Movies like Pinocchio: Unstrung

“Pinocchio: Unstrung (2026) is a British 2020s slasher-dark-comedy that stages puppet mythology as a question of bodily authorship. It frames the core conflict—the puppet's compulsive project to become 'real'—through tight-framing, muted texture and a measured pacing that fuse grim humor with visceral setpieces. The film argues that identity enacted through violence compels reflection on the ethical limits of self-fashioning.”
