FRIGHTFEST 2024 PREVIEW: CINDERELLA'S CURSE
This ain't no fairytale! The classic children's folk tale character gets a bloody new re-imagining from director Louisa Warren as Cinders goes from Belle of the Ball to Kicker of Asses.
Once Upon a Time… the Disney princesses now get in on the horror legend act and here’s the first of a spine-chilling twist on a familiar fairy tale. Simple yet beautiful handmaid Cinderella wishes for love and happiness, but she finds herself ill-treated and abused daily by her evil stepsisters and stepmother, unable to escape their cruel clutches. Until she summons her fairy godmother from an ancient flesh-bound book, who can grant Cinderella her greatest wish: ultimate revenge. Now, with bloodlust, Cinderella goes to the ball to massacre those who have done her wrong before the hour strikes midnight.
Director Louisa told us:
Cinderella's Curse is a dark retelling, putting an evil twist on the familiar tale. Darkness and despair surrounds Cinderella in her cruel life and we watch her finally break and take revenge. It was a great pleasure to direct this and turn something so pure into a gruesome ordeal. It was shot mainly in Scotland in a gorgeous castle and we had a fantastic time shooting it as low budget horrors are super fun to do. We are all really excited to get into FrightFest, it is our first film in the festival and we are looking forward to sharing Cinderella with everyone!
