Following the box office success of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (a $50,000 budget film that grossed over $5 million), the "Twisted Child Universe" continues to expand its repertoire of dark reimaginings of classic children's stories. The latest installment, Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare, offers a gruesome twist on the tale of the boy who never grew up.
IGN critic Matt Donato highlights director Scott Jeffrey's approach, portraying Peter Pan not as the whimsical fairy-tale character, but as a grounded serial killer and kidnapper, emphasizing his arrested development. This marks the first new addition to the Twisted Universe since the Blood and Honey films, with more twisted childhood tales and a potential multiverse crossover in the pipeline.
Where to Watch Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare
Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare had a limited theatrical release on January 13th, 14th, and 15th. Check local listings via Fandango, AMC Theaters, and Regal Theaters for showtimes.
