Hard pass. This emerging trend of taking public domain children's characters and inserting them into slasher movies was DOA for me.

Asked why he made Mickey's Mouse Trap, Canadian director Jamie Bailey said: 'The opportunity to take my childhood Mickey Mouse and turn him into a serial murderer? How can I resist?'

My dude, unless you were born in the '30s I highly doubt you grew up watching Steamboat Willie era Mickey Mouse. It's okay to say you're just seizing an opportunity to get your name out there and break into the industry. Drop the BS. I still wouldn't waste my time on this movie but at least I'd respect the honesty.
