Reception
John Serba of Decider was critical, writing "Screamboat might be the best this dumb subgenre ever gets – and it’s still crapicalifragilisticexpialidocious. SKIP IT."[5] WhatCulture was also negative, naming it one of the worst horror movies of 2025.[6] Nerdly was more favorable, stating that "Whatever the story behind it, an abortive attempt at a sequel to Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey or a badly edited standalone feature, Mouse of Horrors may not be objectively good, but it is bloody, and bloody strange enough, to keep me amused at the absurdity of it all."[7]
