The classic short film that introduced Mickey Mouse to the world, 1928’s Steamboat Willie is now officially in the public domain, and several horror filmmakers have already stepped up to reimagine the iconic mouse as a slasher maniac. The first of these features was The Mouse Trap, released just last month, with Screamboat headed our way sometime next year.
There’s another Mickey Mouse-inspired horror movie coming soon, Bloody Disgusting has learned this week. From director Andrea M. Catinella, it’s titled Mouseboat Massacre.
The filmmaking team tells Bloody Disgusting, “Mouseboat Massacre paints a terrifying and unsettling picture. A slasher horror film that takes a beloved childhood icon and twists it into something nightmarish. The juxtaposition of something so innocent with a dark, psychotic twist is a brilliant way to tap into deep-seated fears and nostalgia gone wrong.”
The story follows a young woman battling a drug addiction who suddenly begins to see a mutated mouse human hybrid who infests her life. Those around her begin to drop like flies.
“With Mouseboat Massacre, the most beloved childhood character becomes an endless nightmare,” teases director Andrea M. Catinella. “This film is a psychotic journey where the audience won’t have a moment to catch their breath. Imagine Pennywise wearing the most famous rat mask, unleashing chaos in an atmosphere thick with eerie, unsettling tension. After watching Mouseboat Massacre, those iconic ears will never feel the same. The aim is to make sure that what once brought comfort will now haunt your dreams.”
Jay Robertson, Kathi DeCouto, Atlanta Moreno, Lauren Leppard, Victor Rios, and Natasha Tosini star in the upcoming Mouseboat Massacre, which will be released by ITN Studios.
