CINDERELLA'S CURSE

Cinemavixion Review

Louisa Warren's "Cinderella's Curse" reimagines the classic fairy tale not as a saccharine romance, but as a dark fantasy steeped in vengeance. This independent British production, released in 2024, pivots sharply from the familiar narrative, presenting a Cinderella who, tormented by her abusers, turns to forbidden magic for retribution. The film stars Kelly Rian Sanson in the titular role, supported by Chrissie Wunna and Lauren Budd, who embody the cruelty of her stepfamily. While the IMDb rating suggests a divisive reception, the film's audacity in twisting a beloved story into a horror-tinged drama is noteworthy. "Cinderella's Curse" offers a grim exploration of a princess pushed too far, trading glass slippers for a spellbook in a quest to settle old scores. It's a bold, albeit niche, interpretation that may appeal to those seeking a darker, more adult-oriented fairy tale.
