A low-budget slasher that weaponizes childhood nostalgia by placing a masked killer in a Mickey Mouse costume at an arcade, blending horror with darkly comedic absurdity.

It's Alex's 21st Birthday, but she's stuck at the amusement arcade on a late shift so her friends decide to surprise her, but a masked killer dressed as Mickey Mouse decides to play a game of his own with them which she must survive.
