In a fairy-tale kingdom where beauty is a brutal business, Elvira battles to compete with her incredibly beautiful stepsister, and she will go to any length to catch the prince’s eye.

Festering with maggots and tapeworms, this majestically gruesome feature debut from Norwegian writer-director Emilie Blichfeldt guts facile fantasies of inner beauty. Adapting the timeless tale, this body-horror spin on Cinderella writhes with the darkness of the Grimm Brothers’ original vision.
