He brings a certain gravitas to every movie he’s in, even when the flick itself is only adequate. Trapped within a decrepit, run-down motel, the woman begins to piece together the horror she. ![]() The cast is able, but when veteran actor and Oscar nominee Bruce Davison shows up, the story really hits its stride. A woman awakens from a horrible nightmare. There’s also a good old-fashioned mystery when it comes to the curse, which is sure to please fans of historical adventure along the lines of The Awakening, the “Once Upon a Time” TV series, and Mother of Tears. While The Curse of Sleeping Beauty is more dark fantasy – think Jim Henson’s Labyrinth or Terry Gilliam’s The Brothers Grimm on a tight budget when it comes to the visuals – there are some horror elements nestled into the nooks and crannies of the creepy cinematic manse. The cast for the new Elfquest: The Audio Movie has been announced.
