Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare is a 2025 British independent slasher film written and directed by Scott Chambers. It is the third instalment in The Twisted Childhood Universe (TCU), and serves as a horror retelling of J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan. The film stars Megan Placito as Wendy Darling and Martin Portlock as the title character, with Kit Green, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney, Teresa Banham, Olumide Olorunfemi, Campbell Wallace, and Nicholas Woodeson in supporting roles. It follows Wendy as she embarks on a quest to find her younger brother Michael, who has been abducted by Peter Pan and Tinker Bell to be taken to Neverland.
First announced in November 2022 as a Peter Pan-based horror film, the film was subsequently revealed to be set in the TCU shared continuity. The first draft of the film was a more traditional approach that took place entirely in Neverland. However, budgetary reasons and difficult experiences felt during Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 (2024) led to the script being rewritten into a more realistic, contained, psychological approach. The cast was announced between January and June 2024, with Banham reprising her role from Blood and Honey 2 as Mary Darling.
Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare was released theatrically in the United States on 13 January 2025, and in the United Kingdom on 24 February. The film received mixed reviews from critics and has grossed $1.6 million worldwide.
