The online world has just been treated to the debut trailer for the Norwegian horror flick The Ugly Stepsister. The film made its initial splash at the recent Sundance Film Festival.
The story centers on Elvira (Lea Myren), Cinderella’s cunning stepsister, who sets out to outshine her rival, slip into that iconic glass slipper, and win the heart of the dashing Prince Julian. Drawing its dark inspiration from the Brothers Grimm’s original tale, this isn’t your childhood fairy story.
First-time director Emily Bleekfeldt helms the project, steering it into chilling territory. Critics have embraced it warmly, awarding it a striking 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and a solid 71 out of 100 on Metacritic.
