The idea of retelling placid and gentle children's fairy tales in a bloody, horror milieu is hardly new. Think of a fairy tale or beloved children's classic, and odds are good that someone has already transformed it into a horror movie. Off the top of my head: Neil Jordan made a horror movie out of Little Red Riding Hood with "The Company of Wolves" in 1984.

"The Little Mermaid" was transformed into an awesome 2015 horror musical called "The Lure." Pinocchio starred in "Pinocchio's Revenge." The Gingerbread Man was transformed into "The Gingerdead Man". A quick stroll through the spider-webbed hallways of Tubi might reveal titles like "The Curse of Sleeping Beauty," 1995's "Rumplestiltskin," and multiple films called "The Tooth Fairy.

This Proportion Productions feature stars: Stephanie Lodge (Witches of the Water), Ryan Davies (Black Mountains), and Jake Watkins. Developed by director Scott Jeffrey (The Final Scream), this title will show in the United States this March. The official synopsis reveals very little. However, the trailer tells a wider story. A family heads to their grandparent's house, only to find her missing. Not long after, this family finds someone in dire straits.
