Pinocchio: Unstrung

Pinocchio: Unstrung (2026) is a British horror-fantasy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield — the filmmaker behind Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey. He returns with another children's story turned into something considerably bleaker. Geppetto carves a wooden puppet as a gift for his gravely ill grandson James, and the puppet turns out to be very much alive.

At first, Pinocchio is something like a friend. Then a sinister Cricket starts whispering about what it means to be real, and Pinocchio takes those ideas to a violent extreme. Robert Englund — Freddy Krueger himself — is part of the cast. Stream Pinocchio: Unstrung (2026) online on iFILM.
