Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Death and Porridge teaser trailer puts a horrific twist on classic tale – Exclusive!

Putting a horrific twist on popular children’s stories is all the rage these days. Earlier this year, we got Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (read our review HERE), and the filmmakers behind that movie are planning to not only make a sequel, but to also build a cinematic universe that will include horror versions of Bambi and Peter Pan (Bambi: The Reckoning and Peter Pan: Neverland Nightmare), among others. Meanwhile, Cinderella’s Curse, Cinderella’s Revenge, and Sleeping Beauty’s Massacre are coming down the line. Now writer/director Craig Rees has revealed that his horror thriller Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Death and Porridge is already in post-production – and we have the EXCLUSIVE first look at the teaser trailer in the embed above!

Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Death and Porridge has a short and simple synopsis: Never enter into someone’s house without permission.

But most of us already know the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. A young girl called Goldilocks wanders into a house in the woods, helps herself to some porridge, sits in the chairs, tries out the beds. Then the home’s inhabitants – a family of bears – get home and chase her away. We’ll just have to wait and see how exactly Death and Porridge turns it into a horror story.

Olha Solomakhina (To Happiness) stars as Goldilocks and is joined in the cast by Julian Amos (Get Millie Black), FlexSingh (Tough World), Jimmy Roberts (Once Upon a Time in Frickley), and newcomers Abigail Huxley and Susan Franks, with Robson Medler (In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats) as Daddy Bear, newcomer Jack Barry as Mama Bear, and special makeup effects artist Grace Darling Smith as Baby Bear.

What do you think of the “children’s tales become horror movies” trend in general, and what did you think of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Death and Porridge teaser trailer specifically? Will you be watching this movie when it’s released? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

The teaser trailer does contain imagery I wasn’t expecting when I started watching it, so it will be interesting to see how Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Death and Porridge turns out.
