Instead of the main character being the daughter of a sewing mill owner, she is a daughter and her maiden name was Miller. Technically, she is still the millers' daughter. The daughter and her first-born child are constantly under attack as the little man (Rumpelstiltskin) stalks them in attempt to steal the baby. The baby and it's mother find out from a witch that the only way to destroy the little man is to burn him with straw and fire, and call out his name three times. Throughout the movie, there are unrealistic scenes of Rumpelstiltskin driving motorcycles and trucks, and effortlessly killing innocent people with his bare hands. The character of Rumpelstiltskin looks as though he has the characteristics of someone who lived a long time ago. He wears layers of baggy clothes draped over his shoulders like that of a descendent of early civilization. Also, his speech indicates he has been around for centuries; he speaks alike the Old English language. Aside from the character names and the basic plot (his interest in the lives of very young children), the fairy tale and the horror movie have a lot that is unalike the other. .
While the Brothers Grimm described Rumpelstiltskin as a little man of trickery, he is fictionally portrayed as a homicidal, psychopathic creature in pursuit of murdering infants in the horror film. Within the fairy tale, the main focus is on the miller's daughter and how she constantly makes empty promises. At first, the miller promises the king that his daughter can spin straw into gold, which was totally untruthful. He carelessly sacrificed the life of his own daughter in attempt to gain an acquaintanceship with the king. Not only did he make an empty promise, but also he also basically sold his daughter for his own popularity. Also, the miller's daughter promises the little man that he can take her firstborn child. When the baby is born and the little man appears to claim the child, the miller's daughter offers him all of her riches instead.
