Grotesque Images From The New Fairytale Horror Film SLEEPING BEAUTY'S MASSACRE
Fairytale horror films are all the rage right now in the indie horror movie market and today we’ve got our first look at the upcoming film Sleeping Beauty’s Massacre. As you’ll see in the images, this is going to be a bloody and grotesque take on the story of Sleeping Beauty.
In the film, “The beautiful Princess Thalia is thrown to ruins after her father’s mysterious death. She lives with Prince Edison who she is in love with but can no longer marry since losing her status. Queen Velma wants the kingdom for herself and will use her dark powers, and use of the occult, to take over at any means necessary.
Velma casts Thaila into a deep sleep to never wake, “till one day she does and her web of lies start to fall around her. A violent twist after twist with gory and graphic deaths will ensue.”
Sure! Why not! The movie will be produced and directed by Louisa Warren (Cinderella’s Curse). Jasmine Ebony Thomas wrote the script and It’s currently shooting in Scotland.
Warren said in a statement: “This film will flip everything as you know it on its head. It is savage, dark and utterly horrifying. I am setting out to create the most uncomfortable horror experience to date. There will be lies, gore and a big massacre. If you look back at the original material there is so much to play with.”
Star Lora Hristova added: “This movie has taken everything back to the gritty origins. There are truly horrific, gut-wrenching moments.” Hristova plays Princess Thalia in the film and she stars alongside Benedict Clarke, Sophie Rankin, Charlotte Coleman and Yvonne Curwen.
ITN Studios is planning a 2023 release.
