The twisted tale of ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Death and Porridge’ is currently storming the iTunes charts over in Japan. The movie, directed and produced by Craig Rees, hit the number 2 spot over the weekend and is currently sitting as the number 10 top renter in the horror genre in Japan.

The movie had a successful time in the USA where it stayed in the top 40 for over three weeks in the USA on the Microsoft/XBox platform. It also has been a top seller of DVD units in the U.K.

“When a group of friends arrive at the wrong address for their annual reunion vacation, Desperate, they break into a isolated house only to later discover it belongs to psychotic killers dressed as Goldilocks and the Three Bears.”

Craig Rees offers a fresh and darkly creative take on the classic children’s story with his latest horror project, “Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Death and Porridge.” This film blends dark fantasy and horror, creating an experience that is both intriguing and unsettling.

The movie opens with a dreamlike flashback sequence that effectively sets the eerie tone. From there, we follow the characters to the infamous house in the woods, a setting that Rees transforms into a character of its own. Visually, the film impresses with its dark, atmospheric cinematography that captures the creepy beauty of the forest and the house. The score, albeit a little disjointed, enhances the tension throughout.

Reminiscent of home invasion classics such as Bryan Bertino’s “The Strangers” (2008), the movie blends tension and weirdness while utilizing practical techniques to create a disturbingly real experience. Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to overlook the lackluster performances...

The upcoming horror slasher Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Death and Porridge puts a horror twist to the classic children's story with a slasher flick akin to The Purge and The Strangers.

The original story of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" was nightmare fuel for disobedient children until English author Robert Southey adapted it into the cheery fairytale classic. While "Goldilocks'" themes have remained intact across countless adaptations and plot tweaks, few ventured to put a horror twist to the tale. Versions of the story exist in the public domain, though, which makes it easier for filmmakers to reimagine the characters as they see fit. With Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Death and Porridge securing multiple buyers for release (per Variety), the slasher fairytale is set to join the staple fare of horror releases recently popularized by Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey.

Winnie the Pooh. Cinderella. Mickey Mouse. If a beloved character falls into the public domain, you can be sure that a horror movie twist on the classic tale won’t be far behind.

The next of these public domain horrors is slasher movie Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Death and Porridge, and Variety shares a first look sneak peek today (find it above).

The upcoming slasher is being compared to The Strangers and The Purge.

Variety details, “In this adaptation of the fairy tale, Goldilocks and the three bears live together in an isolated house in the woods. When a group of friends enter their home, Goldilocks, leader of the bears’ pack, decides to get rid of the intruders.”

Craig Rees directed for Rees Dragon Prods.

Rees, Olga Solo, Abigail Huxley, and Julian Amos star.

Putting a horrific twist on popular children’s stories is all the rage these days. Earlier this year, we got Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (read our review Here), and the filmmakers behind that movie are planning to not only make a sequel, but to also build a cinematic universe that will include horror versions of Bambi and Peter Pan (Bambi: The Reckoning and Peter Pan: Neverland Nightmare), among others. Meanwhile, Cinderella’s Curse, Cinderella’s Revenge, and Sleeping Beauty’s Massacre are coming down the line. Now writer/director Craig Rees has revealed that his horror thriller Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Death and Porridge is already in post-production – and we have the Exclusive first look at the teaser trailer in the embed above!

Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Death and Porridge has a short and simple synopsis: Never enter into someone’s house without permission.

But most of us...

The very first image from “Goldilocks and The Three Bears: Death and Porridge,” the newest creation written and directed by Craig Rees, has been unveiled. With the upcoming sensation of “The Exorcist” and the unforgettable darkness of “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey,” the stage is set once more for another thrilling horror journey as we delve into an exhilarating twist on the renowned classic tale. And brace yourselves for the imminent release of the teaser trailer which is due later this month. The official trailer is currently scheduled to drop in June.

So prepare to be enchanted, enthralled, and transported to a world where fairy tales take on a whole new bloody meaning.

With director Tammi Sutton’s much-buzzed about and award-winning feature Isle of Dogs premiering in Los Angeles this coming Saturday night at the New Beverly Cinema (7165 West Beverly Blvd.), we caught up with the filmmaker to discuss her thoughts on the premiere and feature, as well as those on Whispers, her latest project, and more.

“I'm excited to announce my feature film Isle of Dogs is playing at The New Beverly,” Sutton, who also executive produced from a script by Sean Hogan, told us of the L.A. bow of her bloody, British crime-thriller. Isle of Dog stars Andrew Howard (I Spit On Your Grave) as a violent gangster who finds himself embroiled in a love triangle with his Russian trophy-wife Nadia (Hostel actress Barbara Nedeljakova), and a small-time hood (Edward Hogg).

“As a filmmaker, on a very personal level, I had always dreamed of filming something in England,” Sutton told us.
