Fucked Up Fairy Tales round two concludes with a bang in Emilie Blichfeldt’s The Ugly Stepsister, a memorably nasty take on Cinderella. When her mother marries a wealthy landowner, young Elvira’s hopes of marrying the region’s handsome prince feel closer than ever. Unfortunately, she can’t measure up to the beauty of her effortlessly hot stepsister. How far will she go to catch the prince’s eye? Blichfeldt tackles fairy tale tropes and beauty standards in a movie that dares to ask “What if Coralie Fargeat made The Other Bennet Sister?”
It’s BACK! Fucked Up Fairy Tales returns with four new funny, freaky, artsy and occasionally disturbing takes on classic fairy tales and folklore from around the world. Lace up your corsets, grab your swords and maybe rethink that fad diet you’re so sure will turn the handsome prince’s head as we venture back into the (darker than usual) enchanted forest together.
