Loved this take on Cinderella. It showed how flawed she was as a person which gives her a new light as a character. It also showed how tormented Elvira (who I'm guessing would have been Drusilla in the original version, just going based on hair style not color) was internally and externally over her body image. The lengths that she went to to make herself beautiful were gorey and absolutely horrific to watch because of how good the practical effects in this film were. I felt very sympathetic to her in this so the only thing I can truly say here is bravo 👏 to everyone in this movie. This was an overall great experience.
Fun quirky take on a fairytale with some truly horrific scenes, enough to make you gag
I loved this dark twisted version of Cinderella, I felt for Elvira’s character. The lengths she took to try to marry the prince
Gnarliest movie I’ve seen in a long time. LOVED it.
Honestly, I absolutely loved this! greed and desire where there are no limits , and man’s ability to care only for what is on the outside made this film a cautionary tale to anyone out there who are crippled with vanity and the pressures to be perfect. Is it extreme? I would say definitely not, when you see the lengths people will go to be liked and admired today.
