Okay, Natasha Henstridge is an ageless beauty. The sultry star of "Species" and "Ghost of Mars" is the Fairy Godmother in today's feature. She has a wand, will summon Elon Musk and Vidal Sassoon, and corrupt Cinderella into becoming a mad slasher. The Prince will have a few surprises coming when he seeks the owner of a glass slipper left at his ball...very erotic surprises, too. Intrigued? Today we look at 2024's "Cinderella's Revenge," directed by Andy Edwards.
Cinderella (Lauren Staerck) is beset by an evil stepmother, Katherine (Stephanie Lodge), and two brutal step sisters, Rachel (Megan Purvis) and Josephine (Beatrice Fletcher). As the film begins, Katherine has murdered Cinderella's dad (Mike Kelson). Now Cinderella is an abused servant, ripe for torture and whipping. The Prince (Darrell Griggs) sends invites to every nubile babe in the kingdom. He will throw a ball and select a wife from the talent pool that shows up. Rachel and Josephine will attend, as will their mother. Cinderella is left home to do chores...enter the Fairy Godmother. Miss Henstridge portrays a contemporary Fairy Godmother and summons up history's best fashion designers to design Cinderella's wardrobe and even Elon Musk to drive her to the mall in an EV.
Cinderella captures the affections of the Prince, but Katherine and her two daughters are seething mad. Midnight arrives, and Cinderella has to run away. Once Katherine and the evil step sisters arrive home, they torture and pummel Cinderella. Enter the Fairy Godmother with an idea. Revenge. Bloody revenge. The babe fairy provides the means and now Cinderella's enemies are shredded. Gutting, disembowelment, and pummeling await the wrath of everyone's favorite fairy tale damsel. This one will get quite gory. The ending? Ha! You can figure it out, especially if you know the fairy tale. There is one not quite slight deviation. What happens in the marital bed after the wedding will leave you wincing and aroused.
Do Katherine, Rachel, or Josephine have a prayer at making it to the end credits? How can we get fairy godmothers like Natasha Henstridge? Did the Prince bite off more than he could chew in selecting a Cinderella coming to terms with her...dark side? This one is a lot of fun and not too different from the actual fairy tale, before it was toned down for children. See "Cinderella's Revenge" and enjoy Natasha Henstridge.
