Christian Bisceglia and Ascanio Malgarini’s Italian tooth fairy chiller ‘The Haunting of Helena’ (AKA ‘Fairytale’) has scored a US release. The flick that has gained its new ‘haunting’ title, which in all honesty seems way too familiar, is set to be unleashed on VOD on 18 June and then landing in select US theatres on 21 June. Christian Bisceglia co-directs from a script he penned telling a twisted tale of the legendary Tooth Fairy and we’ve been promised that there is no sign of Dwayne Johnson parading around in tights anywhere. Harriet MacMasters-Green, Sabrina Jolie Perez, Jarreth J. Merz, Matt Patresi, Paolo Paoloni, Giuliano Montaldo and Susanna Cornacchia all star. Check out the full plot rundown plus artwork below.
“After a divorce, Sophia moves to the south of Italy with her daughter, Helena. Their new home, an apartment within an austere building of the fascist age, is a chance for them to start a new life. But inside an old storage room hides a mysterious closet and a buried secret. After the loss of Helena’s first baby tooth, a chilling obsession begins and an apparition haunts her sleep. Dreams become nightmares. Nightmares become reality. When Helena collects her classmate’s fallen teeth with an urgent hunger, it is clear that there is far more to their new home than can be seen. Sophia finds herself in a terrifying fight to save her child while maintaining her sanity. The Haunting of Helena will keep you at the edge of your seat as it slides in agony along the sharp blade of psychological terror.”
