You know what that sound means it's another episode
of game for a movie where we ask are you game
for a movie? My name is Mike. I'll be your host
this evening. It is the start of spoopy season
Yes, every single October we try to give a theme
and try to do as many episodes as we can involving
spoopy movies or spooky movies if you're a nerd
yeah looking forward to this year this year because
The Pooniverse movies the Winnie the Pooh blood
and honey movies the Team -up movie was supposed
to happen on Halloween it got pushed back, but
we're still sticking with this theme anyway We
are doing public domain characters in horror
movies so anything that has been released to
the public domain pretty much almost immediately
a movie gets made when their public domain that
is some kind of horror movie So this one is Cinderella,
of course But of course, we got to start with
what are we drinking and I had around the house
some goose IPA Goose Island IPA as a Chicago
boy. I do love me some goose IPA We had a couple
of these because on Saturday It was my son's
first birthday And so we had a lot of different
beers and stuff because we had a group of people
friends family Everybody had a great time. I'll
say that the Sunday after I was feeling a little
Little you know like I had too much. I was fine
overall, but I just felt a little bit like I
had a little too much Luckily, I have a deal

jump into something that did not leave me with
a headache, surprisingly. It is Cinderella's
Revenge. Cinderella's Revenge was made in 2024.
There are not a lot of big names on it. I'm not
going to expect you to know a lot of names that
I'm going to throw at you. This was released
April 26, 2024. It is an hour and 25 minutes.
Falls into the horror category, of course, because
it is spoopy season. It does not have a critic
score, and it does have an audience score of
35%. So it does fall under our 40 % on both.
A quick synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes. Here's
what I'll say. I'll jump into it. with more detail
and a little bit of course and give you all the
details so you don't have to watch this but I
will say if this is what you were looking for
you are going to get that this is exactly what
it says on the tin it is not great but it is
a decent b -movie horror movie where you can
enjoy yourself at some of the parts I will say
I'm probably never going to watch it again but
I'm not upset with myself that I watched it this
time Cinderella's Revenge is the second movie
in a row that we had distributed by Quiver. Quiver
also distributed The Fanatic that we watched
for the last episode. This director is Andy Edwards.
If you don't know that name, don't worry. I'm
gonna break down his filmography. This is probably
up there as one of his better successes, maybe?
Kind of thing. He's more a writer, but he has
directed about 15 films, including Rumpelstiltskin
from 2025, there's obviously Cinderella's Revenge,
Punch from 2023, Midnight Peep Show, The Vampire
of Soho, London Horror Story, Blaze of Gory,
Zombie Spring Breakers. You're noticing a lot
of the same things, I would hope. Uh, there also
is two from 2010 that I'm kind of intrigued by.
They're both shorts. Uh, it's house party of
the dead five and six. So, you know, this is
the pedigree we are jumping into to start. Um,
no offense meant to Andy because Andy Edwards,
the world needs movies like this. It was written
by, I'm going to get this wrong, but, uh, Tom
Jolliffy? Jolliffy? Something like that, J -O
-L -L -I -F -F -E, Joel? Joel? Something like
that? I don't know. Along those same lines, as
our director, here are some of the movies written
by Tom here. Of course, we've got Cinderella's
Revenge, The Baby in the Basket, House of Screaming
Glass, Sky Monster, War of the Worlds The Attack,
Firenado, Mega Lightning, Renegades, Wrath of
Van Helsing, Reign of Chaos. And my personal
favorite, in 2023 -2024, he wrote three Christmas
movies. There's Christmas with the Prince, Christmas
with the Pups, and Christmas with the Pups 2,
Pups Alone. Tom might be one of my favorite writers
right now, just looking at that. There's not
a lot of big names that star in it. The biggest
name I'm going to give you is Natasha Henstrich.
Natasha Henstrich... She was Cynthia in the whole
nine and the whole ten yards and the big thing
she was a part of early on in her career. She
was part of the species movies. That was in 1995
was the first species. She has 89 credits to
her name, including six that are upcoming. So
good for her. She's finding a lot of work and
everything like that. So, yeah, that's probably
your biggest name on here. I could give you the
rest of these names, but I'm doubting you've
seen them in anything really. Don't have details
about how much this movie was made for I'm sure
it's not a lot because it definitely seems like
a straight -to -dvd movie the gross worldwide
was $27 ,298 I can give you that I'm guessing
probably didn't make a ton of money if it made
any at all it It's definitely low budget, so
I'm not going to say that It didn't make money.
If it did, it did not make a lot. So let's jump
into the gory details of Cinderella's Revenge.
We start in the beginning with Cinderella Snapped
as the name of the song. It is performed by Jax.
If you don't know who Jax is, she's an amazing
musician. You've probably seen her at some point
in a TikTok, Instagram reel, something. You've
probably seen her before and this is a perfect
start to this movie because honestly, Cinderella
Snapped is a banger. and it does fit a lot of
the criteria of this movie. So we open up on
a man climbing up a hill. He is running from
these knights on horses and he goes to the barn
and he finds Katherine. Katherine is the evil
stepmother. We don't know this at this point,
but we can kind of sense there's a little bit
of hostility immediately as soon as he gets there.
He wants to get Katherine out of there because
the king thinks that he stole the Persian gems
from the king and so Catherine's just kind of
like well you should run and he goes no we need
to run we need to get out of here and then Catherine
pulls a gun on him and not only that there's
also these two men in skull masks that also pop
out from like behind it's in this barn they pop
out from like behind these hay bales and they
beat him up and essentially just to like corral
him And this is the big turning point of when
Cinderella's dad is going to die He is beheaded
and it's a pretty good beheading like for a cheap
budget and everything like that It does look
pretty solid. I will say the blood looks a little
too red, you know, I'm Diving in a little more
on the gory details of this because I do love
in these horror movies Sometimes a good kill
like that's what I'm that's what I'm there for
you know and that kind of thing It sounds dark.
I don't mean it to be but it is true. Like when
you when you go to one of these horror movies
this is what you want you did come here for some
of these kills especially if you're in for like
a slasher movie or something like that obviously
this isn't quite a slasher but that's kind of
what you were looking for so he was beheaded
she then pays the men and gives them the bounty
on his head too they're very happy they got paid
a ton of money she gets to keep the persian gems
and then she immediately goes to cinderella And
she reveals to Cinderella that her father had
been stealing from the king and all the king's
horses and all the king's men Yeah, they killed
your father again So Cinderella is fatherless
Katherine also tries to turn this on Cinderella
saying that he was trying to steal the gems for
her and So they wanted to kill her too, but Katherine
was able to talk them down and basically said,
as long as you're willing to live with me, I'm
going to keep my eye on you, and the king's horses
and king's men won't care. Like, you live with
me, everything's good, everything's hunky -dory,
they don't want a piece of you because they think
you're the one that he was stealing the jewels
for. And so she's crying and everything like
that, but she understands and kind of signs up
for it. And so now... She is essentially a servant
and she's going to be doing chores for the rest
of her life Under the watchful eye of Katherine
is what I will say. So Yeah, and not only Katherine
but the two stepsisters as well Josephine and
Rachel and The end of this closes with somebody
we do not know who but somebody has found one
of the skull masks in the barn and has picked
it up from the ground we have no clue who it
is and it goes to three years later and normally
I am very much um there's a joke in like Rick
and Morty where I would rather you start this
scene or start the movie where the story begins
I think this was needed I think this is actually
one of those things where you could have jumped
like this so I'm not gonna give it shit for jumping
three years uh now Cinderella has Assumed her
position as a servant made whatever what -have
-you for Josephine Rachel and Katherine We also
kind of get an insight to how wicked these guys
are Because Rachel at one point grabs like a
flower vase and starts yelling Cinderella, what
are you doing? Oh, no, don't do that and then
like throws it and shucks it and breaks it and
Katherine comes in is like I'm going to punish
you later We kind of get an idea of how much
they mess with Cinderella how much torture she's
kind of put through and that kind of stuff. It's
that night after the vase breaks and she's clearing
the house everybody's kind of away so she's just
by herself and she heard a door open and close
out there and so she kind of wants to see what's
going on so she walks outside to see what the
noise is and she is jumped essentially by Rachel
and Josephine. and Rachel starts beating her
with a broomstick like just full -on beating
her down to the ground and Rachel also pulls
a knife and threatens to cut out her eye but
luckily Katherine is there to stop it and appear
like the good stepmother and everything like
that she's the good stepmother you know she stopped
her from not getting stabbed and losing an eye
because she needs both eyes to be able to see
her chores and everything like that so that's
the kind of idea We get we also get introduced
to a line that keeps getting repeated over and
over and over again Cinderella calls her mother
and Every single time Katherine kind of like
not shudders, but kind of like gets cold and
says step mother like it's She hits every consonant
to make sure that you feel the vitriol from her
lips like it's just step mother You know, like
you know she has disdain for Cinderella. These
beatings are apparently fairly often because
it's the next day and nobody really seems to
talk about it anymore. And they get a message
that they are having a ball. The prince is having
a ball. He's looking for a wife. And so the girls
are getting all excited and everything like that.
And I'll say that Rachel almost had her boobs
fall out. That's how excited she was because
they were like playing dress up for the ball.
and like getting their their stuff ready and
everything like that my thing is this it's not
that night so why are they like dressing up in
these dresses now i don't i don't understand
that i guess i mean whatever it's fine but it's
just kind of weird that they're like already
getting dressed and it's not that day the ball
also piques cinderella's interest and like obviously
i'm gonna try to like I'm trying to give you
the changes of the story. We all know It's not
a whole lot of different for the most part. It's
the story of Cinderella It takes a turn towards
the end. So a lot of this at the beginning I'm
just giving you the groundwork. This is the normal
Cinderella story except for certain things I'm
gonna tell you those things and then when we
get probably about halfway things are going to
change Cinderella of course wants to go to this
ball She asked Katherine if she can go and of
course she's told no and so they go to the ball
and Cinderella is left alone at the house it's
now dark and she's looking at the sky and She
prays she's like praying to her mother. She's
like mother if you can hear me Jesus Moses Mohammed
whoever just somebody listen to me and I just
want to go to the ball and I want to feel important
for one night. That's all I want. And this time
she hears banging again on a door and she opens
it. It's a cupboard. It's glowing purple inside.
It looks like it's like this next dimension or
something like that. But we don't get any details
about that next dimension because the fairy godmother
just appears behind her and kind of scares her.
Her fairy godmother's willing to help and says
like, I'll help you go to the ball. I'll help
you catch the attention of the prince. I got
you, girl. And Cinderella's just like, it doesn't
matter. It's already too late. It's already late
for this ball and everything. I don't have anything
to wear. I don't have anything to get there and
everything. And the fairy godmother starts talking
about, like, how she can make anything up here.
Do you see the wand? Like, if you want a tunic
from the 1200s, I've got you. If you want hammer
pants from the 1990s, I've got you. And Cinderella's
like, hammer pants? And she goes, never mind.
It's all good. And so. The fairy godmother is
ready to like wave her wand and Make the dress
appear and stuff like that. We think No, it's
just a lot easier to not have like this magical
CGI She just makes appear from the cupboard Tom
Ford the fashion designer Christian Louboutin
the shoe designer and Vidal Sassoon the the Beautician
that does her hair and makeup and everything
like that and they are going to help her get
ready for this ball also says soon swears a ton
for no reason other than just he wants to say
fuck I guess and There's no magical powers to
make this dress like they are working by hand
to make these things It's dark already So if
they're gonna stay with the same timeline for
she has to leave by midnight they've got like
two hours to do this tops so that she can get
there at all and of course they do they get it
done and she has this brand new dress that looks
okay I mean again low budget whatever it's it's
not a great dress and so she asked for she goes
oh fairy godmother I can't get there I don't
have a carriage and she goes oh I got it and
like waves her wand and all of a sudden an electric
orange car pops up And Cinderella does not understand
what this is. She's looking at it going like,
what the hell is this? There's no horses. How
am I going to get there? And she basically says,
oh, this is an electric car, dear. And Cinderella's
like, electric? And the godmother is like, never
mind. Cinderella asks who will drive this for
her, because she doesn't know how to drive. Well,
it's already being driven by somebody, and that
is Elon Musk. Yep, there is an Elon Musk actor
in this movie. It's not the actual Elon it is
Somebody playing him and as they leave of course
the orange Electric vehicle has the license plate
pumpkin so yeah it now flashes to the ball and
Everybody is there and they're awaiting the prince,
but this is not like the Fairy tale animated
ballroom that we all have come to know this is
like a row house like it's just a living room
That has been cleared and then there's just stairs
that the prince comes down like normal house
stairs He comes down. That's just a regular common
room that they've got filled up and There's so
many people in there that definitely then disappear
later because they do have room to dance and
stuff it's full of like 80 people and then After
this scene, there's probably like 20 people tops
that are in this room because you keep seeing
them over and over and over again These stepsisters
are of course uncivilized. They like are eating
food around people they're like arguing with
each other that kind of thing and They still
fully believe in their heart of hearts. They
are going to be the ones that are going to get
the prince to take them home including I keep
talking about Rachel but Rachel really is like
the forward one of the two of them or like the
more prominent one of the two of them during
this. She gets some time with the prince and
they're talking and it's not going very well
and then she kind of asks if he likes forward
women and he goes forward women and she kind
of just licks her lips at him and then tries
to kiss him which he then needs to go somewhere
else and he's just like oh I'm sorry I must see
Lord Wrathbone before he leaves. and leaving
her alone uh Josephine doesn't really get any
time with him at that point and then arriving
to the house yeah it's cinderella who gets yelled
at by Katherine Katherine sees her immediately
and starts yelling at her like where did you
get this dress why are you here you're supposed
to be cleaning you can't get in any way you don't
have a uh an invitation or anything well she
does have an invitation and she does get in And
Catherine kind of takes it all in and goes, okay,
she's going to be punished later. Like, we're
not going to make a big deal of it. You want
to seem prim and proper and nice. You are a lady
after all. So Cinderella is going to get it later.
Cinderella walks in and she walks straight towards
the prince who is dancing with the Princess of
China. The prince catches her eye and they of
course dance and there's like this haze on it
It's like kind of like a sepia tone haze. It's
really weird. It's it's for a lot of this movie.
There's this like haze on it and They finish
their dance they barely leave the dance floor
and then they start talking shit about like the
other guests Exactly what I would want to do
with my partner, you know, just kind of like
oh These people are horrid. Like, I haven't found
somebody that's caught my eye like you. You are
the only one I see. Some of these guests, they're
disgusting. They're gross. That kind of stuff.
Just absolutely talking shit right next to the
dance floor. They're barely off it. People could
probably hear them. And then he says, can I give
you a kiss? And she's like, oh, you can't give
me a kiss. Not in front of public. And he goes,
no, like your hand. And she goes, oh, yes, of
course. And like raises her hand. And he kinda
like French kisses her hand. It's really awkward
how much time he spends kissing her hand. So
it's midnight, almost, and she's there for a
dance, a bit of a chat, kiss on the hand, and
then she runs off through the door. The prince
runs after her, of course, and Catherine also
sends her daughters home. She wants them to beat
Cinderella home so that they can shut the doors
and leave her outside so that she can be taught
a lesson. And so they run off, they go do their
thing. The prince catches Cinderella right at
like this foggy forest entrance kind of thing.
Her car is nowhere to be seen because, probably
because they ran out of budget, but mostly because
it's past midnight. So everything's changing
back. And the prince is able to catch her and
makes her promise that she will come find him.
And she does, and she means it. they share a
real kiss and then she runs off through the fog
disappears into the fog then comes back out the
fog on the other side we're supposed to think
like almost at home and she's back outside in
her servants gear like she's not in her dress
anymore but the prince does find a glass slipper
which looks kind of plastic not really glass
but whatever I mean okay The doors are locked
when she makes it back and the daughters are
laughing up and the top second floor with the
window open and They drop a bucket of water on
her. We assume it's a bucket of water We don't
really know it could be a bedpan kind of thing
so yeah, she's now covered in wetness and She's
locked out and we know a punishment is coming.
All right friends. We're about at the end of
where the story is familiar, for the most part.
I mean, there's still a little bit on the other
side, but we're pretty caught up with the Cinderella
we know and love. We're gonna take a quick break,
and we'll come back with the revenge part of
Cinderella's revenge. Thank you guys for sticking
with us. The Game for a Movie podcast, we're
talking Cinderella's Revenge, the first of many
episodes of Spoopy Month. She got locked out.
She's about to get tormented by her sisters and
her stepmother. It's the next day. And Rachel
is trying to get it on with Bennett the Stablehand.
He is making a move and it seems like they've
done this before. And he is caught by Josephine.
Josephine is trying to find Bennett anyway. because
he needs to bring his whip from the stable over
to the stepmother is what he was told to do.
Well, then we get a scene where the stepsisters
Bennett and Cinderella are all in the barn. Cinderella
is like bent over a log tied up when they remove
part of her clothes on her back. And then Bennett
is asked to whip her. And so they're just all
enjoying the fact that Bennett is just absolutely
going to town whipping her like 90 lashes is
what's supposed to be Not good. We get like six
or seven whips before it goes back to normal
everyday life. She is cleaning again and All
of them are hanging out in this common room Their
piece is interrupted by the princess footmen.
They have been coming to look for the ladies
of the kingdom And they are going to try to see
if this shoe fits on anybody before they come
in The stepsisters tie up and gag cinderella
a room over pretty much. You can hear her in
this room They just ignore it pretty much, but
you can hear her. She's just like struggling
And the footman is trying to slip her on rachel.
Um Wouldn't you know it doesn't fit and She's
just like, I've got this. I'm going to make it
fit. And basically she shoves her whole foot
in there. It doesn't fit. It's not working. Footman
is kind of exhausted at this point, trying to
get it. He asked for a cup of water. And so the
butler of Katherine takes the footman into the
other room. And this is when Josephine tries
to start putting the slipper on and it's not
going to fit either. But. Katherine is going
to have one of these two girls marry the prince
it's going to happen so she's going to make sure
that foot fits and she sees a knife and She tells
Josephine if she wants to marry the prince. She's
going to cut off her toe She doesn't just say
also that she's gonna cut off her toe. She says
that when you're queen You don't need to walk
anywhere. You'll be fine. So it doesn't matter
that your toe is gone the footman was in the
other room when this happened and Josephine Goes
and starts cutting off her toe. I want to know
how this shoe didn't fit I Know that sounds very
weird but Josephine cut off like a middle toe
and So I guess it means like width wise it didn't
fit so they can like scrunch in But that seems
weird to me because like your bone still is kind
of there on the like Actual sole of the foot
I don't know It doesn't feel like it would fit
with wise if it was length and you cut off the
big toe that makes sense that that Makes sense
to me, but she cuts off like a middle toe and
I don't understand how that's supposed to help
and So she's sitting there with her foot bleeding
in this glass slipper and the footman comes in
and is just like, what are you doing? This is
obviously not fitting. Why did you cut off your
toe? I see all this blood. This is not okay.
So he takes the shoe, assumes there's nobody
left. He starts wiping out the shoe of the blood
and leaves. Again, you can hear Cinderella screaming
through the gag in this room, but all of them
have just decided, eh, we're gonna ignore it.
We don't care. We're not worried about this person
screaming. Well after the footmen have left Katherine
decides this is the time to go throw it into
Cinderella's face She's a servant for life. She
is not a lady. She's not going to be the queen
She's not going to marry the prince and then
she also shows if you were a lady you would have
gems like these It's so strange to me because
like I don't know for me. I figured out I Also
knew ahead of time I guess because I saw the
movie or like I saw that part I feel like the
Persian gems would be a dead giveaway that she
was the one that stole the gems, you know, like
I She was told her father was killed for stealing
jewels from the king You haven't shown like these
gems at all. She doesn't have them on her body
regularly They're not just like there she shows
it to her for what we're seeing the first time
that day So she's just like throwing it in her
face. I don't know. It's very strange So Cinderella
is beside herself. She's so heartbroken. She's
so done and she prays again to her fairy godmother
who once again Tries to jump scare Cinderella
just cuz she wants to she kind of is like You
know, I could help you. I Think they should suffer
too. Why should you be the only one who suffers?
Why? Cinderella's revenge how sweet it would
be that's an exact quote and it's also You know,
Cinderella's revenge, uh, roll credits. So the
fairy godmother is just kind of like egging her
on to get this revenge. Um, Cinderella's dealing
with the morality of it. She doesn't know how
she could live with it. And this is when the
fairy godmother pulls out the skull mask and
she says, you can hide your face from yourself.
Um, you don't have to see yourself doing these
things you can totally live with yourself because
this is another person that's doing it and they
also look out the window and they see Bennett
who is drunkenly stumbling towards the woods
and so the fairies just like perfect like you
can start with Bennett you can get your revenge
on him he's such a piece of shit if he could
he probably would take your virginity and take
advantage of you so the fairy godmother is like
pushing her hard to like get her to get this
revenge and cinderella is just like why do you
care what what does this matter and her fairy
godmother says i'm tired of seeing the bad guys
win i want you to have your life i want you to
marry your prince i want you to invest in apple
and cinderella's like invest in apples why would
i do that and fairy godmother of course never
mind dear that kind of stuff So Cinderella picks
up the mask and it starts turning purple and
it has like this glow to it, you know So she's
kind of like, okay, maybe I do this So Bennett
as we were said is drunk in the woods and he
is being followed by Cinderella he hears a twig
snap behind him, but he keeps like kind of walking
off he just now has his knife out a little more
and Then he like full -on sees skull mask in
front of him It's just kind of like what the
fuck is that and then kind of like wanders the
opposite way when he wanders the opposite way
Cinderella is there and has a fire poker and
starts like beating him with it Just boom boom
boom boom and like this is good. I mean, she's
not gonna kill him She's just going to get her
revenge, right? Well, he gets the upper hand
on her he's able to grab the fire poker like
throw it to the side and then Throw her to the
ground And also takes the mask off and realizes
Cinderella and he's like, oh this is gonna be
great. I'm going to not only like I'm not only
gonna have my way with you I'm also going to
blame you so you get punished because nobody's
going to believe I attacked you out of nowhere
Nobody's gonna believe that which is kind of
true because she did just attack him out of nowhere
This pisses her off she like grabs his arm and
breaks it like just full -on just and he's able
he grabs like her hair and like pull some of
it so he has like a lock of hair in her hand
in his hand but she's able to grab the fire poker
from the ground and slices across his gut letting
his organs spill out so yeah Bennett's dead she
puts her mask back to her face almost didn't
point put it on starts glowing and it starts
whispering at her like just Like that kind of
stuff it's not anything that's legible or like
you can hear it or anything like that Josephine
on one foot because she doesn't have a toe Has
her foot resting and Rachel has made a cake for
her and also is going to pour her some wine And
this is actually like a nice moment between these
two. These two sisters do care about each other.
It's a little like, you know, sisterly love and
stuff like that sometimes, but they do actually
care about each other. Rachel did not like that
Josephine cut her toe off. She felt bad for her,
but she knows how it is with her mother and everything.
So Rachel kind of tries to take care of Josephine,
makes her cake because she knows Josephine likes
cake, and also is pouring her a glass of wine.
So they have a celebration that Cinderella's
days are numbered like it's it's coming to the
end they think and Rachel then all of a sudden
sees something outside and she's kind of like
I saw something and you know Josephine's trying
to talk her down and just like come on let's
just have some of this cake and she accidentally
drops the cake as Josephine points out let's
not waste this cake it fell on its bottom the
bottom is the only thing only thing touching
the ground why don't we eat the top eat from
the top so they climb on the floor and they start
eating it Then Katherine comes in and is looking
for the girls and like they know this looks bad
that they're eating cake off the floor so Josephine
runs off because she can walk even though she's
missing a toe and Rachel is just like hiding
under the table like she just kind of hides under
the table there and Katherine doesn't see her
she walks into the other room and As Rachel's
getting up. She looks outside and she sees the
skull mask and it's looking straight at her And
then it kind of just runs off. Well, Rachel grabs
a knife from the table and she goes outside.
And she ends up in this like field of tall grass
she can only kind of see. And then as she's looking
down the road, she sees the skull creature. And
the skull creature is able to disarm Rachel with
a knife, tried to like get get it gone. And then
Cinderella grabs the knife. But Rachel tries
to fight back at this point. She bites Cinderella's
hand and Cinderella like drops a knife. She also
kind of reveals that Cinderella But this makes
Cinderella even angrier so she like grabs and
like pokes her with their thumbs in her eyes
and it does like that squishing noise and everything
like that is able to throw her to the ground
and then Cinderella is able to grab the knife
from the ground and slit Rachel's throat Rachel
gone. We got Bennett gone. We got Rachel gone.
We got Cinderella's dad gone Sun rises and we
see Cinderella she's waking up in bed and then
she sees that her hands are covered in blood
and She like goes to the mirror and she kind
of smiles at the mirror, you know, it's not necessarily
the mask That's the only thing that's enjoying
this like she's kind of liking it, too Josephine
is looking for Rachel can't find her anywhere
trying to wake her up because it's her day to
get waxed is what she was saying and she goes
to Rachel's room and she starts screaming and
Katherine comes in like what is it dear what
is it what is it what's going on and she goes
look Rachel's eyeballs are on her pillow and
Josephine is freaking out but she also kind of
thinks that it's a prank that Rachel is pulling
on her so she kind of goes looking for her she
finds the field and she's walking through the
garden and sitting on a bench is Rachel She gets
to her and turns her around and of course, it's
her eyeless corpse like no eyes. It's her corpse
She's done this sets off a chain of reactions
so Katherine She seems cold at this point, but
it's really just like she's trying to appear
ladylike and that kind of thing she leaves the
house that morning and Josephine is trying to
figure out why and basically Katherine's like
we need a man of the house like we We want your
virginity to stay intact. She does say that.
But we also need somebody that's going to protect
us because if people find out that these women
can't protect themselves, they're going to be
viewed as commoners. They're going to be viewed
as lowest of the low. And they're also going
to be viewed as like savages. Cinderella, after
wiping her hands and everything like that, she
goes into her dresser and she finds the other
slipper. The other slipper has also Somehow stayed
around and survived It's very strange to me and
Cinderella overall like when everything else
changes back. The only thing that doesn't is
these slippers I Don't know why that was a thing
that we kept through the fairy tale and everything
like that, but it is I guess I don't know This
is also where I saw it and said it looks even
more plastic. Like it does look plastic. I think
this shoe is plastic She calls to her fairy godmother
again who once again tries to appear behind her
and she complains to the fairy godmother that
there is a darkness inside her and that this
mask is bringing out the worst in her and she
doesn't want to do this anymore because she doesn't
want this darkness to keep going and basically
the fairy godmother is like It's too late now.
You've already killed two people the fingers
are going to be pointed at you whether it's true
or not in their mind You are the one that did
this they are going to do something to you Katherine
is walking about town and she happens upon a
shop and windows in the shop and There's Hogan
and Hogan is having sex with a really random
lady. I don't know who this is. She's never explained
He also has tattoos Like color ink tattoos. This
is definitely not something I expected from this
time period I'm not a historian, but I don't
think those should be there Maybe I'm wrong,
but I don't think those should be there depending
on what time period this is supposed to be He's
having sex with this girl and like he doesn't
really stop even though Katherine comes in but
then after a second or two he like stops and
Because it's Katherine it's all looked at as
good like she the random lady just walks away
and We're fine Hogan mentions her legs Catherine's
legs so we know they kind of have a little bit
of a history and Then it goes back to the fairy
godmother talking with Cinderella. Apparently
Hogan is a mercenary So he's coming to the house
he's going to be the one probably paid to try
to figure out what's going on with these deaths.
They only know about Rachel's death, by the way.
They do not know about Bennett's at this point.
They just know about Rachel's. So Cinderella
is dealing with like the ramifications she's
feeling. She's feeling guilt. She's feeling moral
problems, that kind of stuff. And Hogan is outside
examining Rachel's body. And he's like, this
is a deep cut. It definitely was a man that killed
them. And Catherine's just like, duh, it's not
a woman. A woman wouldn't do this. A woman doesn't
murder. So they're suspecting it's a man That
buys Cinderella at least a little bit of time
to kind of get over the moral quandary. She's
having Katherine then is trying to talk with
Josephine trying to get her to like basically
Get ready to be the winner of the family So she's
like talking to her and like again She's she's
pretty cold about this and this is where we learn
like she's ladylike and that kind of stuff trying
to hold it together But she's also like talking
to Josephine about like you need to be strong
Rachel would want this You are the breadwinner
Because you are going to marry the prince you're
the last shot You have to be the one that marries
the prince and Josephine kind of like takes that
as okay. Great. Yeah. Yeah I'm going to marry
the prince and everything like that She also
explains to Josephine that Rachel was definitely
killed by a man and Josephine goes it might have
been Bennett because Bennett was definitely trying
to like have his way with Rachel the other night
so it definitely could have been when she went
to the ball she made him angry and now he just
like killed her because he was jealous so perfect
they're gonna try to find Bennett Hogan is sent
to find Bennett and he does that immediately
like right away finds him in the forest dead
he reports to Katherine that he found Bennett
and that you need to come find him with Hogan.
So Hogan and Katherine leave the house and Josephine
is alone in the house. They also have locked
and bolted all the doors and windows and the
only way to get in is Katherine's key. Well,
Cinderella has gotten over her moral quandary.
She puts on the mask again. It's time to kill.
Josephine pours herself a glass of wine and she
also grabbed her mother's chocolate truffles,
which she was told not to do, but she did. and
then she also when she pulled out the wine she
pulled out the corkscrew and the wine top and
she puts the corkscrew like under her nightgown
maybe it's protection because like they're looking
for Bennett and everything like that maybe that's
it it didn't really make sense that she put it
under a nightgown but she did she starts hearing
a noise and she starts going and walking towards
the stairs and that's where she sees this like
Pinocchio puppet on the stairs I think there's
like a shared universe between Pinocchio killers
kind of thing I don't know it's kind of a little
easter egg I feel like um and as she turns around
Cinderella pops out and hits her twice and Josephine
goes into Cinderella's room and hides under her
bed uh Cinderella runs in is kind of like scanning
the room looking for her but knows there's only
one real spot for her to be so she reaches under
the bed grabs Josephine by the hair and pulls
her out well Josephine remember she had the corkscrew
grabs it and goes why don't we uncork this bottle
and then just like jabs it into Cinderella in
her side catches Cinderella completely off guard
and then Josephine's able to jump her and pin
her down and she's like choking her out and she's
able to figure out at this point that it's Cinderella
and So like she's just kind of oh great I get
to kill you myself then we don't have to worry
about this anymore since you've killed Rachel
and maybe others so Let me just finish this well
remember Cinderella was looking earlier at her
glass slipper so she's able to grab that glass
slipper and stab Josephine in the head and Like
through the ear into the brain Dead Josephine
gone While Josephine was being murdered Hogan
and Katherine are looking at Bennett's dead body.
They know he didn't do it But if you remember
a certain detail about Bennett Bennett has a
lock of Cinderella's hair that smells like lavender,
which smells like Cinderella in his hand Katherine's
able to find that and then sniffs and goes it's
lavender Cinderella and then they go back to
the house and there's Josephine she's pinned
like a turkey she's dead but she's like pinned
together like a turkey on a table on the kitchen
table Hogan is now offered double the money to
catch her but Katherine wants to be the one that
does the damage to her so Hogan pulls out like
his pistol he also has like a hunting knife that
he has on his side and Katherine goes to her
room to grab the old rifle she has Hogan goes
to Cinderella's room and He's like looking around
Cinderella's able to get the jump on him and
smash him over the head with something But he's
able to get a shot off with his pistol and shoots
her kind of like in the back where she falls
over She's now like Facing up. She has the skull
mask up. She's maybe bleeding she was shot in
the shoulder and Basically Hogan starts monologuing.
He sees the mask and grabs it and goes, oh Where
did you get this? I used this to kill your father
I was hired by Katherine to kill your father
while wearing this, you know, like full -on evil
monologue She knows all the details Katherine
planned his death Hogan was the one that killed
him. So now It's not looking good for Cinderella
because she's on the ground. She's in pain And
so Hogan's kind of creepy. I don't know if you
know that or not, but Hogan's kind of creepy.
He did make a pass at Josephine and then obviously
he made the comment about Catherine's legs and
stuff like that, you know, that kind of stuff.
So he starts getting like a little creepy on
her and removes her shirt. but under the shirt
is a bulletproof vest something he's never seen
before and Turns out the fairy godmother was
able to get it for her My fairy godmother knows
how to dress a lady for the occasion she says
then she grabs his hunting knife from his belt
and Repeatedly stabs him and just like this is
for my father Like over and over and over again,
he's overkill So then she runs off Katherine
finds Hogan dead and starts screaming for Cinderella
again. Cinderella has the mask in her hand and
she considers putting it back on, but then she
kind of like coyly smiles and decides she doesn't
need it. She doesn't need this mask anymore.
Like this is, this is her kill. She's getting
revenge on her stepmother. Cinderella's revenge
on her stepmother. Catherine goes to her room
and finds that the jewels are gone. And just
so happens, Cinderella was waiting for her. They
get into a fight and they're like trading blows
one by one. So like originally Katherine turns
shoots at her misses she's trying to reload but
Cinderella's able to like knock the gun away
and then just like hit her and then Katherine
hits her and knocks her down, but she's closer
to the gun. So she pulls the gun and Tries to
shoot her and of course, it doesn't work But
Cinderella is not going to be stopped She pulls
out the jewels that Katherine had stolen and
She like jabs them down her throat and like holds
them so that it can like scratch her mouth scratch
her throat and that kind of stuff She's bleeding
out the mouth Cinderella kind of assumes that's
gonna do it So she kind of like lets up but Katherine's
able to get around it and she grabs a knife and
she starts chasing after Cinderella Including
she stabs her in the back like again in the shoulder
probably about the same spot. She was shot except
for like This is a knife instead of a bullet.
So Cinderella's like she's hurt, but she's running
outside where she thinks she has the advantage.
And where does she run to? She runs to where
they play croquet. And when Cinderella gets there,
almost she's hit in the back of the head with
a frying pan knocked to the ground. And so she's
down. Catherine has the high ground with the
frying pan but she grabs a croquet mallet and
breaks Catherine's legs like one fell swoop just
knocks her to the ground and so Catherine is
down she's screaming but she's like trying to
now like appeal to Cinderella's humanity and
she just kind of is like you wouldn't do this
to your mother would you and Cinderella goes
stepmother and then goes to town just swinging
at her. Just making her a bloody pulp of a mess.
Just... We see like her head's just a bloody
pulp too before it ends. And then it just ends.
And it's a new day. There's a rainbow. There's
bunnies. There's all the good things in the world.
Cinderella, she's in her bed. She wakes up to
the bright light. She looks at her hands. There's
no blood on her hands. She looks at her clothes.
No blood on her clothes So the footman comes
in is just like oh my god, Cinderella. You're
okay It it looks like because you've been locked
in your room You were you were spared but everybody
else on the grounds is dead somebody somebody
killed everybody the chief inspector is here
and they are going to find out who committed
these murders and Cinderella kind of has like
a like a worried look and just kind of is like
Uh -oh, okay, and she's also wondering like how
she got there She doesn't know how she got there
the footman's just like you've been locked in
your room like I don't know What else has happened?
You've been locked in your room that kind of
thing So Cinderella's kind of like okay. What
happened? How did I get here? And what is what
does the chief inspector know and so the footman
tells the chief inspector? This is the maid.
This is the servant Cinderella She was locked
in her room couldn't have done this and the chief
inspector turns around and it's the fairy godmother
and The fairy godmother says oh this guy Hogan
he was coming to steal jewels. He's a mercenary
It looks like he got everybody but somebody must
have fought back and got him So everybody's dead
looks like Hogan got his jewels that he had We're
good. This one's neatly wrapped up So Cinderella's
off scot -free. She goes to the prince. He puts
the slipper on they get married She gets a tiara
that has the Persian gems embedded in them And
for some reason they feel the need to have this
sex scene at the end It's very strange. So they
like just got married. They're in their bed And
she like throws him to the the bed and like slaps
him It's like okay. Where's this dominant woman
coming from like what is this and they get naked
they have sex and Yeah, then it's announced that
they are the king and queen After like the next
day or something like that. They're dressed They're
standing on the castle and everything and they're
announced to the kingdom the new king and queen
congratulations And then for some random reason
there's a random explosion that sends us to the
credits. I Don't know why but for whatever reason
there's a random explosion that happens okay
whatever i don't really care i mean it was it's
fine it's dumb but it's fine uh so yeah that's
cinderella's revenge the first of the spoopy
season movies so um is this a good movie no no
it's not it is definitely not i mean it was Fairly
predictable I won't say completely but fairly
predictable and I mean part of that goes with
it's Cinderella You got to tell the story of
Cinderella before you tell the revenge part of
Cinderella I Thought it was fun like it's stupid
fun for sure I'm not going out of my way to go
watch it again anytime soon, but I thought I
had a good time with it and I think it could
have been a lot worse You got exactly what it
was on the on the tin like it's Cinderella's
revenge Are you expecting Shakespeare? Are you
expecting? No, you're expecting Cinderella and
you're expecting revenge So a lot of people probably
could watch this and have a completely different
rating than me for me. It was dumb fun I enjoyed
Most of it. I think there was definitely some
parts like that was a little weird I Wish they
would have delved a little more into the mask.
It was very strange that The mask was whispering
to her and was glowing purple and there was no
like further dive into it like was this a I don't
know like a Mask that makes you do your deepest
darkest Fantasies, you know like that kind of
stuff. That's the kind of thing I was I was hoping
for a little more of But they did kind of deal
with that with the moral quandary like she's
feeling that she's got a darkness inside her
and stuff like that But I mean You know, it was
just boohoo. Let me cry a little bit. That's
really what that was solved by So I do wish they
would have delved a little further into the mask
stuff you can definitely tell this movie was
made on a budget and That's fine. I can get past
that in certain aspects. I mean, there's definitely
some stuff that probably could have been better
when the fairy godmother first reveals her wand
there's like a blue glow that was just like a
I don't know. It looked like it was made in Microsoft
Paint. It does not look like it was done by a
CGI studio that's ever done any CGI stuff before.
Part of me kind of wants to know why the Fairy
Godmother was so, like, gung -ho on death and
destruction and that kind of thing, but part
of me also was like, this was your best character,
so I don't really care enough to actually dive
into that. The sisters were annoying as they're
supposed to be. The prince was... Prince he was
just kind of there Cinderella was fine There's
some things that she did that would kind of like
okay, yeah But you know the jokes definitely
didn't hit on some of them The fact that the
fairy godmother keeps bringing something up from
the path or from the future and then just goes
Oh, never mind that kind of thing didn't really
land I did, however, like the mother stepmother
thing. I did like that. I actually think that
was done pretty well for the most part. So I
was I was all on board for that. I mean, I'm
going to I'm going to dive into cinematography,
I guess. But the cinematography wasn't great.
Cinematography wasn't great. Just losing people
randomly from the party. That was really strange.
I didn't care for that, but that was fine. I
don't know. Again, it's it's just this movie
was definitely done on a budget. And that's fine
for the most part, because you can get away with
that, especially if you make something fun and
that kind of thing. I didn't hate this. I did
not hate this. I probably am not going to watch
it again. I'm not in any hustle to do that. But
overall, I think this movie could have been a
lot worse, especially seen. Like where the numbers
were that it's 35 % on Rotten Tomatoes. It only
has 50 ratings and only really 15 reviews so
I Thought it was fun. I thought it had some good
scenes The gore was actually pretty solid for
this. I actually did enjoy the gore on this I
thought they did a pretty good job with that
Especially things like the beheading and the
toe cutting off scene. Those were pretty well
done I think the toe looked a little fake and
the blood was very red but for the most part
you did feel a little bit of like the squelching
and the like those kind of things like the The
feel of the gore kind of thing If I have to give
this a review out of five, let's see Like I said,
I enjoyed it. I'm not going back anytime soon,
but I would give it like a I'd give it a two
out of five. Yeah two out of five I want to give
something different. I'm not giving a glass slippers.
That's for damn sure two out of five Fire poker
death scenes. Yeah, fine. I don't know two out
of five. Yeah, I that sounds right I guess but
yeah, so That's Cinderella's revenge the first
