Willy's Wonderland 2020 Screenplay by G O Parsons and directed by Kevin Lewis. One of the executive producers listed is Adam Rifkin. He directed a couple of my favorite films, The Dark Backward and Invisible Maniac. Bill Pullman, Judd Nelson and Wayne Newton are absolutely brilliant in The Dark Backward.
Nicolas Cage is driving when his car runs over a stop strip left on the road. His tires blow. Lucky for him a tow truck stops and takes him to a garage in a tiny town. He gets charged $1250 for the tow and 4 new tires. They want the money up front and they don't take charge cards. The tow driver offers him a way to make some cash.
The job is cleaning Willy's Wonderland. It's one of those annoying places like Chucky Cheese where animatonic puppets sing for your supper. The man hiring him said it had some issues several years ago and had to close down, he wants to have it cleaned so he can reopen the place.
Nicolas agrees to clean for cash but what he doesn't know is he's locked in a restaurant that's filled with evil possessed puppets who desire to kill him. In another subplot some local teens try to rescue him from the puppets. The kids fall right through the roof and the slaughter begins.
It's pretty standard stuff but I enjoyed Nic kicking the ass of some supernaturally driven puppets. I got the Blu-ray for cheap so I can watch it again sometime.
