Public domain horror movies, featuring twisted versions of beloved characters, are becoming prominent, exemplified by the 'Blood and Honey' franchise. Notably, 'I Heart Willie' emerges as a slightly better addition, set in Michoacan, where four teens investigate a haunted house. The film revolves around Willie, a fearsome character inspired by the classic Mickey Mouse, who terrorizes intruders. Despite its low production quality and conventional narrative, the film offers a unique atmosphere with engaging performances, particularly from lead Nora, who showcases a surprising range amidst the absurdity.
"I Heart Willie offers a somewhat unusual backdrop: it is set in Michoacan, a western state of Mexico, where four teenagers set out looking for trouble."
"Willie spends his time mutilating randoms who wander on to his property while blasting appropriately public domain recordings such as Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries."
