Get ready for the new upcoming horror movie Cinderella, which will be released this weekend.
It is reported that the movie revolves around Cinderella’s stepsister.
A Gory Twist on a Classic
Variety reports that the new Cinderella, based on Cinderella’s Stepsister, is set to be released in theaters over the weekend and will be available to watch soon.
Variety details, “Combining comedy and horror, the film is a daring and unexpected take on the world-famous tale, seen through the eyes of Cinderella’s stepsister, Elvira.”
The report continued, “The gory film follows Elvira as she battles to compete with her insanely beautiful stepsister in a kingdom where beauty is a brutal business. She will go to any lengths to catch the prince’s eye.”
Director’s Vision
The film was released at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2023 and will be released on Hulu on May 2.
Le Maren stars in the film alongside Thea Sophie, Loch Ness, and Anne Dahl Torp.
Director Emily Blichfeldt said, “With this ‘beauty horror,’ I want to seduce the audience into a “girl-dreaming-of-marrying-the-prince-fairytale,” before revealing its true and raw insides.”
It’s time the ugly stepsister’s story is lifted from the shadows of Cinderella and cultivated as the iconic feminist narrative of the tyranny of beauty that it is.”
International Interest
Recently, Memento International reported the story of being involved in a project called The Ugly Stepsister;
Memento added, “It is highly contemporary in exploring what one is willing to do to meet society’s imposed beauty standards on women.
