Show more >> Cinderella's Revenge is a curious mix of fairy tale whimsy and horror that doesn't quite hit the mark. While the premise of a vengeful Cinderella is intriguing, the execution feels uneven. Andy Edwards attempts to create a dark atmosphere, but at times it comes off as forced rather than genuinely unsettling. The performances are decent, yet some characters lack depth, leaving the audience wanting more backstory.

Despite its flaws, there are captivating visuals and a few striking scenes that showcase the film's potential. It's an interesting watch for those who enjoy twisted fairy tales, but it may not satisfy everyone’s expectations. Show less
