Screamboat 2025
"Screamboat," a horror-comedy film, sailed onto screens in 2025, offering a gory and darkly comedic twist on the iconic 1928 animated short, "Steamboat Willie." The movie transforms the cheerful whistling mouse into a monstrous figure who terrorizes a group of unsuspecting New Yorkers on a late-night ferry ride. As the passengers' journey turns into a desperate fight for survival, they must band together to fend off the relentless and bloodthirsty creature. The film leverages the public domain status of the early version of Mickey Mouse to create a shocking and satirical cinematic experience. Directed by Steven LaMorte, "Screamboat" features a cast that includes David Howard Thornton, known for his role as Art the Clown in the "Terrifier" franchise, as the terrifying reimagining of the classic character. The ensemble also includes Allison Pittel, Amy Schumacher, and Jesse Posey. The film's creative team aimed to blend practical effects and puppetry to bring the monstrous mouse to life, promising a visceral and visually disturbing horror flick. "Screamboat" generated considerable buzz for its audacious concept of turning a beloved childhood character into a figure of terror, capitalizing on the recent trend of horror adaptations of public domain properties. The movie was released in theaters in early 2025, delivering a unique and controversial entry into the horror genre.

This film is passable, if you've seen the trailer or know what this is even about, you'll be getting exactly what you were probably expecting - a bunch of purposely expressive characters you'd wanna see killed in true slasher fashion. This is a goofy, extremely self aware film that delivers on just that - if you're expecting anything serious or anything on the aspect of plot that isn't purposely cliche, then you're not watching the right film. Some complaints lie with the pacing, as well as how rushed the end began feeling and looking. Some kills could have gone farther with the hype of people being behind Terrifier, but worry not, this film delivers in its own special take on that; filming in some spots feels jarring and even blurry, some cheap spots. Some genuinely good moments of laughs and self aware dark humor, along with some really fleshed out and decent scenes. This is much better than some other films in this joke wave, however it's far from anything spectacular or good. Memorable? A good film to watch with friends and even catch in theaters for an experience? Yes. This film is serviceable at the very least, I'd recommend if you know exactly what you're walking into - which you should.
