Recently, the official trailer for Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare was released. This horror movie is the third installment of the Twisted Childhood Universe, which continues the story of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey and its sequel.
Inspired by J. M. Barrie’s classic, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare is the first in the franchise to feature children characters from the public domain, in addition to the works of A.A. Milne.
Sadistic Scenes in Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare Trailer
The trailer begins with a tense scene where Martin Portlock’s Peter Pan character kidnaps a child. This cut scene reminds us of one of the moments in the movie It, which was released in 2017.
In the original version of the story, Peter Pan is a child who refuses to grow up and takes other children to Neverland. However, in this horror adaptation of Peter Pan, he is portrayed as an adult who becomes a nightmare for children.
The main plot of the film centers on Peter Pan who is now an adult, has a face full of scars, and plays a masked killer who kidnaps children.
Peter Pan believes he can send them to Neverland, a place where they will never experience adulthood. It is still unclear whether Neverland is real or just a fantasy of the killer targeting children.
More Horrifying than Blood and Honey
The franchise will continue to grow through Bambi: The Reckoning and Pinocchio: Unstrung, which will eventually lead to the crossover Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble crossover in 2025. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey and its sequel have already set new extreme standards in the Twisted Childhood Universe.
The movie tells the story of the famous characters of the Hundred Acre Wood who become aggressive and dangerous after being abandoned by their childhood friend, Christopher Robin, who has now grown up.
The chaos they wreak on the English countryside causes many casualties and presents a variety of frightening moments, giving it a much darker feel than the usually more cheerful adaptations of A. A. Milne’s works.
However, the trailer for Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare suggests that the latest movie in the Twisted Childhood Universe is likely to be even more terrifying.
Whereas in Blood and Honey the characters from childhood simply transformed into killers, this latest release offers a much scarier feel than the original story.
