Why it’s HorroRated
The Ugly Stepsister is the horror film that the Cinderella story always contained. Emilie Blichfeldt's debut uses body horror to externalize the violence of being the wrong girl in a story with only one prize and the Norwegian setting gives the fairy tale logic a cultural specificity that makes it feel newly urgent. A debut that announces a significant career.
Synopsis
