Cinderella's Curse

Absolute waste of time. Terrible storyline, terrible casting, poor production, poor acting. Cinderella should be young and the actress hired is aging poorly. No plot spoilers here because theres nothing I can say that would spoil it as there's no story to tell. The movie is as good as a poorly rehearsed school production. Unnecessarily gory. Not remotely scary. Feels like a rubbish comedy. I actually can't believe this was released in cinemas and then more so that I paid to waste my time. I should have read the reviews here because the majority are pretty accurate in regards to how terrible this movie actually is.

Directed by Louisa Warren and written by Harry Boxley, Cinderella's Curse starts with a woman named Phil (Sarah T. Cohen) asking her husband Jacob (Sam Byrne) not to kill her. He opens a book that he has taken from her, as the pages animate into existence, and Terrortures show up to serve him. This leads us to Cinderella (Kelly Rian Sanson), who serves as a slave to her stepmother Lady Dyer (Danielle Scott) and stepsisters Ingrid (Lauren Budd) and Hannah (Natasha Tosini). This stepfamily is somehow worse than the fairy tales that inspired this movie, as they torture and kill another maid, Anja (Helen Fullerton), and force Cinderella to bury the body. She soon finds the magic book and uses it to bring her fairy godmother (Chrissie Wunna) to her, but again, unlike what Disney or any other storyteller would do with this tale, she has no flesh and her offer of help comes with a price. The creators of this movie have told fairy tales before -- Tooth Fairy, Return of Punch and Judy, Jack and Jill 3 -- and that may be because they're shocking in the way the same company's Winnie the Pooh slashers are -- Warren acted in one of those -- and also material you don't need to pay to film. The biggest difference in this story is that the stepsisters have been in a throuple with Prince Levin (Sam Barrett) and they are luring Cinderella to the dance to torture and kill her. But this movie decides to rip off Carrie along the way and those glass slippers get used as weapons. This is trash but you know, sometimes that can be enjoyable. I'm sure the filmmakers want you to know that these fairy tales started off quite bloody, but then again, they didn't have wanna-be cenobites in them.

A few people are complaining about the blood and gore in the movie, but honestly, I do not mind that. I love blood and gore. My problem was that they stitched Hellraiser, Carrie, and Cinderella all in a big mess of a movie. The special effects were bad, but I have seen much worse, and the script was cheesy and very cliché. It's not even a good bad movie like Hob Goblins or any kind of Neal Breen movie, it's just bad bad. I am sure the creator of this movie had great intentions and I think a horror/fairy tale is awesome, but this was not it at all, it could have been better, it had the potential to be great.

First of all, this was a B movie. You have to remember that going in. With that known, it was an okay B movie. From start to finish, it was easy to watch and never got to be so bad that I wanted to turn it off. It seems to borrow from Wishmaster, Pumpkinhead, The Evil Dead, and Carrie. This okay B movie could have been much better. If only the editor had been paying attention! First of all, the scene at the beginning that introduces the book and the witch from an earlier time.... that was completely unnecessary and unrelated to the story. It would have been so much better to make this an origin story. Second, the evil step-mother should NOT be younger than her own daughters. That's just poor casting. Next, Cinderella has telekinetic abilities. Why use her telekinesis to close all doors and then forget about her powers only to swing her glass shoe around as a weapon? As I said, if you remember that it's a B movie, you won't have blockbuster expectations. The story was a good idea, but a few tweaks here and there will really make a difference. Maybe in the director's cut, eh?

This was nothing but a low rent Carrie remake with a hint of the Cinderella fairy tale thrown in. There really isn't anything good I can say about this. I only gave it a two because it killed an hour on a Saturday night. Not bad if you want to make a drinking game out of finding all the continuity errors. Every one of the characters and the actors were annoying. The "effects," what there were of them, couldn't have been worse if they were hand drawn and animated by a three year old with a crayon. The flashbacks were annoying and made no sense whatsoever. The opening sequence had zero bearing on the rest of the movie at all. Oh good.... Minimum character limit met. Thank God, because I could not talk about this trainwreck any longer.

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'm curious about the sandal she's using for killing. it doesn't even have a blood in it. but it was awesome, it's bloody and disturbing 🤘 a real horror!

Good horror movie to be watch

ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING!!!! From the beginning talks about how it gonna be at the end but unfortunately it wasn't how I expected it to be. It a nice movie but I don't really enjoyed it because of how the acting is, my rating would have been 5.10 but am giving it 4.10 because it doesn't worth watching....
