Cinderella's Curse

Cinderella's Curse is a bold reimagining of the classic fairy tale, taking a darker and more twisted approach than Disney's 1950 version. Directed by Louisa Warren, this film dives into the horror genre, offering a fresh yet chilling perspective on the beloved story.

The plot follows Cinderella, played by Kelly Rian Sanson, who discovers an ancient book that summons a vengeful fairy godmother. This twist transforms the tale from a simple rags-to-riches story into a gripping narrative of revenge and dark magic. The film's atmosphere is eerie and intense, with stunning visuals that bring the sinister elements to life. While the movie excels in creating a haunting ambiance and delivering unexpected plot twists, it falls short in character development and pacing. Some scenes feel rushed because it is a 78 minute runtime so that js probably why, and the characters, especially the evil (karen) stepmother and stepsisters, lack depth

However, the performances, particularly by Chrissie Wunna as the fairy godmother, are commendable and add a layer of intrigue to the film. Cinderella's Curse is a decent watch for those who enjoy horror and fantasy genres. It may not reach the timeless charm of Disney's 1950 classic, but it certainly offers a unique and thrilling experience that stands out in its own right. If you're in the mood for a dark twist on a familiar story, this film is worth a watch.

The movie is so bad, the make up looks great but other then that... the special effects are terrible for a movie from 2024.. the acting is not convincing enough and overall it's just way to much blood. I was hoping for suspense but I cringed more.

I really wished this was a better movie but I guess you're better off finding another horror if that's what ur into! Cinderellas curse is nothing I wished it would be. It's all over the place and the storyline is very weak! I hate bashing on a movie so much cause I'm sure they all worked hard to make it but it just didn't pay off whatsoever! But again props to the make up team!

Apparently the makers of this production meant to come up with an original and (very!) unconventional approach to the well-known Cinderella fairytale: turning it into a supernatural slasher-/horror story. Now these old fairytales originally weren't as sweet and Disney'ish as the 20th century has re-invented them, but here they really went totally overboard: this version is nothing but one big blood-soaked gore-pandemonium! It's a Cinderella drowning in a hotchpotch of Hellraiser, Wishmaster and Evil Dead, all in one.

Even in the introductory scenes the violence of the terrifying stepmother and her evil daughters is of Saw-like proportions. But when, after the pivotal ball at the palace, Cinderella shifts into her revenge-mode, all fuses are blown and a hysterical killing-spree starts among all the guests, turning the party into a chaotic frenzy of screaming victims who are stabbed, amputated, torn to shreds and devoured one by one by Cinderella-turned-demon and her Cenobite-like helpers, amidst never ceasing fountains of blood. The VFX- and make-up people probably have had a real ball, but at home I watched in disbelief.

Okay, the acting was reasonable, Kelly Rian Sanson is pretty, Danielle Scott makes a fearsome stepmother, and sleek prince Sam Barrett was at least allowed to show some impressive skin. But that was all. Maybe, just maybe, it could have worked, when they had made it into some kind of comedy, but alas, not one laugh to lighten up the day. What remained is the overblown result of a writer's crazy fantasy, executed on steroids. It's not even camp, just bad. Avoid!

I stopped watching this movie just after 25 or 30 min. Such a terrible movie.

This movie describes that living human beings are more evil than ghost. How bad those two evil sister harm their servant.

I stopped movie after that scene. Such a awful and terrible baddest of bad & worst movie ever.

Whoever is the writer and director, you guys have no mind and feelings. Of you can't think anything good then atleast do not promote evil behavior and personality.

Conjuring & the nun is way better than this. Government should banned movies like Cinderella's curse and other. They should suspend this movie immediately. 🚫

I don't know who wrote the synopsis of this film, they are seriously wrong. This movie isn't even in the ball park. It has nothing at all to do with Cinderella, it's basically a story about how a grimoire is misused and curses a family. It's closer to a slasher version of Hocus Pocus, or about the 3 witches in Macbeth. It has nothing to do with Cinderella. The original Brothers Grimm story is taken from Goth (original German) folklore, and Walt Disney was Irish, German, Canadian and English. Disney sanitised ALL of his stories, which were 90% taken from the Brothers Grimm. None of these stories had happy endings, they were warnings. The original Cinderella story had the step - sisters eyes plucked out by the birds that helped Cinderella so they were condemned to go blind for the rest of their days because of their wickedness and falsehood. What Disney did would today be referred to cultural misappropriation, however, he did put Brothers Grimm on the map. It would be great if all the Grimm stories, which are all very bloody, were told properly.
