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.

Well, if you enjoy the original "Cinderella" tale from Charles Perrault, then chances are that you might also enjoy this reinterpretation from writer Tom Jolliffe, provided you have a thing for homicidal maniac versions of peaceful characters.

I had the opportunity to sit down and watch the 2024 movie "Cinderella's Revenge", and opted to do so since it was a movie that I hadn't even heard about. And given it supposedly being a horror movie, of course I had to check it out. I have to admit, though, that I harbored zero expectations to it, given it's title.

Needless to say that this 2024 take on the story certainly is a lot more dark and sinister than the original story.

Of the entire cast ensemble in the movie, I was only familiar with Natasha Henstridge, and she had but a support role in the movie. It should be noted, however, that the acting performances in the movie were fair enough.

The effects in the movie were adequate. You're not in for anything grand, but the effects do work as intended. There are some nice enough scenes with mayhem and blood to please us gorehounds.

Watchable for what it was, director Andy Edwards's wasn't exactly an outstanding or memorable horror experience. I have to admit that turning the Cinderella character into a homicidal slasher just was a bit of an odd thing. So in a way, I suppose that this was a revenge movie, basically.

My rating of "Cinderella's Revenge" lands on a four out of ten stars.

I ain't mad at the final girl being a blood thirsty revenge seeker on those that have turned her entire world upside down and used her as a pawn for their own means. One reviewer, 'Murderella's Addiction' is actually offended that Cinderella becomes a vigilante? And the use of a fictional character and story to be magically untangled and turned into a slasher is alright with me. I enjoyed the premise of this storyline and the kills and fight scenes. I wasn't too disappointed in the acting because it wasn't overall bad. I went into this thinking it was going to be a borderline B/C average watch. It was entertaining at best for a Saturday pick me up. No the settings weren't ideal to match real castles and or large estates, but this is a low budget film and it's purpose is to only bring to life a story from a twisted angle of a fairytale everyone knows. Too bad folks didn't enjoy it for pure entertaining fun.

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.
