The first trailer for the new body horror movie, The Ugly Stepsister, has been released. This film offers a dark twist on the classic Cinderella story. It features extreme themes like blood, gore, and cosmetic surgery. The movie is written and directed by Emilie Blichfeldt from Norway. It stars Lea Myren as Elvira, the ugly stepsister. Elvira desperately wants to be more beautiful than her stepsibling and to win the love of the prince. The trailer opens with a haunting question, asking viewers if they've ever felt inferior or unloved. It shows Elvira facing cruel treatment from her family, such as being humiliated in public. She becomes determined to change how others see her, even if it means undergoing violent surgeries. The Ugly Stepsister premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January. During a screening, one audience member reportedly vomited due to the graphic content. Despite this, critics have praised the film, and it currently holds a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie is set to release in US theaters on April 18 and in the UK on April 25. It will also be available for streaming on Shudder later this year.
