These is film is a horrible mix-up between an old fairytale and modern horror movie. For a start the plot seems rather unconvincing and the effects and the actors are just as dreadful as you could expects for this type of movie.
The main character is very poorly played by Kim Ulrich Johnston, who by all means should have taken at least some acting lessons. Max Grodénchik, who seems to be an actor that even Ed Wood would have turned down if he applied for a role in any film, plays Rumpelstiltskin so poorly that it makes you cry. The effects almost convince you that this movie was made in the 70s instead of '96. I've seen far better effects in 50s movies, e.g. Santa Claus conquers the Martians' and I can't imagine that the special effects people at the set of Rumpelstiltskin' even convinced themselves that they were doing a decent job.
This movie is not suitable for viewing for anybody what so ever - man or freak.
