Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare

Seeing this film on a whim, probably like many others - entertained by ITN once again with the makers of blood and honey ( which I've avoided ) I found myself seeing this film with the ambition it wasn't going to be the best, however I was pleasantly surprised. With a typical but serviceable plot, the movie captivates you enough to draw you in and keep you on the line until the end. Some successfully skin crawling scenes alongside some effective kills and gore, it succeeds what it sets out to be! It even surprised me with some entertaining fight scenes and character combat. All in all, this film kinda felt like Black Phone meets a Terrifier 2 final girl showdown, it was serviceable and even got some laughs from me over it's execution. This film caught me off guard and I feel will capture audiences off guard too, as there really is some decent execution all around in this film - with expected, somewhat nitpick flaws to encounter. If you want a romp, to a T, this isn't a bad choice.

Neverland nightmare is the third part in what im glad is a universe thats happening.because like blood and honey this film is over the top with gore but has a cast that really pull well together. In this film peter pan used to work at the circus but after having some sort of disolusion about a place called never land he feels its necessarily to kidnap kids and bring them there. Martin portlock plays him well and its very creppy and off putting, almost reminds me of art the clown but a talking one. Its cool how they brought the darlings into this story and its really good how it all played out. Tinker bell they did dirty but I still feel they were a very good actor in this to. Overall a pretty good edition to the series.

It's safe to say Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare wasn't a movie night anyone expected to survive emotionally intact-especially not for Winny, Sunny, Tails, and Sweet, who left the screening looking like they'd just stepped out of a fever dream. We've watched horror before (Sinners being a recent one), but this one? This was something else. It didn't just flirt with darkness-it dove headfirst into it, dragging childhood nostalgia down with it.

Some of us-Willow, Kuromi, and Amy-were admittedly surprised by how much they enjoyed the film. Willow especially appreciated the bold reimagining of familiar characters, highlighting the gruesome creativity behind some of the kills, like the scenes with Tinkerbell and the alligator (yikes). Kuromi, a known fan of gore, praised the film for its commitment to the horror genre, saying it embraced its madness in a way that felt refreshing. Amy found the unexpected turns in the plot exciting, even if it meant watching Peter Pan become someone truly unrecognizable.

On the flip side, Winny, Tails, and Sweet weren't as forgiving. They found the excessive violence-particularly the disturbing scenes involving children-a line too far. While Winny did admit the pacing was strong and the atmosphere consistently creepy, he couldn't help but feel like the film traded meaning for shock value. Sweet was especially critical of the movie's handling of child endangerment, calling it exploitative rather than artistic. Tails, meanwhile, appreciated the darker lens on Peter Pan but still struggled with how far the story went to disturb.

Acting-wise, Sunny gave props to the cast-Peter Duza as the kidnapped child was hauntingly believable, and the actress behind Tinkerbell delivered a twisted, grotesque performance that stuck with everyone for all the wrong (and maybe right?) reasons. But tonal shifts and pacing inconsistencies did throw off both Sunny and Willow at points, making the whole film feel like it couldn't quite decide what horror path it wanted to take.

Overall, this film split the room. For some, it was a bold, bloody reinterpretation of a classic story worth watching just for the insanity of it all. For others, it was a brutal reminder that not every fairytale should be turned into a nightmare. Either way-no one's looking at Peter Pan the same again.

Rating: 6/10.

The first ten to fifteen minutes of this movie were kind of cool. There were some creepy/cool visuals and the Peter character also felt properly creepy. Then the movie started. It's chalk full of bad acting, a plot that is absolutely insane and felt like a drug addict wrote it (wouldn't be surprised if that was true), and was just really really bad. By the end of this movie I felt emotionally and mentally drained and I don't think I could have handled much more had the running time been longer. It had some redeeming moments, but they were few and far between. Som decent gore and special effects but outside of that it was pretty much unwatchable. I can't recommend anyone watch this movie. Even if your a fan of the new children's character horror movie genre.

If you're a genuine horror fan then I think you'll find this movie entertaining. It's one of those movies that just leaves you with a bad feeling when you leave (and I mean that in a good way) I was impressed with the gore, I thought it was really well done, definitely a couple of parts that had me squirming. The main antagonist is really creepy and the lore is fun and very different. The movie kept a good pace and there weren't any boring parts. The storyline is very fresh, I think they did a really good job reinterpreting the original Peter Pan. I would definitely recommend this to my fellow horror lovers as a fun imaginative gore filled movie.
