Critic Reviews for The Curse of Sleeping Beauty

All Critics (13) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (11)

It doesn't build up enough mythology to be a pure fantasy; it doesn't do enough with the original Brothers Grimm story to be a pure fairy tale; and there aren't enough scares or enough gore to be pure horror.

Roxana Hadadi
Punch Drunk Critics
The latest in a long line of horror films shamelessly ripping off the Brothers Grimm won't leave you believing in fairy tales.

Hollywood Reporter
Director Pearry Teo, who scripted with Josh Nadler, pushes the brooding atmospherics, entrapping us in so many dingy, dustily lit spaces that, like Thomas, we just want to escape.

Sleeping Beauty is a snoozefest.

Runs for less than ninety minutes, but you still might have trouble staying awake through it.

One Guy's Opinion
This is one sluggish curse that wouldn't wake even Sleeping Beauty.

We Got This Covered
This movie is just over 80 minutes, and it feels like (a) they're stretching to fill that much, since so much of what happens is redundant; and (b) that they didn't actually do a lot of takes, since so many of these conversations are stilted.

Movie Nation
Well, the brothers Grimm are credited in the opening titles for the story of Briar Rose, but were they still alive, they might have passed on that favor.

The film feels like a fairy tale as re-imagined by the staff of your local Hot Topic.

Aisle Seat
For viewers who are not into genre trappings, The Curse of Sleeping Beauty [...] is dull and silly beyond belief.

Simi Horwitz
Film Journal International
A fascinating film with eerie background music, a believable cast, and creepy atmosphere. This dark contemporary version of a Grimm fairy tale is very intense and not for kids.
