Wooden Doll Turns Killer in First Look at Jagged Edge’s ‘Pinocchio Unstrung’

Jagged Edge Productions expands its Twisted Childhood Universe with a realistic animatronic Pinocchio committing graphic murders to gain real organs, following their 2024 horror success.

  • A freshly published trailer shows Jagged Edge's slasher take on Pinocchio, directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield and produced by Scott Jeffrey.
  • Building a fully practical Pinocchio, the filmmakers sought a realistic-feeling killer puppet, with Emmy-winning practical effects lead Todd Masters overseeing animatronics.
  • Using a razor-sharp wooden nose, Pinocchio, the animatronic puppet, impales victims and gathers intestines as he pursues organs to become a real boy on a gory rampage.
  • Premiere Entertainment Group is repping sales while ITN Distribution oversees the worldwide theatrical release, with dates being scheduled; the cast includes Richard Brake and Robert Englund, likely boosting genre appeal.
  • The film follows the production team's 2024 breakout and extends their Twisted Childhood Universe, with a third Blood and Honey set to shoot soon and Poohniverse Monsters Assemble in development.
