“Why are you trying to ruin my childhood?”
This post was written by Andy Chen.
A lot of YouTube comments seem to either love or hate the idea of there being a horror version of everyone’s beloved Shrek. While the original Shrek franchise was geared toward a younger audience, the actual concepts in the story would have been pretty terrifying if the movie wasn’t so lighthearted and computer animated.
The evil Lord Farquad, a grumpy ogre in a swamp, and the quest to save a cursed princess from a dragon-guarded castle—there’s so much material here that’s already dark. If the world and the characters were more grounded and portrayed realistically—it could be a scary movie. So that’s exactly what I decided to do.
Check out the trailer below.
