In just a few days, the Jagged Edge team is officially snapping the strings and turning your childhood memories into terror yet again with Pinocchio: Unstrung. Pinocchio: Unstrung is the latest blood-soaked entry in the Twisted Childhood Universe. And it is gearing up to mutilate a theater near you on July 24, 2026.

To ensure maximum insomnia, they also recruited

TriStar has secured the feature film rights and is actively hunting for a director to bring the horror to life.

If you’ve ever had a hard time getting over an ex or a lost pet, take comfort in the fact that your coping mechanisms are probably healthier than what’s coming to the big screen. Cameras are officially set to roll this month in Massachusetts on The Hours That Keep Us. It’s a deeply unsettling psychological horror anthology. It digs into the terrifying, desperate, and downright deranged things human beings do when they refuse to let someone go. In three interconnected vignettes, writer-director Tommy Jay Dwyer explores what happens when the phrase “moving on” is entirely erased from the vocabulary. A Cast That Can Literally Kill You Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the project is its wildly eclectic ensemble. The production has assembled a lineup of heavy-hitters from the worlds of combat sports, gaming, and cult cinema. Leading the charge are mixed martial arts standouts Paige VanZant and Mickey Gall, alongside professional wrestler Vinny Pacifico. Seeing athletes who treat physical
