While the 'Twisted Childhood Universe' expands with new entries, Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare fails to capitalize on its unique premise, opting instead for familiar horror tropes.
The 'Twisted Childhood Universe' (also known as the 'Poohniverse'), is undoubtedly charting a course for a vast expansion in 2025. Since striking internet gold with Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey and continuing the momentum with Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey II, creator Rhys Frake-Waterfield hasn't let the viral success of the series go to waste.
Now, an extended universe based on horror versions of classic children's characters is expanding with Bambi: The Reckoning and Pinocchio: Unstrung, but not before the franchise's first deviation from the Blood and Honey films — Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare. It's no secret that the Blood and Honey movies were made primarily to capitalize on the denizens of the 100-acre wood joining the public domain, with the inherent shock value of Pooh and Piglet killing people being too good to pass up. However, the concept of a horror film centering around a twisted version of Peter Pan honestly holds water. The idea of an immortal boy who abducts children and takes them to a magical land infested by pirates is a dark premise that can be easily tweaked into a horror-centric plot. Sadly, Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare seems to be more concerned with copying other better horror stories instead of fully committing to its intriguing idea. Much like the classic tale it is inspired by, Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare follows Wendy Darling (Megan Placito) and her family, with the young woman ready to enter adulthood and move on with her life. Only, in this version, Peter Pan is not a fun-loving rebel who fights pirates and doesn't wanna grow up. This Peter (Marin Portlock) is a notorious and vindictive serial killer whose primary victims are children and any other adults who get in his way. While Peter promises to take these unsuspecting kids to Neverland, the actual reality of his trips is much less magical
