Screamboat (2025) is a horror-comedy film that reimagines Mickey Mouse’s Steamboat Willie as a murderous cartoon rodent terrorizing passengers on a late-night Staten Island ferry. Directed by Steven LaMorte and starring David Howard Thornton, the film mixes gore, comedy, and nostalgia.
Released theatrically on April 2, 2025, and streaming from May 2, it has received mixed reviews—critics noted weak CGI and pacing, while audiences praised its campy fun and slasher vibe.
It’s part of a trend turning public domain characters into horror villains, appealing to fans of gory, over-the-top horror with a dark twist on childhood icons.
