We broke the news last week that Cinderella is getting her own horror movie with the upcoming Cinderella’s Curse, and Bloody Disgusting has learned this week that the same production company is developing another horror spin on a classic children’s tale.
A horror retelling of Sleeping Beauty, the film Sleeping Beauty’s Massacre is on the way from ChampDog Films, with shooting set to kick off this August in the UK.
ITN Studios will be distributing the upcoming horror movie, which will be produced and directed by Louisa Warren (Cinderella’s Curse). Jasmine Ebony Thomas is writing.
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.”
Lora Hristovia will star in Sleeping Beauty’s Massacre as Princess Thalia, along with Lila Lasso, Leah Glater, Robbie Taylor, Sophie Rankin, Charlotte Coleman and Judy Tcherniak.
Director Louisa Warren teases, “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.”
ITN Studios is planning a 2023 release. Sales will commence at AFM.
