‘Rumpelstiltskin’ Exclusive Trailer – The Fairy Tale Gets a New Horror Movie This April

Say his name, say his name… Rumpelstiltskin is back with a brand new update on the terrifying fairy tale, and Bloody Disgusting has the exclusive trailer reveal for ya today.

From director Andy Edwards (Zombie Spring Breakers, Midnight Peepshow), Rumpelstiltskin is premiering at UK’s FrightFest this weekend before hitting U.S. VOD on April 8.

Hannah Baxter-Eve (Aguska, Escape), Joss Carter (Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared, Tarot) and Adrian Bouchet (The Wheel of Time, The Last Kingdom) star in the horror film.

Miracle Media previews, “The film breathes new life into the age-old children’s story, with eye-popping, gnarly special effects and a potty mouthed female protagonist who isn’t your typical damsel in distress. With bawdy humour and devilishly delightful visuals, this new incarnation certainly packs a punch and is sure to permeate your dreams with nightmare fuel.”

Once upon a time a greedy miller (Mark Cook) promises to marry off his beautiful daughter Evaline (Hannah Baxter-Eve) to the King (Colin Malone). But things don’t quite go to plan when his lies are uncovered and the pair are about to be locked up in a tower forever.

So, they make a bold promise to the King, that Evalina will spin straw into gold using a spinning wheel… but that’s easier said than done and they realise that they’ve made a promise they can’t keep. That is until a mischievous masked creature (Joss Carter) appears from nowhere with the offer of help. But help comes with a cost…

When the woman fulfills the task, the King becomes seduced by greed and wants more gold, so in an act of desperation she pleads with the fiendish imp and they make a deal… her firstborn child for more gold. But everyone ends up getting more than they bargained for when the Devil gets involved and all hell breaks loose.

Watch the official trailer for the new Rumpelstiltskin horror movie below.

A previous horror movie version of the classic German fairy tale was released way back in 1995, you may recall. You can grab a new Blu-ray copy of that film from Terror Vision now.
