Sleeping Beauty (II) (2014)
4/10
Movie on a string
3 July 2020
Decent watch, probably wouldn't watch it again, and can't recommend.

Wow, they did this on a shoestring budget. The monsters and effects were interesting, but clearly cheap (not bad, but cheap), even at the time. The zombies were a hair better, and yes, they added monsters and zombies to this.

This is basically if Maleficient (I'm sure that Disney has had the free-license laws re-written so that they own the movie rights to pieces of stories they lifted from free market fairy tales), or Tambria, actually attempted to rule the human kingdom while everyone slept, stuck in an eternal cycle.

The writing is probably what got this movie made in the first place, and its the best part of this. I fully recognize that they use character transformation, growth (at least in presentation) of the characters' morals, and very decent pacing of arrogance, adversity, advancement, on repeat, slowly building up to the climax.

The only one you might recognize in this is Jessica Van Dien (Greenhouse Academy), and she's pretty, but I don't know if I'd send man after man to their deaths for her. Sadly, it's a bad sign when one starts to consider the attractiveness of actors to the quality of a movie, and I can't say there is enough to convince anyone to watch this. It not even that it's a bad movie, its just not above the average when so many other movies are.
