Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare

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.

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.

Embarrassing attempt at edgy horror, shamelessly ripping off better films while offering nothing but empty gore and tasteless shock value. This is another case of hack filmmakers throwing money at a public domain fairytale without a single original thought or shred of self-awareness. The film reimagines Peter Pan as a schizophrenic child kidnapper and Tinker Bell as a trans heroin addict with Stockholm syndrome, but instead of being edgy or provocative, it's like watching chatgpt crash and burn trying to write a fan fiction.

It's worth mentioning how awful the last 20 minutes are. The whole thing feels like a fever dream of people smashing sugar glass and screaming in circles. Maybe the actors and cameraman were just left unsupervised on set. Despite the gratuitous gore that desperately imitates Terrifier, it's so devoid of context or tension. If you've ever wanted to waste time watching a budget-burn, congratulations-this is your chance.

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.

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!
