A dark slasher reimagining within the Twisted Childhood Universe, this film unfolds inside an elite London prep school.

Driven to become a real boy like his brother James, Pinocchio seeks to carve a human body for himself, one victim at a time.
Produced by Jagged Edge Productions, the feature emphasizes traditional practical effects to drive its graphic horror sequences while centering on the main character's tragic corruption.
