Rumpelstiltskin
When the fairy tale ends, the nightmare begins.
Directed by Mark Jones
Produced by Transnational Entertainment, Republic Pictures
A dark horror-fantasy that weaponizes a fairy tale archetype into a supernatural threat against a vulnerable widow and her child.
In the 1400s, Rumpelstiltskin is imprisoned inside a small jade figurine. In modern-day Los Angeles, the recently widowed wife of a police officer, with baby in tow, finds her way into a witch's shop and purchases a certain figurine, resulting in the cackling beast being freed and demanding possession of the baby.
