A grotesque slasher horror that corrupts a beloved childhood tale into a violent, surreal nightmare about a murderous puppet's twisted quest for humanity.

Influenced by a sinister Cricket and created by Geppetto, Pinocchio launches a violent crusade to carve himself into a real boy like his brother James, one piece at a time.
