well this is actually very close to the real Brothers Grimm version of Cinderella. The one step sister "fixes" her toes, while the other "fixes" the rest. I think people forget how dark the o. g Cinderella really is. I was going to pass on this movie, but I'm glad I didn't!
It was slow for sure, but that eyelash scene. . . hoo-boy.
trying to reinvent the Cinderella story. But let’s be honest… no amount of fairy dust can turn this pumpkin into a carriage. It tries so hard to be macabre and is even innovative portraying Cindy as a dominatrix (kudos) — but overall, it once again delivers another version of bargain-bin glass slipper than a dazzling royal ball. No magic or mystery here.
I adore this movie!!!!! It’s just the right amount of different where you almost forget it’s even a retelling or Cinderella! The body horror is fantastic and not corny or predictable at all. Definitely my fav horror of 2025!
Had no idea what we were getting into when we watched this! Horror Cinderella. Our first foreign film was subtitles and we absolutely loved it! Gruesome in all the right ways.
