Horror News: Pinocchio is out for revenge in new horror flick

Pinocchio is out for revenge...again.

No, this isn't about the sequel to the 1996 horror movie Pinocchio's revenge but about a new movie that has just been announced. 

While the makers of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey already have a Pinocchio movie in the works, this new movie called Pinocchio: Carved from Darkness is in the works with Peter Stormare already signed on to play Geppetto.

The original story was about a woodcarver named Geppetto who built a wooden puppet and wished for it to become a real boy. A blue fairy grants him the wish and Pinocchio comes alive but in order for him to become an actual boy, he must prove himself to be brave, truthful and unselfish.

In the Disney version, Pinocchio manages to prove himself through a series of adventures.

In the horror movie version, things are just not going to work out for Pinocchio. 

In Pinocchio: Carved from Darkness, Geppetto is going to carve the boy from wood taken from a crime scene and cursed by a dark cult princess called Agatha.

Geppetto gives the boy the form of his deceased son but he

is not the lovable puppet from the Disney movies but a deranged, vengeful killer.

There is also a mother and son thrown into the mix as well as a detective who is investigating Agatha's crimes.

The characters' stories will intertwine with tragic consequences.

The movie will release sometime in 2025 with Vicki Berlin and Daniel Nuta also set to star.
