    As horror's limply grasp at "new" characters to turn into icons, here we find a rather appropriate fairytale character given the horror makeover. Rumpelstiltskin has always been a rather fucked up story. A small goblinl like geezer taking babies just doesn't sound like family ent...( read more)ertainment. This film is really 90's. It's the kind of cheesy nonsense you would expect from the creator of Leprechaun. It's all a tad more serious here. I guess wisecracking leprechauns and baby stealing goblins have to be handled differently. The film has some nice characters. A mother with a genuine investment in the horror of the story, a twat of a TV host who becomes something of a hero, and Rumpelstiltskin himself who is played with menacing glee. Other than that it isn't very impressive, but I did enjoy it.

    Definitely falls under the "so bad it's funny" category. Rumpelstiltskin is best watched with friends who love cheesy, awful horror movies and alcohol. As for the movie itself, it's obvious the guy who made Leprechaun passed on the sequel and made this instead...b...( read more)ecause they're the exact same movie! Only this one looks like it was made for way less money and features much worse acting (if you can believe it). I honestly couldn't believe how awful and hilarious some parts of this movie were. The story makes no sense and the dialogue is a joke. Only rent this if you enjoy retardedly bad horror/comedies.

    This movie use to scare the hell out of me when I was younger. I tried to never watch this movie when it was dark outside or before I was going to sleep because I always would think about Rumpelstiltskin lol. During the 90's when it came out, I think this was the only horror movi...( read more)e I would always dream about. Seriously Rumpelstiltskin use to freak me out. He look just like a little purple leprechaun and had powers and all lol I have it on VHS. It was a good movie though. When I was young I could never understand what the purpose was but when I watch it now I understand exactly what he was looking for and why. It all made sense.

    Do you remember how you felt after you watched the Leprechaun with Warwick Davis and "pre-nose job" Jennifer Aniston? Well, this movie fully recaptures that magic and then some. It may be the defining horror film of the last 12 years. Have a goat of a time!
