What a year 2025 has been. To commemorate the first appearance of the beloved Mickey Mouse (and because Steamboat Willie is now in the public domain), there have been TWO gore-fests featuring dark new interpretations of the lovable rodent. A few months ago we saw Mouseboat Massacre, and this month it is Screamboat’s turn to destroy our childhoods.
This one is not a straight slasher pic, but a horror comedy that turns the mouse into a whistling, dancing, laughing homicidal maniac. The human in the mouse suit does a pretty good impersonation of Steamboat Willie’s movements in the primitive cartoon. I did laugh a few times. My favorite scene was when the rodent held off a dozen human attackers with the ferry’s emergency hose. Instead of a powerful spray capable of knocking men off their feet, only a garden-hose trickle came out. We see the absurd-looking mouse holding the hose, obviously spraying a puny stream:
We then see grown men being thrown back by the mighty blast, as surely as if they were Florida weather reporters demonstrating a Category 5 hurricane.
There were other funny moments as well. This movie is not going to please the slasher crowd, but it is fairly entertaining as a comedy, and should rate better than a lowly 4.0 at IMDb.
On the nudity front, I know nothing about Rachel Victoria Moore other than that she has kind of a “young Kim Cattrall” vibe goin’ for her. She had no credits before 2025.
