Last month, Hewes Pictures announced a special One Night Only release of I Heart Willie, a Steamboat Willie-inspired horror/slasher. Willie is the slasher reimagining of one of the most iconic cartoon characters in history, and a horrifying love story. Well now, they have released an official four-minute crazy ass sneak peek. Enjoy.

Popular YouTubers Daniel and Nico are invited to investigate a haunted property drawn by rumors of a malevolent force. The legend centers around a boy born with deformities, resembling a human-mouse hybrid, who inspired Walt Disney’s Steamboat Willie. Abused and isolated, the boy, now known as Willie, crafts a bodysuit from the skins of trespassers. Over the years, his gruesome legacy fades into folklore—until a series of disappearances sparks renewed interest. As Daniel and Nico set up for a night of thrills, they unknowingly step into a deadly game of survival.

The film was written by David Vaughn (American Rust), who also stars as Willie. It’s directed by Alejandro G. Alegre. I Heart Willie also features performances by Maya Luna, Micho Camacho, Sergio Rogalto, and Daniela Porras.

I Heart Willie was filmed 100 percent on location in Michoacán, Mexico, with local producers Liz Sanchez and Arturo Renteria bringing their unique perspectives to the project. The cast and crew, consisting largely of Mexico City residents, worked tirelessly to bring this dark tale to life. The film premiered to a sold-out audience at the Morbido Film Fest in Mexico City, receiving an encore screening due to overwhelming demand. I Heart Willie went on to win Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Director at various film festivals.Fans can get tickets and showtimes at https://iheartwillie.com.
