One of the very best horror movies of 2025 and a wicked (and well-deserved) Academy Award nominee for Best Makeup and Hairstyling at this year's Oscars. Presented in glorious 35mm!

A sinister twist on the classic Cinderella story, writer/director Emilie Blichfeldt's THE UGLY STEPSISTER follows Elvira as she prepares to earn the prince's affection at any cost. In a kingdom where beauty is a brutal business, Elvira will compete with the beautiful and enchanting Agnes to become the belle of the ball.

In Norwegian with English subtitles.

“One of the best horror films of the decade so far.” Drew Gregory, Autostraddle

Critic’s Pick! “Slyly funny and visually captivating, its scenes move with ease from gross to gorgeous, and from grotesque to magical.” Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times
