Following the viral (if not critical) success of Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey, Goldilocks And The Three Bears: Death And Porridge is about to become the next internet sensation.
A very brief, but admittedly intriguing teaser trailer was released earlier this month. It doesn’t offer much, but it has certainly caught our attention.
Take a look at the Goldilocks And The Three Bears: Death And Porridge trailer below.
The film’s synopsis reads simply: “Never enter into someone’s house without permission.”
In the trailer, a woman wearing a Goldilocks mask is wielding a gun while her partners, dressed appropriately as bears, wave an axe and… stir porridge?
There are multiple different variations of the original tale of Goldilocks. In one of them, Goldilocks isn’t a young and sprightly girl, but an older woman.
In the most popular version of the story, Goldilocks is a young girl who breaks into the home of a family of bears while they’re away. Goldilocks eats their porridge, breaks a chair and ultimately falls asleep in one of the beds, much to the amazement of the bears.
In this horrific retelling, it seems that Goldilocks and the bears are already on good terms and gang up on two hapless strangers in the woods.
Goldilocks And The Three Bears: Death And Porridge is only the latest film in what seems like an unstoppable craze to adapt old childhood tales into gory horror films.
In March, a new, gory Cinderella adaptation was announced. The film has been quietly filming in the UK and Variety had the scoop on some first-look images on Cinderella’s Curse, which promises to be fantastically gory.
Director Louisa Warren promised us “truly horrific deaths” in the hands of Cinderella.

In our 1-star review, we called Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey “irredeemable” and “laughable”. Rhys Frake-Waterfield’s film was filmed with a budget of less than $100,000 but made over $5 million during its theatrical run around the world. A sequel is already in the works.
Goldilocks And The Three Bears: Death And Porridge is written and directed by Craig Rees. The cast includes Olha Solomakhina, Julian Amos, Flex Singh, Jimmy Roberts, Abigail Huxley, Susan Franks, Robson Medler, Jack Barry and Grace Darling Smith.
The film doesn’t have a release date yet.
