The Ugly Stepsister is a 2025 body horror movie about Elvira, who goes to horrifying extremes to outshine her perfect stepsister and win the prince’s attention in a kingdom where beauty is power.
Synopsis: In a kingdom where beauty is a ruthless currency, Elvira is determined to win the prince’s affection – no matter the cost. The stakes are steep, and failure is unthinkable. Her rival, the radiant and captivating Agnes, seems destined to outshine all others at the grand ball. However, Elvira knows that charm and grace alone won’t guarantee victory. Behind the silk gowns and glittering jewels lies a merciless game where cunning trumps kindness, and the most enchanting mask often conceals the darkest ambition. As Elvira readies herself for the night that could alter her fate forever, she vows to leave no avenue unexplored, no boundary uncrossed. This is not merely a contest for love; it is a war for survival in a world where beauty reigns supreme and only the fiercest can thrive.
