Description: The unsettling squeak of a tiny, metallic door hinges open a Pandora's Box of terror in Alejandro G. Alegre's "I Heart Willie." Maya Luna, Sergio Rogalto, and Daniela Porras deliver chilling performances in this descent into the darkest corners of childhood nostalgia. This isn't your typical slasher; "I Heart Willie" is a disturbing exploration of the chasm between beloved iconography and the twisted human psyche capable of creating it. Alegre masterfully crafts a suffocating atmosphere of dread, using the seemingly innocent world of animation as a grotesque backdrop for his narrative. The film’s power lies not in cheap jump scares, but in its unsettling exploration of the monstrous nature of unchecked ambition and the horrifying lengths one will go to achieve their twisted desires. The performances are raw, visceral, and utterly unforgettable, leaving a lingering unease long after the credits roll. Prepare to question the innocence of your favorite childhood characters.
