IFC Films and Shudder are proud to present THE UGLY STEPSISTER, a darkly entertaining fairy tale horror from writer and director Emilie Blichfeldt in her feature directorial debut. IFC Films and Shudder will release the film theatrically on April 18th (USA) & in UK Cinemas from 25th April.
The film gathered acclaim at its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival and at the Berlin International Film Festival.
A sinister twist on the classic Cinderella story, THE UGLY STEPSISTER follows Elvira (Lea Myren) as she prepares to earn the prince’s affection at any cost. In a kingdom where beauty is a brutal business, Elvira will compete with the beautiful and enchanting Agnes (Thea Sofie Loch Næss) to become the belle of the ball.
A biting satire and cinematically exhilarating directorial debut, THE UGLY STEPSISTER is a timely examination of body image and beauty standards, identifying Emilie Blichfeldt as one of the most exciting new international filmmaking voices.
