“A twisted folk horror from the nightmare world of the Brothers Grimm.”
Official trailer for the new horror film, RUMPELSTILTSKIN!
The film will make its world premiere at Pigeon Shrine FrightFest in Glasglow this Saturday, March 8th!
With her life in jeopardy, a miller’s daughter strikes a series of dark deals with a twisted forest imp to spin straw into gold, ultimately promising her firstborn in return. When she becomes queen and a mother, the imp returns to claim her son, unless she can guess his name. On a desperate flight deep into the haunted forest, the queen happens upon the imp and learns his name — Rumpelstiltskin. Her child is saved, and Rumpelstiltskin is banished to his domain beneath the earth. But seven years later, the vengeful imp returns, luring her son into the forest. Will a mother’s love be enough to defeat an ancient evil, or will Rumpelstiltskin have his revenge?
