A Vingança de Cinderela

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.

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.

Not since the "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" have I laughed so hard at a campy low budget affair. The cameos were truly astonishing and least expected. Cheap blood and guts, great script and spot on b-movie acting (on pupose). The scenes were apparently all in rural England, which provided an excellent backdrop for this sordid on-its-head telling of a classic fairy tale.

I've read some of the other reviews and don't believe that they are getting the joke.

To sum up simply; this cinematic excursion into what-if land is excellently done, but it is exactly as intended.

Cheap, sarcastic and most importantly of all... A ginormous waste of daddy's time, money and friends!

A good romp!!!

I laughed so hard I almost wet myself.

This isn't the useal take of the cinderella we are used to seeing but i think it a intersting movie because i feel the movie show us what would happen if cinderella couldn't take the torture and abuse from her step-mom and her step-sisters anymore and what would she do when she snappeds also i think it shows us just how cruel and heartless her step-mom and step-sisters can be and how far they would go with their mistreatment of cinderella.

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.
