The Puppet Master: Rhys Frake Waterfield's Twisted Fairy Tales Rhys Frake Waterfield's "Pinocchio: Unstrung" is the latest installment in his "Twisted Childhood Universe," a series of horror films that reinterpret beloved children's stories with darker, more violent themes.
While some might dismiss this as a gimmick, it's clear that Frake Waterfield aims to tap into something deeper – a sense of unease and discomfort that lingers long after the credits roll.
The original Pinocchio tale by Carlo Collodi features gruesome details and an overall atmosphere of moral ambiguity, making it well suited for a horror treatment.
