‘The Ugly Stepsister’ – Cinderella’s Stepsister Elvira Gets Her Own Horror Movie
In the wake of horror movie Cinderella’s Revenge hitting theaters over the weekend, Variety reports that a horror movie centered on Cinderella’s stepsister is also coming soon.
The feature debut of filmmaker Emilie Blichfeldt, the film is titled The Ugly Stepsister, and Variety reports that Memento International is kicking off sales in Cannes this May.
Variety details, “Combining comedy and horror, the film is a daring and unexpected take on the world-famous tale, seen through the eyes of the Cinderella’s stepsister, Elvira.
“The gory film follows Elvira as she battles to compete with her insanely beautiful stepsister in a kingdom where beauty is a brutal business. She will go to any lengths to catch the prince’s eye.”
Lea Myren stars alongside Thea Sofie Loch Naess and Ane Dahl Torp.
“With this ‘beauty horror’ I want to seduce the audience into a “girl-dreaming-of-marrying-the-prince-fairytale,” before revealing its true and raw insides,” said director Emilie Blichfeldt. “It’s time the ugly stepsister’s story is lifted from the shadows of Cinderella, and cultivated as the iconic feminist narrative of the tyranny of beauty that it is.”
“It is highly contemporary in its exploration of what one is willing to do to meet society’s imposed beauty standards on women. Emilie is finally giving a voice to the underdog in a very entertaining way, allowing audiences worldwide to connect with her,” added Memento.
