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.

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.

Walking into Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare, I wasn't sure how I'd feel about a horror spin on such a classic tale. Neverland has always been about magic and adventure, but this film flips that on its head, turning it into a place of pure nightmare. The story follows Wendy on a desperate search for her brother Michael, who's been abducted by a terrifying, twisted version of Peter Pan and a disturbingly reimagined Tinker Bell. It's dark, unsettling, and completely unlike the tale we grew up with.

Now, I love a bold take on a familiar story, but some parts of this film went a little too far for my taste. Tinker Bell, portrayed as a drug-addicted and grotesque figure, felt more shocking than meaningful at times. The film definitely aims for disturbing, and while it hits the mark in places, it also feels like it's trying too hard. That said, the visuals are intense. The corrupted version of Neverland is creepy and atmospheric, and the tension doesn't let up.

Still, it wasn't perfect. There were moments when the film felt like it was going for shock value over actual storytelling, which kind of pulled me out of it. I can imagine that die-hard fans of the original might find it a bit too heavy-handed. But if you're up for something bold, weird, and willing to shake up childhood memories, it's an experience worth having-just don't expect it to be a comforting one.

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.

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!
