The Ugly Stepsister Plot Synopsis:


Synopsis / Plot Summary: Follows Elvira as she battles against her gorgeous stepsister in a realm where beauty reigns supreme. She resorts to extreme measures to captivate the prince, amidst a ruthless competition for physical perfection.

Wednesday 30th April 2025, London UK: Vertigo Releasing, in association with Shudder and IFC Films, is delighted to confirm the digital release date for The Ugly Stepsister.

Vertigo Releasing, in association with Shudder and IFC Films, has confirmed the UK and US release date of the stomach-churning Norwegian body-horror The Ugly Stepsister. 

The film will be hitting US cinemas on 18th April and UK cinemas on 25th April.
