'Cinderella's Curse': Release Window, Cast, Plot, and Everything We Know So Far

It isn’t surprising to see new adaptations of classic fairy tales. Recently, however, more and more classic stories have been reimagined into brutal horror movies. Now Cinderella is getting the treatment next with the upcoming film Cinderella’s Curse.

At this point, it's a widely known fact that the all-smiling fairy tale stories that the likes of Disney produce were not quite in the same spirit as the original folk tales they're based on. In reality, those fairy tales were meant to warn children of the dangers of the world, with their themes and styling often taking quite cruel and horrifying turns. Many filmmakers in the Hollywood era have adapted the classic Brothers Grimm tales, often focusing on the love and joy that can be found in the stories in order to make them appropriate for a modern young audience. One such story that seems to have had many a great remake is Cinderella. As a tale told to children across the world, Cinderella is considered timeless and has been retold in many forms, however, most of these forms tend to be in the spirit of the famous Disney adaption rather than the Brothers Grimm tale. So, perhaps finally, it is time to see the true horror that can live within the cracked facade of innocence in the Cinderella story. Made by ITN Studios, the same team that brought the world Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, comes Cinderella's Curse, a gory romp that's perfect for this Halloween season. So, with that in mind and plenty of news about the movie releasing regularly, here is everything we know about Cinderella's Curse so far.

If I’m being honest, I don’t like how this looks, at all. Cinderella’s Curse is expected to land in October 2023 with shopping to begin at AFM. Kelly Rian Sanson, Chrissie Wunna, and Danielle Scott star in the title which was penned by Harry Boxley, one of the stars and writers of Jason Arber’s (Kick-Ass) horror makeover, Mary Had a Little Lamb.
