This is almost as bad as Cello; equally derivative, but slightly more involving and with much stronger imagery. I looked at the checklist of films that Cello cribs from and The Red Shoes also takes elements from every single one of those movies as well, except substitute music fo...( read more)
The Red Shoes uses every Asian Horror motif we've seen many times before. Most notably the young, attractive, professional female lead who's got a cheating husband and a daughter that goes freaky. Its plot is constructed around some 'thing' that connects the natural and supernatu...( read more)
A bunch of people cream themselves over a pair of shoes. Think a Brantanos advert crossed with Lord of the Rings. After the first half hour of me wondering if I should colour correct my TV (the shoes are pink, is the red because of blood? What?). I started enjoying it on its own ...( read more)
Two films fighting each other, either of which would have been better than this one. The result is far, far less than the sum of its parts.

48/100

Those red shoes sure look fantastic but it has a deadly curse...shame can't get a refund. It was an entertaining thiller to see whats coming after next when each women fight for the shoes. Horror gore stuff looked ok not bad but kind of hilarious. The acting was fine while story ...( read more)
