The Twisted Childhood Universe shows no signs of slowing down. The next classic tale to be reimagined through a blood-splattered horror lens is Pinocchio Unstrung, and the first terrifying images have now been revealed.
The film follows a young boy named James who uncovers a horrific family secret: his grandfather Geppetto is keeping a living — and lethally violent — wooden puppet named Pinocchio hidden at home. Details remain scarce, but the cast is shaping up to be a horror fan's dream. Richard Brake (Barbarian) will star as Geppetto, while horror legend Robert Englund, best known as Freddy Krueger, will voice Jiminy Cricket (here called Benjamin Syrsa).
The film is written and directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield, the filmmaker behind the viral Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey series. No release date has been announced yet, but Pinocchio Unstrung is expected to premiere later this year.
