Watch our Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare review by Matt Donato. Don't miss what we think of the new fantasy horror film in this IGN movie review.
Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare takes itself more seriously than its predecessors in Rhys Frake-Waterfield’s Twisted Childhood Universe, which is a problem. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 star turned Neverland Nightmare director Scott Jeffrey strives to accentuate his main character’s arrested adolescence by turning the boy who never grew up into a serial killer and kidnapper – keeping him more grounded than the typical pirates-and-fairies image of Peter Pan. As Wendy Darling squares off against this throat-slashing, brother-snatching version of Peter, Jeffrey skips the imaginative sparkle of the stories that inspired his film. Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare might be bleak and gory, but more notably, it’s a dull adaptation of Peter Pan’s adventures that makes him no different than a thousand other van-driving murderers who’ve come and gone before.
