When I first heard about The Ugly Stepsister, I thought, ‘Great, another horror that's going to ruin one of my favourite childhood movies and annoy a whole bunch of Disney adults in the process.’
However, upon watching the Nordic film, I realized that The Ugly Stepsister is much different from the other fairytale slashers that simply take a beloved character and monstify them. Instead, it leans into what makes fairytales creepy in the first place.
