A twisted version of the beloved fairy-tale, writer/director Andy Edwards (Punch) is bringing Rumpelstiltskin to horror fans at Pigeon Shrine FrightFest Glasgow this Saturday and we have an exclusive reveal of the trailer of this new horror spin on the story below!

Synopsis: Once upon a time, a greedy miller (Mark Cook) promises to marry off his beautiful daughter, Evaline (Hannah Baxter-Eve), to the King (Colin Malone). But things don’t quite go to plan when his lies are uncovered and the pair are about to be locked up in a tower forever.

So, they make a bold promise to the King, that Evalina will spin straw into gold using a spinning wheel… but that’s easier said than done and they realise that they’ve made a promise they can’t keep. That is until a mischievous masked creature (Joss Carter) appears from nowhere with the offer of help. But help comes with a cost…

When the woman fulfills the task, the King becomes seduced by greed and wants more gold. In an act of desperation, she pleads with the fiendish imp, and they make a deal… her firstborn child for more gold.

But everyone gets more than they bargained for when the Devil gets involved and all hell breaks loose.

Rumpelstiltskin has its world premiere as the closing film of Pigeon Shrine FrightFest Glasgow on March 8th, followed by a home release on April 7th from Miracle Media.
