Cinderella's Revenge

Before we get any further, **THIS IS NOT A DISNEY MOVIE! THIS IS NOT A KIDS' MOVIE!! IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT KIDS WATCHING THIS THEN YOU NEED A GOOD, HARD, WAKE-UP CALL YOU UTTER CLOWN!**

Now to the movie itself. It's barely watchable, even with Natasha Henstridge in it. The acting is terrible, the writing is terrible, anachronisms abound even BEFORE the Fairy Godmother summons Vidal Sassoon and co, and almost nothing about this makes any real sense.

You'd be better off watching the Blood & Honey movies if you want to see people's childhood stories 'ruined'.

People really needs to stop using fairy tales' titles to their own sick and twisted slasher movies. And that saying also goes for this movie. This slasher movie took a dump on every values that the original writer has put on Cinderella. They pictured Cinderella as a bloodthirsty murderer who has dumped her ideals on kindness. She wanted revenge on all of the people who have wronged her. And what's up with that psycho fairy godmother who seduces Cinderella into committing homicides?! Usually I'm a sucker for revenge themed movies, but this one is kinda weak on that front. The violence and gore wasn't on point. Especially since you can see how fake the blood is. Besides, the cheap settings didn't help at all. Is that fancy house supposed to be seen as a castle? Maybe people who has never seen an actual castle can swallow that. Not me, I've seen several enormous castles. That pathetic little cottage isn't sufficient to be called a castle.

I remember around 40 years ago when angry parents protested against a slasher flick called silent night deadly night cause that film used santa as a serial killer so people thought that as an insult and protested as nothing is sacred anymore ?

I wonder what they are thinking today when legend kid icons like cinderella winnie and snowhite (snowhite had also a horror version years ago) are having their own horror versions.

When this madness with be stoped ?

When those $$$ makers will understand that we shouldn't mess with what made our kids happy in last 100 years or so ?

So what's next ?

Popeye as a serial killer ?

How about donald and mickey and goofy ?

Come on u beeps u can turn them too in to killers.

I'm sure your kids will love it.

How low this world will continue to go ?

Is there a bottom to the barell ?

For the most part, a rather faithful rendering of the story. The two stepsisters certainly are horrid, and the stepmother really treated Cinderella terribly. The fairy godmother enters with a mix of old and new. She can get Cinderella clothing from the 12th Century or Hammer pants. But sometimes the jokes seem to think they are too clever, and falls flat. The 'carriage' arrives to take her to the ball, and she asks where are the horses? She is told it is electric, and Elon will drive her. The license plate reads PUMPKIN. When she is outfitted for the ball, the names of prominent fashion designers are used. The acting in some scenes seems off. Whether it is the skill or the directing, it doesn't fit. When we get to the more gruesome parts of the movie, Cinderella simply does not seem physically up to the part, and there are other scenes of just terrible acting. In night scenes, the estate houses are simply lit too brightly for just candles, and in one critical scene, there is a mismatch of the action to the sound.

Nice take on the glasig Cinderella Story.

The approach of assuming that cinderella could have taken bloody revenge on her stepmother and stepsisters for all evil they have done to her is actually a cool approach.

The Tiberius b-Movie vibes are undeniable and make the Movie only watchable for hardcore fans of third class work.

I am really wondering what on Earth made Miss Henstrige agree to play a part in this rather bad picture.

All actors deliver mediocre Performances while the Story more or less follows the original Story with Heavy splatter Moments being added.

The german dubbing is just as bad as you can expect from any Tiberius Production.
