User Reviews
RetroHorrorLover – 7/10
“A wonderfully atmospheric slice of early 70s horror. Shelley Winters is delightfully unhinged as Auntie Roo, and the gothic mansion setting really amps up the creep factor. It's not perfect, but for fans of classic, slow-burn horror, it's a hidden gem.”
GhoulFriend – 5/10
“I appreciated the idea and the fairytale twist, but the pacing dragged a bit for me. The kids were somewhat annoying, and the scares were more psychological than visceral. It might work for some, but I wanted a bit more payoff.”
BloodyBaroness – 6/10
“There's a certain eerie charm to this one that I can't deny. Shelley Winters is the best part, bringing all her theatrical madness to the role. It feels more like a dark fairy tale than a straight-up horror, which is cool if you're into that vibe. Just don't expect gross-out scares.”
VHS_Voyager – 4/10
“I found this pretty tame and predictable. The plot is basically Hansel and Gretal but without the real threat. The ending felt rushed and unsatisfying. As a big fan of 70s horror, I wanted to like it more, but it just fell flat for me.”
