Similar to Beauty and the Beast
A twist on the morality tale of forbidden love between the beautiful Belle and the feared Beast. As the villagers are being brutally murdered and the Beast is hunted down as the one responsible for the mayhem, Belle and Beast team up to defeat the real killer; the power-hungry witch's malevolent troll.

I feel almost guilty adding to the pile with how low it already is. Estella Warren can usually be counted on to do a watchable job. I mean she usually isn't in very good movies, but she always does a competent enough job in what movies she is in, no matter how bad they are. But this movie suffers from a script that needed to be rewritten and never was, and a director that doesn't know how get what he wants from actors and, in the case of Warren, probably actively stunts their ability to even preform with mediocrity. But it doesn't stop there, the sets and the costumes and the effects are... well... the walls on Monty Python's sets moved and they still looked better than this. Really I'm kind of shocked it has more than one star, it seems to be universally panned, but not without reason. It doesn't even meet the so bad it's good category of film.
