The Ugly Stepsister
Dir: Emilie Blichfeldt, 2025, Norway/Denmark/Romania/Poland/Sweden, 1hr 49mins, Cert: 18, Extra Info Norwegian with English subtitles
Tue 13 May // 20:00
Tickets: £5
Once upon a time, in a land of corsets, carriages, and cosmetic surgery, came The Ugly Stepsister — a gloriously grotesque and darkly funny fairy tale that turns the Cinderella myth inside out.
Norwegian director Emilie Blichfeldt makes a splashy feature debut with this feminist body horror that trades glass slippers for scalpels, gleefully probing the monstrous lengths women are pushed to in pursuit of perfection.
Dripping with gothic atmosphere, surreal comedy, and squirm-inducing set pieces, this twisted fable takes aim at impossible beauty standards. Think Sofia Coppola by way of Cronenberg, with tapeworms, tiaras, and a prince who loves poetry.
Arriving fashionably late to our screen for just one night, The Ugly Stepsister is a wicked treat for fans of fairytales.
Entry requirements: 18+
