Emilie Blichfeldt directs Lea Myren, Thea Sofie Loch Næss and Ane Dahl Torp in this Danish body horror reimagining of the Cinderella fairytale told from a stepsister’s P.O.V..

A goofy innocent puts her body through hell trying to be the belle of the ball while facing stiff competition from a grieving Cinderella. Visually this is very exciting, it is horny as fuck and the acting is pleasingly energised. Expect to see Lea Myren in more. The poster promised a bit more hacking and slashing but what is actually delivered is a more period answer song to The Substance peppered with demented moments of excess. If it were a little more tightly plotted I would have fallen for it head over heels.
