Horror fans have a busy week ahead, with new releases landing in theaters and on digital platforms. These titles cover supernatural hauntings, found footage lineage, psychological spirals, and a real world paranormal documentary. Each one brings fresh faces alongside genre regulars and arrives within a tight window so you can plan what to watch and where.

Below you will find the essential details for each release. Every entry includes a quick plot setup, key cast and crew, and the exact date and where to find it. Everything listed is scheduled between August 19 and August 22, 2025, so you can line up your watchlist without any guesswork.

‘We’re Not Safe Here’ (2025) Saban Films

The story follows a woman who returns after vanishing and shares a chilling account that pulls her and a friend into a presence that twists fear into reality. The film is written and directed by Solomon Gray and produced by Sonny Mallhi and Solomon Gray.

The cinematic churn, relentless as a medieval water wheel, gifts us another iteration of a story lodged deep in the collective unconscious: “Rumpelstiltskin.”

This particular celluloid offering wraps itself in the grimy trappings of dark fantasy, with aspirations towards horror and perhaps a dash of what might generously be called bleak comedy. Our unfortunate protagonist is Evalina, a miller’s daughter whose life, already a tapestry of rural drudgery and spirited indiscretion, takes a dramatically unfortunate turn.

Her father, in a moment of either spectacular misjudgment or desperate ambition (the two often being indistinguishable in such tales), proclaims her capable of an alchemical absurdity: spinning straw into gold. The local monarch, predictably keen on such a skill, puts this claim to an immediate, life-or-death test. Thus, the stage is set for a familiar descent into perilous bargains and folkloric menace.

The Perilous Architecture of a Bargain

The King’s ultimatum...

A 7.5-foot statue of late Motörhead legend Lemmy Kilmister was unveiled in his English hometown of Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, during a ceremony last Friday (May 9th).

The ceremony commenced in the Burslem town center at approximately 4 p.m. on Friday, with Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell in attendance to place Lemmy’s ashes in the statue alongside the accompaniment of a biker’s corteo.

The celebratory day saw fans flocking to adjacent bars and hostelries to enjoy libations in Lemmy’s honor. Ceremonial festivities included a 21-rev salute, a viewing of rarely seen Lemmy photographs via The Bare Walls Art Gallery next to the statue, a Motörhead tribute band performance later in the evening, and more.

Some even got there a day early to see the statue be transported in by truck, as seen in YouTube footage below, before being carefully lifted and placed on its plinth. A day later, the statue...

A statue of the late Lemmy Kilmister is set to be unveiled during a ceremony in the Motörhead legend’s hometown of Burslem, which is part of the city of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England.

As previously reported, plans for the 2.25-meter bronze sculpture were approved in February 2024. The statue was constructed by local sculptor Andy Edwards out of Staffordshire clay.

The ceremony will commence in the Burslem town center at approximately 4 p.m. on May 9th. Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell will be in attendance to place Lemmy’s ashes in the statue with accompaniment from a biker’s corteo, and friends and fans are invited to come early and enjoy pre-ceremonial beverages at various adjacent hostelries including Old Post Office bar and Ale House, as well as the the Market Place Café.

Additional ceremonial festivities include a 21-rev salute, a viewing of rarely seen Lemmy photographs via The Bare Walls...

Craig Tuohy’s feature debut, Everyone Is Going to Die, unfolds in a spare 82-minute runtime that refuses any escape routes. Released on VOD and in select theaters on February 21, 2025, this indie horror-thriller plants itself firmly within a single ultramodern country house. Tuohy wears both writer’s and director’s hats, guiding each frame toward a cohesion that recalls the tight storytelling of early French New Wave experiments.

Daniel (Brad Moore) greets his estranged daughter Imogen (Gledisa Arthur) for her 16th birthday, eager to mend their fractured bond. His sleek mansion—complete with floor-to-ceiling windows and sparse décor—becomes a crucible when two masked women, Comedy (Jaime Winstone) and Tragedy (Chiara D’Anna), crash what should have been a family reunion. Forced into a series of sadistic “games,” father and daughter discover that every ritual holds a deeper sting.

Composer Si Begg’s low-frequency drone settles in like a pulse, while...

The latest from director Paul W.S. Anderson, a new big screen thriller from Christopher Landon, and a film adaptation of a popular horror game are just a few of this week’s new arrivals.

Here’s all the new horror that released April 7 – April 11, 2025!

Say his name, say his name… Rumpelstiltskin is back with a brand new update on the terrifying fairy tale, and the film was released on VOD outlets this past Tuesday.

Andy Edwards (Zombie Spring Breakers, Midnight Peepshow) directed. Hannah Baxter-Eve (Escape), Joss Carter (Tarot) and Adrian Bouchet (The Wheel of Time) star.

Miracle Media previews, “The film breathes new life into the age-old children’s story, with eye-popping, gnarly special effects and a potty mouthed female protagonist who isn’t your typical damsel in distress. With bawdy humour and devilishly delightful visuals, this new...

Fairy tales were never meant to be safe. And in Rumpelstiltskin, the latest feature from writer-director Andy Edwards, they most certainly are not. Forget Disney gloss and bedtime morals. This is a tale of dark deals, demonic pacts, and a leering, latex-skinned imp who doesn’t just ask for your firstborn – he demands it with teeth bared.

Premiering at Pigeon Shrine FrightFest Glasgow and now released in the UK via Miracle Media, Rumpelstiltskin marks another audacious step for Edwards, whose eclectic career spans sun-drenched zombie comedies (Ibiza Undead), psychological thrillers (Graphic Desires), and blood-soaked British folklore (Punch). But while the director is no stranger to horror, this film takes him into new territory – embracing fantasy, period filmmaking, and full-body prosthetics to resurrect one of the Brothers Grimm’s creepiest characters.

What sets this retelling apart is its reverence for the original text. Unlike other horror updates that twist childhood favourites into slashers or camp parodies,...

Stars: Hannah Baxter-Eve, Colin Malone, Adrian Bouchet, Joss Carter | Written and Directed by Andy Edwards

Once upon a time, a miller attempted to marry his daughter off to the King by promising she could spin straw into gold. With the help of a demonic imp, she completes the task, but the King becomes greedy and wants more. So she promises the imp her firstborn in return for yet more favours. But when it comes time to honour her bargain, dark forces merge when the Imp makes a deal with the devil

Produced by Paranoid Android Films, whose bold statement of, “Our budgets may be low, but our concepts are high” promises a good time to viewers willing to take a punt on this new spin on the tale of Rumpelstiltskin.

Say his name say his name… Rumpelstiltskin is back in a wickedly entertaining new update on the terrifying fairy tale from acclaimed writer-director Andy Edwards. His ambitious new fantasy horror feature had its World Premiere at FrightFest Glasgow on 8th March 2025, and now is being followed up with its home release on 7th April 2025 thanks to Miracle Media.

The film breathes new life into the age-old children’s story, with eye-popping, gnarly special effects and a potty mouthed female protagonist who isn’t your typical damsel in distress. With bawdy humour and devilishly delightful visuals, this new incarnation certainly packs a punch and is sure to permeate your dreams with nightmare fuel.

Once upon a time a greedy miller (Mark Cook) promises to marry off his beautiful daughter Evaline (Hannah Baxter-Eve) to the King (Colin Malone). But things don’t quite go...

As the fairytale goes, once upon a time there was a miller (Mark Cook) who married his daughter Evalina (Hannah Baxter-Eve) off to the King (Colin Malone) with a promise that Evalina could spin straw into gold, thus providing the financial means for the kingdom to secure protection against its enemies. Of course, Evalina does not possesses that particular skill but an imp in the shadows of her prison does. Enter Rumpelstiltskin (Joss Carter), who will continue to produce the gold and allow Evalina to pass his magical talents off as her work, but the imp has a deal with a demonic overlord to settle and those services come at an increasingly hefty price…

Writer/director Andy Edwards takes the classic source material and gives it a low-budget, Brit-inflected spin, complete with resolutely non-Grimm usage of the f- and c-words, multiple comedic references to the male appendage, a smattering of...

Rumpelstiltskin has become the latest fairy tale character to receive his own horror movie in the upcoming self-titled film releasing digitally this April. Bloody Disgusting shared the exclusive debut trailer, embedded above.

The original German fairy tale included in the Brothers Grimm collection was already rather dark. Set in a typical picturesque kingdom, a miller lies to the people of the kingship by claiming his daughter is capable of spinning straw into gold and if she doesn't do it then he'll kill her. Since she can't actually do it, a strange creature visits her one night and creates the gold for her in exchange for certain gifts.

Eventually they strike a bargain in which the creature will make more gold if the princess agrees to give him her first-born child. She agrees and when the time comes and the imp returns to collect, she's reluctant to part with her baby.

Back in 1995, Leprechaun creator Mark Jones brought the world a horrific take on the classic fairy tale character Rumpelstiltskin. Thirty years later, a different filmmaker has made their own Rumpelstiltskin horror movie – and you can watch the trailer for the film in the embed above! This Rumpelstiltskin will be premiering at FrightFest Glasgow this weekend, heading for a VOD release in the United States on April 8th.

Miracle Media told our friends at Bloody Disgusting, “The film breathes new life into the age-old children’s story, with eye-popping, gnarly special effects and a potty mouthed female protagonist who isn’t your typical damsel in distress.

Ayvianna Snow, an actor hailed as the “British Queen of Horror”, is making waves with two thrilling new films set to send shivers down the spines of horror fans this spring.

Rumpelstiltskin tells the story of one of the scariest childhood villains—and this time, the haunting tale gets even darker. A young woman makes a deal she comes to regret with a mysterious creature and must now save her first-born child from his evil clutches. Ayvianna plays the seductive yet deadly role of a Succubus, luring unsuspecting men to their fiery fate.

Director Andy Edwards said, “This is the second time I’ve worked with Ayvianna on a film, and as soon as I’d written the character, I knew she’d be perfect for it.”

Rumpelstiltskin will premiere at the Glasgow Film Festival on 8 March.

In St. Patrick’s Day Massacre, directed by Steve Lawson, Ayvianna plays the role of Kendra,...

A father and a daughter find themselves threatened in their own home by two masked strangers. Based on those bare-bone facts alone, it's easy to assume that Everyone Is Going to Die is simply a modern-day rehash of perennial home invasion classics like The Strangers or Funny Games. Even though horror can be the most daring, inventive, and socially relevant genre on the planet, it also falls prey to the same trappings as any other media category: churning out repetitive junk. We assume we know how this tragedy will play out, and little about Everyone Is Going to Die's first third seems to disabuse viewers of that notion — although the atmospheric shot compositions, the sonically low drone of composer Si Begg's score, and the ruthlessly apprehensive pacing via editor Andy Edwards quickly correct any negative assumptions about the film's quality.

Get ready for a twisted spin on a childhood classic as Rumpelstiltskin, the latest fantasy horror from director Andy Edwards, makes its World Premiere at FrightFest Glasgow on 8 March 2025. The film, which promises blood, bawdy humour, and a heroine with bite, will hit digital platforms on 7 April, courtesy of Miracle Media.

Starring Hannah Baxter-Eve, Joss Carter, and Adrian Bouchet, Edwards’ retelling reimagines the infamous imp with a wickedly dark edge. This version blends grotesque fairy-tale terror with modern grit, bringing eye-popping practical effects and a female lead who shreds the damsel-in-distress trope to pieces.

In this fresh take on the Brothers Grimm tale, Evaline (Hannah Baxter-Eve) finds herself trapped in a sinister bargain after her father’s greed and lies place her at the mercy of a gold-obsessed king (Colin Malone). Desperate to escape her fate, she accepts the help of a masked trickster, Rumpelstiltskin (Joss Carter), who offers to...

Ayvianna Snow, an actor ‘fast becoming the British Queen of Horror’ (Sean Cronin), stars in two highly anticipated new British independent films, Bogieville and Derelict, both set to make their World premiere at this year’s FrightFest 25th Anniversary event in London this month. We catch up with Ayvianna for a chat.

You have two new films premiering at FrightFest this month, can you tell us a bit more about them?

In Bogieville I play a vampire called Mary. Bogieville is an intriguing tale set in a derelict American trailer park. It follows the story of a young couple who find themselves lured in by the sinister caretaker, ‘Crawford’. Unbeknownst to them, Crawford is the guardian of the park’s residents, a pack of blood-thirsty hillbilly vampires.

Horror versions of fairy tales, such as Snow White: A Tale of Terror with Sigourney Weaver and Sam Neil, for example, have been around for quite a while. And now the current trend of turning kid’s stories and nursery rhymes into horror films has carried over to them. It makes sense, they’re filled with witches, ghosts and in their original versions tended to be pretty grim and bloody moments such as Cinderella’s stepsisters cutting off their toes to try and get their foot in the glass slipper. And that brings us to Cinderella’s Revenge.

It certainly opens on an appropriately nasty note as Katherine frames her husband for the theft of the king’s jewels and has him killed for the bounty.

Fairy tales, in their undiluted forms, need no help when it comes to being creepy and horrifying. However, the Disneyfication of these classic stories makes it rather easy to forget their morbid beginnings. In the case of Cinderella, most modern adaptations of this quintessential rags-to-riches tale rarely bring up the violent aspects. All of that has been long removed in favor of safer elements, such as fairy godmothers and anthropomorphic mice. Yet, when reimagining the flaxen servant-turned-princess as someone who seeks “bloody vengeance,” Tom Jolliffe looked to the past; the Cinderella’s Revenge screenwriter found inspiration in the character’s gruesome roots.

The Brothers Grimm did not come up with Cinderella (or Aschenputtel) all on their own, but their familiar variation provides part of the source material for Cinderella’s Revenge. Charles Perrault is also credited, seeing as his French version (Cendrillon) was the first to feature the fairy godmother,...

Sometimes, living “happily ever after” means embarking on a blood-soaked path of revenge. That’s the case in the horror fairytale Cinderella’s Revenge. Directed by Andy Edwards (Zombie Spring Breakers), the film finds Lauren Staerck (Trust) having a helluva time as Rella until her fairy godmother shows up. That would be Natasha Henstridge (Species), who suggests there’s more to life than just nabbing Prince Charming, especially the shady one featured in Edwards’ gritty comedy horror film.

The story thus far: Cinderella’s (Staerck) wicked stepsisters and stepmother are throwing far too much shade. Somehow, our dear maiden winds up at the ball — nice touch having the “carriage” here come in the form of a Tesla — and her eyes twinkle with the prince and all that. But he’s not the charming gent we all remember him to be. Glass slippers appear.

Lauren Staerck and Natasha Henstridge lead a twisted update on a classic fairytale in Cinderella's Revenge, due out on April 26th. Ahead of the movie's release, we have an exclusive clip, just for Daily Dead readers!

As anyone who has ever attended a Frightfest event will tell you, the UK’s horror filmmaking scene is a close-knit community. One is always hearing about hew films on the grapevine, and it’s a delight when they live up to their promise. I first heard about Custom a few months ago when talking with Andy Edwards about his film Punch. He’s a producer on this one, and was keen to introduce me to first time feature director Tiago Teixeira.

The film follows young couple Harriet (Abigail Hardingham) and Jasper (Rowan Polonski), who finance their artistic work by making custom porn videos. It’s all well and good until they are approached by a client who has some unusual requests, leading them into a world which has more to do with ritual magic than simple sexual fantasy, and which leads them into unexpected places. It would eventually screen as.

A statue of the late Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister will be erected in his hometown of Burslem, which is part of the city of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England.

Plans for the 2.25-meter bronze sculpture have been approved, according to the BBC, despite police concerns that the statue could generate “good-natured but potentially incident generating attention” — namely revelers climbing the plinth to pose with Lemmy or causing vandalism. It will be located in Burslem’s Market Place.

Local sculptor Andy Edwards will be constructing the statue out of Staffordshire clay, having previously created sculptures of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor at Derby County Fc and The Beatles on Liverpool’s Pier Head. An artist rendering (seen above) depicts Lemmy in his iconic stage pose, singing upward toward the skies with the microphone placed abnormally high above him.

Following the aforementioned concern from local authorities, Edwards agreed to increase the height of...

"Cinderella's Revenge" is a horror movie that reimagines the classic fairy tale and includes some of the gore from the Brothers Grimm version. The movie stays true to the dark elements of the original Cinderella story, including the stepmother advising her daughter to cut off her toes to fit the slipper. "Cinderella's Revenge" gives Cinderella agency and allows her to seek revenge on her abusers, providing a new twist on the princess's character.

Cinderella is among the classic fairy tale characters getting a horror movie, titled Cinderella’s Revenge, and this new version finally does justice to her in two big ways. The horror genre has been defined by trends in recent years and one of the most recent and controversial ones is all about characters from media aimed at children getting a horror version. Among these horror reimaginings of children’s stories is Cinderella’s Revenge, directed by Andy Edwards,...

Because nothing says romance like cuddling up with your significant other – or yourself! – and watching horror movies on Valentine’s Day, this week brings along with it a handful of brand new horror movie releases. And most of them are already available at home Today.

Here’s all the new horror released on February 13, 2024!

For daily reminders about new horror releases, be sure to follow @HorrorCalendar.

The classic story of Alice in Wonderland can easily be tweaked into a horror tale, and that’s probably why it’s been done several times over the years. Up next is the indie horror movie Alice in Terrorland, which High Fliers Films just released on VOD and DVD today.

In Richard John Taylor’s Alice in Terrorland, “A recently bereaved teenage girl goes to live with her aunt in a secluded woodland house, unaware that sinister forces lurk within.”

Brand-new photos and an eerie film trailer show off Cinderella's Revenge. Expect twists, turns, sex, and violence in this upgraded horror version of the classic fairy tale. Actress Lauren Staerck stars as Cinderella, with Natasha Henstridge playing a blonde and Californian fairy godmother.

“This ain’t no fairy tale.” The tagline for Cinderella’s Revenge sums up the horror comedy perfectly as the classic story gets a gruesome upgrade this spring. That wicked stepmother and those insufferable stepsisters have pushed poor Cinderella too far. And with a little help from Cinder’s Fairy Godmother, the glass-slipper-wearing heroine is going to paint the town red with their blood.

Andy Edwards directs Cinderella's Revenge, and he promises a horrifying upgrade with many of the same central elements from the original storyline making the film. But there will also be plenty of twists and turns to surprise fans of the source material.

We exclusively shared the trailer for Cinderella’s Curse last week, but that’s just one of two Cinderella horror movies on the way this year. The other is titled Cinderella’s Revenge.

Cinderella gets her revenge in theaters on April 26, 2024, and Entertainment Weekly has shared the official trailer along with new info this week. Watch the trailer down below.

The Wrap recently reported, “The film stars Lauren Staerck as the famed young lady who finds freedom from her wicked stepmother with the help of her fairy godmother. Only this time, instead of sending her to a ball to find her prince, the godmother (Natasha Henstridge) helps Cinderella unleash a plan of bloody vengeance.”

Director Andy Edwards (Zombie Spring Breakers) tells EW this week, “We have Cinderella, we have the evil stepmother, we have the two evil sisters, and they treat her pretty badly. But there’s a few twists in it and a few surprises.

About eight months ago, we heard that Natasha Henstridge of the first two Species movies and John Carpenter’s Ghosts of Mars, among other credits, had signed on to star in Cinderella’s Revenge, which gives the classic fairy tale a horror twist. Last week, it was announced that the film is set to receive a theatrical release on April 26th, courtesy of Iconic Events. Now a trailer has arrived online to offer a glimpse of what this film has in store for us when it reaches the big screen, and you can check it out in the embed above.

This theatrical release is part of an exclusive deal with Regal, with Quiver Distribution handling all other rights in North America.

[Note: With the film set for its digital debut tomorrow, here’s a reposting of our review of Midnight Peepshow from its festival run back in 2022]

British horror cinema has a long-standing tradition of producing some of the best anthologies of all time, in particular in the era of Hammer, Tigon et al. So when a new anthology comes along it can be hard to separate it from history and tradition. But with Midnight Peepshow, filmmakers Andy Edwards, Airell Anthony Hayles, Ludovica Musumeci and Jake West actually tap into British cinematic history, setting their film in the formerly sleazy streets of London’s Soho – a place where, once upon a time, sex and cinema were often intertwined.

The film opens with the traditional wraparound,...

Having previously worked on films such as Midnight Peepshow, Graphic Designs, and The Ghosts of Monday, writer/director/producer Andy Edwards opens Punch with the sight of a young woman standing on the edge of a cliff. The grief-stricken look on her face indicates that she wishes to commit suicide, although a hooded figure appears to say inform her how that is not the way to do this. As the girl moves closer to investigate, something happens which makes her scream.

The horrors of the dark web are explored in Dark Star Pictures’ next movie Midnight Peepshow, and Bloody Disgusting is exclusively debuting the trailer this afternoon.

Meet the Black Rabbit on Digital and DVD on February 13, 2024.

And take a peep down the rabbit hole with the official trailer below…

In Midnight Peepshow we are introduced to an unnamed Madame who owns and operates a peepshow offering patrons a tailor-made experience wrapped around their deepest desires, fears, and sins.

Punch slashes its way onto Digital and VOD on January 16, 2024.

In the film, “Before heading back to university, Frankie craves one final night out in her coastal hometown, but sinister local legend Mr. Punch is on the prowl, and chaos ensues as Frankie and her friends fight for survival in this eerie slasher.”

Andy Edwards (Midnight Peepshow) wrote and directed the feature.

Welcome to Give Me the Fear, a new Frightfest 2023 preview series hosted by screenwriter Stuart Wright.

These brief, spoiler-free interviews will – across the entire series – help you to discover the kind of knowledge and experience about how to make indie horror films that they don’t teach at film school.

After looking back at the blood, sweat and tears that went into their creative successes, I ask them one last question: If you could hand pick one person to be in the audience for your Frightfest screening, who would it be and why? I think you going to love the answers this question elicits.

This episode features A Million Days (Mitch Jenkins), The Weird Kidz (Zach Passero) & Punch (Andy Edwards).

“We don’t really have a slasher franchise in the UK. We don’t have a Freddy or a Jason,” Andy Edwards told me last year when explaining his plans for this film. It was a statement which might have excited some fans and worried others. After all, the best films require a bit of originality, and whilst a UK-based slasher might be interesting, it wouldn’t bode well if it began life as an imitation. Both sets of fans (and many other viewers besides) will be pleased, however, by the work which premiered at 2023’s Frightfest. it’s a film which sets up a distinctive character and which also has character of its own.

The figure of Mr Punch has a history dating back some four hundred years, originating in Italy but evolving to take on a form which is unique to the English seaside tradition. It’s a form which has always.

Now on its fourth year, the Santiago Film Festival’s Morbido-Sanfic Lab features an ever more diverse selection from Ibero-America.

As Morbido founder-ceo Pablo Guisa said of this year’s edition: “It has projects from multiple countries, several produced or directed by women as well as one LGBTQ-themed project and, for the first time, a documentary.” Vampire creatures abound in this crop.

Humberto Mazari, the helmer-scribe-producer behind one of the six projects, psychological thriller “The Alaska Summit” (“La Cumbre de Alaska),” is developing three comic book spinoffs which will further delve into the underworld of the summit and the creatures that guard it. “In the coming weeks we expect to consolidate the visual aesthetics with three Latin American illustrators in charge of bringing these comic books to life,” he told Variety.

“As Pablo comments, this space continues to grow year by year, and I dare say it houses some of...

Cinderella is out for vengeance in Cinderella's Revenge, an upcoming horror film by Andy Edwards starring Lauren Staerck (Trust) and Natasha Henstridge (Species). In Disney's version of Cinderella (the most popular version of the classic children's tale), the heroine is pushed around by her evil stepmother and stepsisters but never acts violently against them. Things will look a little different in this retelling, and Cinderella will switch out her glass shoes and use the assistance of her Fairy Godmother to seek bloody vengeance.

In a statement to Deadline, who first reported the news, Sobini Films' Mark Amin said:

"Cinderella is the most famous fairy tale in the world. We were able to develop a great horror script that is also a female empowerment story with global appeal."

Staerck, best known for her roles in Trust, Bad Influencers and The P.A, will star as the titular character, while Natasha Henstridge will portray the Fairy Godmother.

Natasha Henstridge of the first two Species movies and John Carpenter’s Ghosts of Mars, among other credits, has signed on to star in Cinderella’s Revenge, which gives the classic fairy tale a horror twist. Filming is already underway in the UK, with Andy Edwards (Zombie Spring Breakers) directing for Sobini Films.

Starring Lauren Staerck (Curse of Jack Frost) as Cinderella, this take on the fairy tale will show us what happens when Cinderella’s wicked stepsisters and stepmother push her too far, leading her to swap her glass slippers in pursuit of blood-soaked vengeance with the help of her Fairy Godmother.

My immediate assumption was that Henstridge would be playing the wicked stepmother, but she’s actually taking on the role of the Fairy Godmother.

Henstridge and Staerck are joined in the cast of Cinderella’s Revenge by Stephanie Lodge (Jack & Jill: The Hills of Hell), Beatrice Fletcher...
