When the fairy tale ends, the nightmare begins.

Horror

In the 1400's, Rumpelstiltskin is imprisoned inside a small jade figurine. In modern-day Los Angeles, the recently widowed wife of a police officer, with baby in tow, finds her way into a witch's shop and purchases a certain figurine, resulting in the cackling beast being freed and demanding possession of the baby.

VIBE

A bizarre, low-budget horror flick that leans into its fairy tale roots with a creepy, unsettling tone. It's a gory good time that feels like a forgotten gem from the 90s direct-to-video era.
