Willy’s Wonderland (2021) – Transcript

A quiet drifter is tricked into a janitorial job at the now condemned Willy's Wonderland. The mundane tasks suddenly become an all-out fight for survival against wave after wave of demonic animatronics.
Nicolas Cage in Willy's Wonderland

A quiet loner (Nic Cage) finds himself stranded in a remote town when his car breaks down. Unable to pay for the repairs he needs, he agrees to spend the night cleaning Willy’s Wonderland, an abandoned family fun center. But this wonderland has a dark secret that the “The Janitor” is about to discover. He soon finds himself trapped inside Willy’s and locked in an epic battle with the possessed animatronic mascots that roam the halls. To survive, he must fight his way through each of them.

I know the bullshit story they told you.

That if you clean up the place tonight, they’ll pay to have your tires fixed by morning, right?

They’ve said the same story to countless other over the last 20 years.

They baited you.

You’re here to be a human sacrifice.

You’re here to be eaten and killed.

Do you understand that?

This town has a dark history.

And it all starts with this horrible place.

You know, Willy’s may seem like a happy-go-lucky child’s play place, but it’s much, much more than that.

Willy’s was built in 1996, the brainchild of Jerry Robert Willis.

If that name sounds familiar to you, it should.

Jerry was one of the last century’s most sick and sadistic serial killers.

Jerry spent most of the time cultivating similar sickos.

I mean, these were the most depraved people you could ever imagine.

Often, Jerry and his crew would whisk away unsuspecting families to the Super Happy Fun Room.

Once inside, the families would be treated to a birthday cake and a private show by Willy Weasel.

The shows would always end the same way.

[dramatic music]

♪ ♪

After numerous missing persons reports and suspicious smells coming from the inside of Willy’s, the law felt it was time to investigate.

[sirens wailing]

♪ ♪

Jerry and his gang refused to be taken alive.

After the police finally entered the Super Happy Fun Room, they discovered that Jerry and his crew had performed a satanic suicide ritual.

Instead of surrendering, the killers decided to take their own lives.

Those familiar with satanic rituals speculate that the suicide ritual was some sort of a Katra transfer of energy where the memory and consciousness of the living relocate into non-living entities.

In this case, the animatronic robots.

Ten years later, Willy’s reopens with a new owner, Tex Macadoo.

He tries to keep the current public unaware of its horrific past.

Things are wrong from the start.

There’s reports that the creatures would move on their own.

Some would say things they weren’t programmed to say.

[giggles] Wanna fuck, fatty?

And others would kill and feast on customers.

After several ghastly incidents, Willy’s closes its doors again.

But Tex still doesn’t bulldoze it to the ground.

Why, you may ask?

Because Willy got to him.

Convinced him to make a deal with the devil.

See, in town, we knew what was happening at Willy’s.

We knew there was something supernatural going on.

We bellowed to the high heavens that the machines were evil.

No one believed us.

They thought we were yokels.

Tex eventually hired a demolition crew to destroy Willy’s, except the day before bulldozers were set to roll,

Eric Miller, the contractor, was found in bed as chewed up as a McDonald’s hamburger.

His whole family too.

After that, there wasn’t a man alive that would take the job.

The town decided that maybe it was better to let sleeping dogs lie.

We told everybody just to stay away from there.

We figured we’d just let it rot.

But rabid dogs don’t sleep when they’re hungry.

The machines got out.

We found bodies at the ice cream shop, the hardware store, and even the school.

We had a real Hobson’s choice on our hands.

No.

No choice at all.

We could either go to war with the machines, come off like crazy people, probably lose a lot of good folk along the way, or…

Things didn’t always go exactly as planned.

I usually pride myself on being able to expect the unexpected.

[crying]

But sometimes, life throws you a zinger.

Well, this was the zinger of all zingers.

Good night, darling.

Sweet dreams.

I never saw it coming.

So that’s why we’re going?

Liv.

Much as she pisses me off, I couldn’t live with losing that girl.

I can show you what’s on the other side.

If you could help me get there.

Oh, Chris.

Liv, Liv, it’s gonna be okay.

Kay, we’re gonna make a deal and…

Willy, I’m so sorry about this prick.

Eloise, please, stop. He’s a good guy.

Shut your yap and get outside.

They killed some of ’em.

Oh. Stupid idiots.

It’ll just incite him more.

Willy, this guy does not act for us.

His actions should in no way reflect on the town of Hayesville.

You know that, right, Willy?

Well, cuff him.

For God’s sakes, cuff him.

No way. I’m not leaving him here.

I’ll give you two reasons why you are: your wife and your kid.

If we don’t do what needs to be done, nobody in this county is safe.

Why couldn’t you just die?

Where are the others?

They’re dead.

Stupid kids.

Do you see?

Okay, time to go.

Go.

No. Uh-uh.

I’m not leaving without him.

I’m not giving you a choice. Go.

I’m not leaving without him.

Get out of here.

You’ve locked the wrong guy up in here.

He’s not trapped in here with them.

I’m sorry son.

Is that what you did to my parents?

You’re a monster.

What do we do now?

Well, I’m gonna wait here until this problem solves itself.

You drop her off in a cell, come back, and get me.

Should be done by then.

Breaking and entering, destruction of property, and I’m pretty sure that was a dead body on the floor.

What’s worse, the dead body you saw, or the guy that you left to die?

Are you ready to be a murderer?

Because that’s exactly what you’re gonna be.

You’re gonna be a cold-blooded…

[tires squeal]

Shut up! I ain’t no murderer.

Then what are you?

You’re complicit.

You’re just another cult member recruited by the sheriff to do all of her dirty work.

I ain’t no cult member and I ain’t no murderer.

And how ’bout you, huh?

Living with the sheriff all these years, all this going on, what have you done?

You don’t know what it’s like living with her.

My entire life, it’s like I’ve been a ghost.

And no matter what I do, it doesn’t change who she is.

So I thought maybe I could do something right and burn this fucking place down.

So I am doing something.

What about you? Hmm?

You just gonna sit there and watch all of this happen and not do anything about it?

I’m gonna set things right.

That’s what I’m goddamn gonna do.

You’ll see.
