Screamboat/Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare – Trailer Talk

The past week saw two trailers released, both based around a Disney property: Steamboat Willie and Peter Pan.

‘Screamboat’ follows of group of New Yorkers on a boat, as they come face to face with a familiar Disney icon. Only this time, the mouse has turned murderous. 

The synopsis and look of the film are already a lot better than the other Steamboat Willie-based horror ‘The Mousetrap’ (previously titled ‘Mickey’s Mousetrap’). Not only that but this film will actually use the character of Steamboat Willie; hopefully he’ll be portrayed as a CGI or fully cartoon-looking character instead of a human in a Mickey mask. But, out of the two horror films that have been released after Steamboat’s copyright lifted, ‘Screamboat’ is the one that I am more interested in.

The second trailer was for ‘Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare’, which will see Peter becoming a child murderer, promising to take them to Neverland. 

This film also has potential to actually be good as well as dark, not only because of the plot, but because of the implications that the original book gives readers. It makes sense for Peter Pan to be turned into a horror film, unlike the previous entry in this film’s universe ‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey’. After the second ‘Blood & Honey’ film, it seems like a bigger budget was given because the look of this has improved since the previous two films in the so-called ‘Poohniverse’. However, it also resembles that of the 2019 film ‘Joker’ as well as 2021’s ‘The Black Phone’, even including some visuals that are very similar to both films. 

While both films are ridiculous, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t intrigued by them. ‘Screamboat’ has the potential to be enjoyable and I’m interested to know how the film will portray the previously owned Disney character. Meanwhile, ‘Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare’ makes sense to be a horror film considering some implications in its source material. If they’re not good then I, at least, hope they’re enjoyable horror films.
