The fairy tale horrors just won’t quit following the cult success of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. Now it’s Goldilocks who will join with axe-wielding bears in Goldilocks And The Three Bears: Death and Porridge. Seriously, are all of these movies going to combine a favorite food with something brutal? Seems like it. What’s next? Dr. Seuss: Green Eggs, Ham, & Murder?
Rather than the story of a young girl who invades the home of three bears, eats their porridge, tries out their beds, and sits in their chairs, this movie resembles The Strangers in execution. A group of people arrive at a secluded home in the woods, only to be stalked by mysterious strangers, one in a Goldilocks mask and three others in bear masks.
An earlier teaser shows a couple waking up in the middle of the woods, surrounded by the same cackling attackers. One bear is ominously stirring a cauldron (human porridge?), while another raises an axe overhead triumphantly. Uh oh.
The synopsis is short and sweet: Never enter into someone’s house without permission.
Starring as Goldilocks is Olha Solomakhina, joined by Julian Amos, Flex Singh, Jimmy Roberts, Abigail Huxley, Susan Franks, Robson Medler, Jack Barry and Grace Darling Smith. The film springs from the obviously-corrupted mind of writer/director Craig Rees.
Expect more twisted fairy tales to arrive soon with Cinderella’s Curse, Bambi: The Reckoning, and more.
No release date for this one yet, but when it finally arrives I look forward to foisting it upon our horror writer Ronny Sharpes.
