Le Cauchemar de Peter Pan

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
