This isn’t October. This is Cagetober, where we talk about Nicolas Cage movies. Why, you might ask? Because it’s funny. Let’s start off with the botched attempt at inb4ing a Five Nights at Freddy’s movie in 2021: the horribly underrated Willy’s Wonderland.

This movie was so peak. Nick Cage in an AMA said he originally was given very sparse dialogue for this movie. He wanted to make an acting challenge out of it, so he worked with the director to just have all the lines removed. This movie was really fun for just watching Nick Cage be That Guy for 90 minutes.
There was also a question about whether or not the canned drinks were alcoholic, I liked his answer for that.
“The can question is an interesting one, and I hesitate to answer it for you because your relationship with the movie is far more important than my relationship with the movie and so you as the audience member can imagine and surmise whatever you want to be in that can. That is a far better answer and reason for the can than anything I could tell you. I want YOUR opinion as to what was in the can, because that was the right opinion.”
I’d put this movie in the same bucket as Benny Loves You or Tucker & Dale vs Evil, as a silly horror movie which is just fun to shut your brain off and enjoy.
