FIONA (A Shrek Horror Film)

This actually makes sense. Shrek has always been an ogre, he can control his violent tendencies, but to Fiona its just an affliction that takes over her every night.

This actually makes so much sense. Her parents locked her away because she was a danger to everyone. She probably ate people. And the dragon was there to make sure no one got close. There's proof that ogres actually do eat people in this story and that what Shrek says in the beginning about eating parts of people isn't just a way to keep humans away from his swamp. He also has an eyeball in his martini in the beginning of the movie. I feel like Shrek was able to control himself but Fiona wasn't and as they were traveling back to Farquad's kingdom together, I feel like he taught her how to control it. Them eating rats instead of people and showing her what she can eat in place of human flesh. And that is exactly why people are so afraid of ogres. This would be so cool to have an actual full length movie of.

It's interesting how she went from "kiss me!" to "feed me!" as if her Ogre side slowly took completely over, leaving the last bits of Fiona gone by the time she reached the knight / Prince in the hallway.. This version was awesome and the actors were great and so believable in their roles. The set is awesome. Great job to the creators of this film. ☺

Lately we've been seeing tons of children's properties or at least properties that aren't horror-based being twisted into horror. There are some who I know struggle with this but a short film like this is what I will point to as a shining example of how it can be done. This short film is excellent both for those who know Shrek and those who don't. The build-up and atmosphere is incredibly eerie, the costume design and acting helps to sell everything and then there's of course the ogre makeup which is delightfully twisted but if you know Shrek or hell even love it? There's so much to this. From the moment you hear Fiona's theme when she shows up to the fact that these crazy people managed to make a creepy ogre makeup with the iconic Shrek ears actually look horrifying to that cover of All-Star at the end which really especially deserves praise. The fact you were able to take arguably one of the most delightfully corny rock songs of the 2000s and turn it into something genuinely haunting is incredible. This definitely wasn't made for the sake of just being edgy. This felt like a labor of love made by people who had a wicked idea and love for the source material and wanted to see this to completion.

I love the knight's acting, especially near the end. He looks at the eviscerated knight laid out before him, he hears the princess's desperate shrieks and begging, showing she's still there deep down, he sees her running toward him. I got the feel from his expression that, even if he still had his weapon, he wouldn't have had the heart to kill her, not to mention he probably feels partially at fault for failing his quest - failing her. So, he just sits there, and closes his eyes, waiting for the inevitable.

I never really thought about the horror application of Shrek lore, but damn this was amazing! Kudos to all the hard work in here!

The creepiest thing, is how it fits in the original universe and how much sense it makes. o_o

I love this it fits so perfectly, Shrek is a Fairytale and just like actual Fairytales you have the fun Disney (or in this case DreamWorks) version and then you got the Brothers Grimm/Original stories that are darker and more violent, so this version is like a darker realistic version of events

This makes more sense as a horror film than a Winnie-the-Pooh horror film

This is honestly one of the most unique horror shorts I've seen and this makes a lot of sense for the Shrek world.

I just learned about this yesterday and this makes so much sense on how she survived in the tower for so long. The details and everything was so amazing. I NEED A FULL MOVIE!!!

you can tell by her crys and screams that she doesnt want to become this demonic ogre and that she cant control it

To be honest, I'm more so impressed by the use of actual and real historical plate armors in this movie, unlike some few Hollywood medieval movies that don't bother to get that right.

As downright freaky this short film is, it does make sense, like a bajillion others have said. This could explain why she never starved, another reason to why her parents locked her away and why the prince’s always seemed to get IN, but never OUT! This could definitely be a solid, yet creepy and gruesome, way to explain some plotholes in the 1st Shrek movies’ lore

It's amazing, I always had the doubt how Fiona could have survived so many years locked in the castle.

The concept and the execution are great. This is terrifying and makes total sense in Shrek's lore. Keep making children's stories into horror, please

This canonically fits better than it should. In the shrek movies shreck saves fiona but in the 4th moive he doesnt and price charming is a no show... dude got ate

This is SO interesting! We can see in Shrek that he was hunted down by villagers ‘cause he was an ogre, but he didn’t have the “monster nature”, and is probably the only one who hasn’t. As for Fiona, she’s under a curse, to make her a “real” ogre makes total sense! I’d pay to see that, when Shrek’s true love kiss show her real nature

here's how i imagine a second part of this: shrek comes in during the night, fiona tries to attack him but he contains her and knock her out with ease since he's basically bigger and stronger, then he just carries fiona on his shoulder and walks away, ending the video

Imagine being cursed to turn into an ogre every night, being locked away for YEARS by your own parents and needing to eat your saviour's human flesh (even rotten) every night to survive, and all of this because of her father's choice and pact with the Fairy Godmother... poor Fiona 😢 amazing movie btw
