Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare

Needless to say that I had indeed not heard about the 2025 horror movie "Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare" prior to sitting down to watch it. But given the recent year's horror movie rendering of classic fairytales and animated characters, such as Winnie the Pooh, Goldilocks, Popeye, etc., then I wasn't really harboring a grain of expectations to the movie. But I still opted to give it a go, perhaps writer and director Scott Chambers would deliver a surprise.

The movie certainly started out quite nicely, and I was not expecting that from the movie. So thumbs up for such a brutal start. But that didn't set the standard of the rest of the movie, unfortunately. No, the storyline in "Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare" wasn't great, nor was it bad. Sure, it was a watchable movie, if you distract from the "Peter Pan" aspect of the movie. Now, had the movie not carried the "Peter Pan" name, it would actually have made for a more enjoyable slasher movie. But it shouldn't be necessary to say that writer Scott Chambers mauled the work of J. M. Barrie.

Of the entire cast ensemble, I was only familiar with actor Nicholas Woodeson. Regardless, it should be noted that the acting performances in the movie were actually fair.

The special effects and make-up in the movie were actually good, and it definitely helped to keep the movie afloat.

My rating of director Scott Chambers's 2025 movie "Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare" lands on a four out of ten stars.

I really love when I start watching a movie expecting to end up disappointed, and the exact opposite happens.

A lot of things in this film aren't original, but it all feels more like a tribute to the original rather than a cheap rip-off. The atmosphere is excellent. The film is never boring, not for a moment, and the story is well thought-out. There are several unexpected moments that only add to the grotesqueness of the entire film. The characters are well developed, especially Peter Pan and Tinker Bell.

All in all - I expected (more or less) a standard Neverland story told through a horror lens, but I actually got so much more! This is a psychotic conglomeration of madness, filth, and drug addiction, and Peter Pan is the crown jewel of insanity and a unique portal to the land of Neverland.

Seven stars from me!

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.

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.

One of the worst movies i've ever seen. When you see the trailer it looks really good, but when i watched it i wanted to bleach my brain and forget about this movie forever. First of the plot doesn't make any sense. They show you some things but don't explain why it happened and how and you wonder why the hell they even say it. Next thing is Netherland, idk if i had high hopes but in the movie Netherland doesn't even exist. Its just two gay drug addicts who kidnap kids so they send them to Neverland. That's the whole plot basically. Three is the unrealistic killing. A few times i noticed how really easy it seems to kill someone or break some part of their body, but other times no matter what you do they just don't die. I understand its a movie and all but it seem too unrealistic. It was all gore and not horror, I wouldn't recommend, i'm mad i watched it at the cinema, i wanted to leave at the beginning.
