B-horror
25 November 2022
Thomas Kaiser (Ethan Peck) is always dreaming of a Sleeping Beauty figure (India Eisley). Out of the blue, he inherits the ancestral mansion, Kaiser Gardens. It's apparently cursed and home to a series of tragic incidents over the centuries. Realtor Linda (Natalie Hall) reveals that she's actually looking for her brother who went missing in the house. They are joined by supernatural expert Richard Meyers (Bruce Davison) and edgy techie Daniel.

This relative B-horror alludes to the Brothers Grimm story. It's a haunted house horror. It has elements of Silent Hill. The mannequins have good potential. I would have liked Thomas and Linda to stay in the house. Leaving there to go pick up Richard and Daniel is a waste of time. There could be more done with Sleeping Beauty, both the idea and the character. This horror feels a bit undercooked.
