Pinocchio: Unstrung Expands the Poohniverse
Jagged Edge Productions is set to unveil a darker chapter in their growing horror universe with Pinocchio: Unstrung. Known for turning beloved childhood characters into terrifying figures, the studio’s latest film reimagines Pinocchio as a slasher villain, further expanding what fans now call the “Poohniverse.”
A Chilling New Take on a Classic
Pinocchio: Unstrung marks a significant departure from the original tale of a wooden boy striving to become human. Instead, this version twists the story into something much darker. The film’s newly released poster reveals a sinister Pinocchio, indicating the eerie direction this film will take. Unlike previous adaptations, this one positions Pinocchio as a figure of fear, setting the tone for a horror experience that blends practical effects with intense storytelling.
The Creative Vision Behind the Horror
Rhys Frake-Waterfield, who directed Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, returns to direct Pinocchio: Unstrung. His goal is to surpass his previous work in both budget and creativity. Frake-Waterfield emphasizes practical effects to enhance the film’s visceral impact. He believes this approach will make Pinocchio’s transformation into a horror icon even more terrifying. His commitment to pushing horror boundaries is evident, and his fans are eager to see how this new film will unfold.
Expanding the Poohniverse
Jagged Edge Productions is not just stopping at Pinocchio. Producer Scott Chambers has suggested that the “Poohniverse” could evolve into an interconnected horror universe. This universe would bring together characters like Pinocchio and Winnie-the-Pooh in a shared, nightmarish world. Such a crossover event could set a new standard in horror cinema, offering endless possibilities for future films. The idea is as intriguing as it is terrifying, and it signals Jagged Edge’s ambition to redefine horror.
What Lies Ahead
As anticipation builds for Pinocchio: Unstrung, its success could shape the future of the Poohniverse. With Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey already streaming, fans are eager to see how this universe will expand. The stakes are high, and if Pinocchio: Unstrung hits the mark, it could pave the way for even more twisted tales. Jagged Edge Productions is clearly not afraid to take risks, and this film could be their boldest move yet.
