The Ugly Stepsister – TRAILER

Arriving in your mailbox is a trailer for The Ugly Stepsister, which can be likened to a blend of Bridgerton and The Substance, making it the newest addition to the growing collection of horror movies inspired by fairy tales.

Elvira (played by Lea Myren) has a single, overpowering desire: to capture the heart of her kingdom’s dashing prince and enjoy an eternal bliss. However, she finds herself overshadowed by her strikingly beautiful stepsister, Agnes (Thea Sofie – Loch Næss), who appears destined for the fairy-tale ending Elvira has yearned for. In a realm where beauty reigns supreme, Elvira will stop at nothing to attain what she seeks…

Classic fairy tales such as Cinderella are often depicted in a lighter, animated manner, but Emilie Blichfeldt’s movie, The Ugly Stepsister, is set to bring back the grim and grisly aspects of these stories. This film, inspired by Charles Perrault’s Cinderella, delves deep into the darker side of the classic tale, revealing the true extent of the suffering beauty can cause. Written and directed by Emilie Blichfeldt (in her feature-length directorial debut), The Ugly Stepsister features Lea Myren as the main character, with Thea Sofie Loch Næss from The Last Kingdom and Ane Dahl Torp from The Wave also starring.

The film will be hitting US cinemas on 18th April and UK cinemas on 25th April.
