The Worst Film Ever
Admirable film.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
RumpelstiltskinThe argument for and against removing a boy's rumpelstiltskin is a gross one that should not be depicted in a movie.Fortunately, the rumpelstiltskin in this horror is a goblin that steals children, not the removal of access epidermis. Centuries ago, a demonic creature christened Rumpelstiltskin was forever encased inside of a bauble.Nowadays, Rumpelstiltskin's ornate prison finds itself on a dusty shelf of a store dedicated to the occult. One day, mom Shelley (Kim Johnston Ulrich) happens upon the curio shop and enters. Captivated by the object, she purchases it and takes it home.But when the creepy tchotchke is accidentally trashed, Rumpelstiltskin escapes and carries on his baby-napping ways, starting with Shelley's newborn.Inspired by the Grimm fairy tale, this low-budget parable's attempt at terror only results in laughable performances and a weak plot.Besides, if he's so into baby-napping, why doesn't Rumpelstiltskin just become an au pair?

This film is ridiculous on so many levels! I don't understand why they have to take every single fairy tale character, and make them a killer. Now, I realize that The Brothers Grimm sort of did that, but come on! You are afraid of a being that is half your size?!! Really?!! The whole film goes like this, "Oh no Rumplestiltskin is after my baby! What do we do? What do we do?" Here's an idea...move to Alaska! Jeez! I just don't understand why people are so afraid of midgets in horror movies. Yes they have powers, yes they are creepy, and yes they can be annoying, but come on! You want my advice. I will make this short. Beware of this film's stupidity!
A strange urge took possession over me and encouraged me to re-watch this epic piece of fairy-tale terror with an attitude. I can't help it, but I'm still having fun with this one. Liked it the first time, and I still do. It's from the director who brought us that other masterpiece of little people's horror, the original LEPRECHAUN. Believe it or not, both movies are just about on par with each other and equally enjoyable. If it's not clear already: Yes, we're talking B-movie tongue-in-cheek horror. But at least it was shot on real film and doesn't suffer from a cheap shot-on-video look (like a lot of B-movies from the late 90's do).RUMPELSTILSKIN is a nonsensical take on a Grimm fairy-tale gone bad. After being imprisoned for about 500 years in a little statue made out of stone (at the bottom of the ocean, no less), Rumpelstiltskin gets set free by a grieving, young mother, who just bought the statue in some antique-store. Now our little devilish fiend wants the soul of mommy's baby, to render himself immortal.While most mediocre horror efforts from the 90's made the mistake playing it serious when not up to the task, at least there was nonsense like RUMPELSTILTSKIN that has its idiotic heart at the right place. Main attraction is, without a doubt, Max Grodénchik as the titular little bastard, spewing one ridiculous one-liner after another. At one point he even quotes Col. Hannibal from THE A-TEAM by saying "I love it when a plan comes together", while driving an 8-wheeler and puffing on a cigar. And that's by far not his best one-liner. But who would have guessed a 15th century troll-demon would know who George Peppard is ?If the first encounter between Shelley Stewart (the young mother) and freshly unleashed Rumpelstiltskin doesn't win you over, then I'm afraid the rest of the movie might be lost on you too. When trying to protect her baby, Shelley - who appears to be so mild-hearted and very gentle at first - begins with kicking Rumpy in the balls, then suddenly pulls out a big knife and viciously shouts "When you take one more step, I'll rip your head off and shove it up your ass!" (and she said it like she meant it). She then proceeds cutting off one of his fingers, planting the knife in his forehead and even shoving a spike-shaped broomstick into his mouth. I mean, if that doesn't put a grin on your face, I'm not sure what will.The rest of the film is a ridiculously fun ride and the movie's pace even gets upped a bit by injecting that road-movie vibe, halfway through the film. To top it off, there's some fun make-up effects by Kevin Yagher (check out the man's resumé if you've never heard of him and you'll see he always delivers the goods).It's harmless fun, I tell you. But stay away from it if you feel like taking yourself too seriously.
Rumpelstiltskin is excellent for what it is, and that is a wonderful, cheesy horror movie. If you are a fan of the Leprechaun series, you will most assuredly like this. It has a great mixture of funny dialog and violent humor, and, unlike most films, the bad guy is obviously the only star. This is done by contrasting the boorish, uninteresting people of the film with our colorful, funny anti-hero. Of course, who watches a film like this for dialog or characters? We want to see the bad guy on the screen, doing what he does best. And Rumpelstiltskin does this this quickly, not wasting a lot of time developing other characters, whom we could care less about. However, the characters are certainly not underdeveloped either. You'll just have to see this film for yourself.
