Main Plot
The plot of the movie centers on a defense attorney, Jennifer Garrick, working on a murder case including a guy accused of killing his kid. The man declares innocence and insists that his wood puppet, Pinocchio, is the genuine culprit. Despite being skeptical, Jennifer decides to take the unusual wood doll home as a birthday present for her child, Zoe.

Evil Puppet
The relationship in between Zoe and the puppet develops into an issue for Jennifer when Zoe's habits turns inexplicably aggressive. Even complete stranger phenomena begin to happen, pointing to Pinocchio. When Zoe persuades Jennifer that Pinocchio lives and wicked, Jennifer consults a psychic who alerts her that the puppet may undoubtedly be a vessel for a malicious force.

Accidents and Deaths

As the storyline advances, a series of weird mishaps and deaths take place. These events are always connected to Zoe's playtime with the puppet, but no one can prove the doll's participation. Jennifer ends up being significantly concerned about Zoe's association with the puppet and decides to eliminate it.

Last Confrontation
The movie reaches its climax when Pinocchio comes to life, revealing his real destructive nature. In the final conflict, Jennifer frantically attempts to conserve Zoe who has actually been abducted by Pinocchio. The movie ends with the ambiguous ending of Jennifer, armed with an axe, attacking the now-silent Pinocchio puppet.

Characterization and Themes
Throughout "Pinocchio's Revenge", the line between innocent kid's play and ominous actions is blurred. It wisely plays out the theme where childhood innocence is juxtaposed with dark and malicious forces.

Zoe, Jennifer's daughter, wonderfully cinematises the innocence that slowly transforms into something troubling under the puppet's impact.
