Peter Pan: Incubo nell'isola che non c'è

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.

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.
