Horror movies based on public domain properties are pretty hot right now, but it seems a lot of filmmakers are messing around and finding out when wading into these waters. Much the same way Mickey’s Mouse Trap was retitled The Mouse Trap for its VOD release this week, the film formerly titled Sleeping Beauty’s Massacre has a new title for its own release.
Now titled Ouija Castle, the Sleeping Beauty-inspired horror movie is now available on VOD outlets including Prime Video. Yes, Ouija Castle. You can watch the new trailer below.
From the team behind Cinderella’s Curse comes Ouija Castle, a horror retelling of the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty that was directed by Louisa Warren (Cinderella’s Curse).
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 Hristova stars in Ouija Castle as Princess Thalia, along with Benedict Clarke, Sophie Rankin, Charlotte Coleman and Yvonne Curwen.
Director Louisa Warren had teased a few months back, “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.”
