CGiii Comment

A thoroughly painful experience.

The noise that these creatures make is akin to nails being dragged down a blackboard...oooh it makes your blood run cold.

If the intention was to annoy/irritate, the director succeeded.

Inspired by the fairy tales of Oscar Wilde, The Story of the Red Rose follows Sirah, an intersex creature set apart from her peers because her voice is hauntingly different, on a quest for a red rose in a world where one has never existed.
