Review of The Curse of Sleeping Beauty

This is an Asylum film whose main goal is to sell DVDs by creating covers that look like hit films such as "The Huntsman..." The biggest problem with this film is that you expect something very much related to the fairy tale, i.e. a sequel and what you get is a modern day "B" horror film loosely connected to the aforesaid tale. Much of the plot details come late in the film. I will try to be kind.

Thomas (Ethan Peck) has dreams about a Sleeping Beauty/ Briar Rose (India Eisley). When he inherits his uncle's creepy estate, it becomes apparent he is part of a bloodline curse going back to the crusades although how things managed to come to Oregon (?) from Europe considering the nature of the curse was a plot hole never discussed. The film involves demons and the occult.

Thomas, as in "Thomas can you hear me" one of those ouch lines, gets help from realtor Linda (Natalie Hall) and paranormal investigator Richard (Bruce Davison). James Adam Lim is also utilized because they couldn't afford a hot Asian chick for the role.

This film was tough on the actors. None of them brought their "A" game and demonstrated they all made bad career choices.

Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity. India shows off a whole bunch of A cup cleavage.
