UK PREMIERE - Once Upon a Time… the Disney princesses now get in on the horror legend act and here’s the first of a spine-chilling twist on a familiar fairy tale. Simple yet beautiful handmaid Cinderella wishes for love and happiness, but she finds herself ill-treated and abused daily by her evil stepsisters and stepmother, unable to escape their cruel clutches. Until she summons her fairy godmother from an ancient flesh-bound book, who can grant Cinderella her greatest wish: ultimate revenge. Now, with bloodlust, Cinderella goes to the ball to massacre those who have done her wrong before the hour strikes midnight.
