The Ugly Stepsister

DATE: Saturday, April 12
TIME: 10:00PM
VENUE: Gateway Theater Fort Lauderdale

Once upon a time, there was a maiden most fair who, after her mother’s passing, is treated cruelly by her evil stepmother and vengeful stepsisters. But what if those stepsisters were not as malicious as one might presume? This twisted reimagining of the classic fairy tale creates a vicious body horror film that shows the extreme measures that one rather “plain” girl undergoes amidst a ruthless competition for physical perfection. With shades of the smash hit THE SUBSTANCE, this film is not for viewers with weak constitutions, but often is a reminder that centuries of body modifications in service to “capturing a good husband” are as uncomfortable as fitting a too-big foot into a shiny glass slipper.
