HorrorFantasyMystery

Influenced by a sinister Cricket and created by Geppetto, Pinocchio launches a violent crusade to carve himself into a real boy like his brother James, one piece at a time.

VIBE

This is a grotesque, relentlessly unsettling reimagining, drenched in dark fantasy and slasher horror. It feels like a childhood nightmare made real, a propulsive descent into body horror and twisted obsession. Expect a chilling, darkly absurd experience that subverts expectations with its aggressive, sinister tone.
