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.
