CINDERELLA'S REVENGE

A horror take on the classic tale finds young Cinderella, fed up with the antics of her step-sisters and step-mother and goes on a murder spree for those who have done her wrong. In recent years, a lot of these childhood characters have been given the horror treatment which I can REALLY get behind as horror is one of, if not my favorite genre. And while many are composed on a shoestring budget, this film actually rises above its seemingly limitations. Wonderful set pieces and for my money, I couldn't keep my eyes off of Josephine (Beatrice Fletcher), who marvelously chews up every scene she's in and outdoing all of her counterparts. While this may seem cheesy going into it, I was quite surprised with the production value, even garnering the likes of a name like Natasha Henstridge to play the Fairy Godmother. You know what you're in for when you hit play but this has been one of the better children's characters/horror films that have been released in recent years! 6/10
