box office flop.
I guess we'll just have to see...
As far as "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2" I was very disappointed in this horrendously awful sequel.
What the hell went wrong???
I think this time they totally got high and said "let's make a sequel".
They would have had to have been high, because they strayed so incredibly far off the track of the first film, which was actually decent, that they totally flew off the rails completely!
I loved the dark and foreboding look and feel of the first film "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey".
It had a very disturbing and realistic "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "The Bunnyman" kind of vibe, that kept it in that kind of creepy backwoods slasher genre".
This time, they just totally lost their s**t and tried to throw in everything but the kitchen sink!
The Poo and his gang now speak??
Not only do they speak, but they stole poor Freddy Krueger's whole shtick with their awful one liners, usually ending with the word "bitch"!
The owl is somehow the new diabolic mastermind leader of Poo and the gang?
It even ends in a very comic book like "I'll get you next time Batman, I'll be back!" kind of classic Villain scenario, that is just stupid, asinine and laughable.
It sadly sets the stage for a third sequel already in production, as if we need to see any more of this mindless crap about cashing in by turning beloved Storybook characters into blood-thirsty monsters.
No character is safe in Hollywoodland if there's money to be made!
In "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2" gone is everything you might have loved (and I use the word "love" quite loosely), about the first film.
Though it still has the cartoon beginning with the narrator, the story is way too involved for a silly little throwaway slasher.
They tried way too hard to come up with a storyline that explains how Poo and his crew came to be but that totally contradicts absolutely EVERYTHING in the first film.
Less is more!
Now they've added even more layers and two new characters the Owl and Tigger, who were both missing from the first film.
In "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2" , they leave the Hundred Acre Wood and go into present day suburbia to wreak their havoc, including an underground techno rave party as the very unexpected and uninvited guests.
Just like the first movie, there is a lot of blood and gore.
In fact there is a crap ton MORE in the sequel and the body count is so incredibly high that you won't be able to keep up.
The side stories with the missing children and now Peter Robin's family, Peter's therapist, a mad scientist, unnatural experimentation and animal to human cloning, is just waaaay too much to digest for this tiny little film.
I feel that they bit off much more than they could chew and in doing so , totally ruined a simple concept that could have continued to be a good thing.
The worse part is that they tried to connect the two films and that just added to the already runaway chaos and confusion.
There are some good kills, intense violence, buckets of blood and a crap ton of gore.
There are some very sexy guys in this movie as well.
If I wasn't so disappointed, I might have enjoyed it.
Watch either of these at your own discretion.
