The sum impact is like a joke with a promising-enough setup but no punchline.

The Mouse Trap is so dispiritingly slapdash that Walt needn’t bother rolling over in his grave; should we be shocked that an era of cynical corporate film-making begets cynicism?

Rated: 1/5

...the worst thing about The Mouse Trap is not the lack of imagination or the accumulation of commonplaces in each section of its story. The worst thing is that it doesn't even try to show some coherence in its absurdity. [Full review in Spanish]

Beyond a promising start, The Mouse Trap quickly becomes a boring and failed attempt to bring to the screen an idea that had a lot of potential, but ends up being a monumental stumble. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 2/10

Common Sense Media

An atrocious, unbearably awful slasher movie and a thoughtless cash grab involving beloved characters that have entered the public domain, this absolute waste of time and effort should be avoided.

Alex está presa no seu serviço em um fliperama, fazendo hora extra. Porém os seus amigos decidem fazer uma surpresa para ela e invadem o seu local de trabalho para comemorar o seu aniversário. Mas o chefe de Alex foi possuído por uma máscara de Mickey Mouse e passa a matar os jovens. Quando falaram que o Mickey Mouse iria passar para o domínio público como o Ursinho Pooh, eu ficava pensando qual seria o tipo de bomba que lançariam, depois dos dois filmes dos personagens de A. A. Milne e E. H. Shepard. No início, você tem alguma esperança, com o letreiro inicial imitando os dos filmes da franquia Star Wars. Mas logo a péssima qualidade do roteiro, do elenco e da direção já te devolvem à realidade. Personagens somem e aparecem na história sem explicação. Até que inventam um poder para o assassino: teletransporte, inclusive até uma fraqueza, para compensar o orçamento baixo. Mas aí chega o final e você pergunta: WTF?! A cabeça do Walt Disney deve ter derretido mesmo congelada.

With lame meta jokes, horrendous acting, horrible effects, and abysmal storytelling, “The Mouse Trap” holds a contender for being likely one of the worst films ever made.

Absolutely Dreadful. Cringe script and ‘acting’ and seriously lacking in any atmosphere… who directed and produced this crap? The 2 detectives were the worst ‘actors’ of all - that was the most comedic part of the movie. Who hired these dreadful people?! Couldn’t bear to watch anymore had to turn it off… rather watch paint dry.

Only redeeming quality is how bad the acting is it’s funny. And the whole killer can teleport thing didn’t make sense what so ever.
