Elvira battles against her gorgeous stepsister in a realm where beauty reigns supreme. She resorts to extreme measures to captivate the prince, amid a ruthless competition for physical perfection.

A film that places Cinderella's stepsister front and centre, The Ugly Stepsister draws stylistic comparisons to directors such as David Cronenberg and Julia Ducournau. The film received widespread recognition for its grotesquerie, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
