This is one of the best movies I have watched in a long time. I highly recommend it.
WIIILD. Body horror is perfect when it's grounded in reality! Especially a reality that's still incredibly real today, like the pressure women feel to be perfect No Matter What! Can you believe this was Emilie Blichfeldt's directorial debut? Amazing work.
Love it!
The first time i watched it, i couldn't really get in to it, so i watched it in parts. Then i watched the whole thing through and really enjoyed it. It's not scary, just creepy. I learned an evil step mother can be an evil mother too. Poor Elvira, i felt bad for her up until about the time she left the ball, but what transpired after was just gruesome and pitiful. The younger sister was the only sane one in that family.
Loved this! Love the dark twist to Cinderella and through the point of view of the step sister. Had me on the edge of my seat for a few scenes. Great film!
