Cinderella's Curse

Cinderella's Curse is a bold reimagining of the classic fairy tale, taking a darker and more twisted approach than Disney's 1950 version. Directed by Louisa Warren, this film dives into the horror genre, offering a fresh yet chilling perspective on the beloved story.

The plot follows Cinderella, played by Kelly Rian Sanson, who discovers an ancient book that summons a vengeful fairy godmother. This twist transforms the tale from a simple rags-to-riches story into a gripping narrative of revenge and dark magic. The film's atmosphere is eerie and intense, with stunning visuals that bring the sinister elements to life. While the movie excels in creating a haunting ambiance and delivering unexpected plot twists, it falls short in character development and pacing. Some scenes feel rushed because it is a 78 minute runtime so that js probably why, and the characters, especially the evil (karen) stepmother and stepsisters, lack depth

However, the performances, particularly by Chrissie Wunna as the fairy godmother, are commendable and add a layer of intrigue to the film. Cinderella's Curse is a decent watch for those who enjoy horror and fantasy genres. It may not reach the timeless charm of Disney's 1950 classic, but it certainly offers a unique and thrilling experience that stands out in its own right. If you're in the mood for a dark twist on a familiar story, this film is worth a watch.
