Rumpelstiltskin

About This Movie

Rumplestiltskin (2025) dives deep into horror territory with a unique twist on the classic tale. The atmosphere is tense, almost oppressive, as the couple prepares for their baby. The sewing machine and yarn basket are unsettling symbols of impending doom, not comfort. I mean, the husband’s descent into madness is chilling, especially when he dons that mask. Practical effects really shine here - the transformation scenes are grotesquely fascinating. It’s a slow burn, the pacing builds dread rather than rushes into scares. Themes of possession and creation swirl around, making you think about what it means to bring life into this world. It's not your typical horror flick, that's for sure.

Interesting take on classic fairy tale · Strong practical effects · Atmospheric tension throughout
