I just watched Tale of Tales.
My mind is a little blown. The movie is a collage of twisted fairy tales that are so gruesome, erotic, and violent, one would never imagine exposing a child to any part of them...
It is based on Pentamerone (The Tale of Tales, or Entertainment for Little Ones), a 17th century book of fairy tales by Giambattista Basile. His work was also behind a few of The Brothers Grimm's fairy tales..
I am starting to read his work... From what I have seen, this man's work takes disturbing children's literature to a level that I never imagined... Wow...

Researching the genre... It seems to be adult fantasy horror.
