60 of 249 · most liked firstI love how the Ugly Stepsister film turns Cinderella into a cautionary tale about going to unhealthy extremes to fit impossible beauty standards. Not only is it true to the original, more violent, fairytale it manages to do so with realistic character motivations on all sides. Also synth music! 8/10
positive · AI labelView post →I reviewed THE UGLY STEPSISTER, which is... fine. Another movie about obsessive thinness-centric feminine beauty standards without a single fat body in sight. Coming so close on the heels of THE SUBSTANCE does it no favors. www.patreon.com/posts/128814...
neutral · AI labelView post →Yooooo THE UGLY STEPSISTER is about to become this year’s movie that a bunch of you will make your whole identity. Gory and hilarious and relentless.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched THE UGLY STEPSISTER last night! I have not covered my eyes this much during a horror movie maybe...ever. Absolutely not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach, but SUCH a good movie if you like body horror and smart movies by and about women 🦶🔪
positive · AI labelView post →RELIC is one of my favorite horror movies of the 2020s, so I was excited to chat with Natalie Erika James about her new film SACCHARINE, which is playing near the same space as THE SUBSTANCE and THE UGLY STEPSISTER, but focusing on food addiction and diet culture. www.fangoria.com/saccharine-i...

positive · AI labelView post →What's your favorite 2025 horror movie?. We've been on a roll the last few years and had quite a few great new movies come out again this year. I'm not sure if anything is coming out in December that would topple it but I'd say my favourite has been.. Sinners. Just something about that Irish dance scene that really impressed me. Otherwise cool movies I've watched has been Bring her back, The Monkey, Weapons, the Ugly Stepsister and most recently Frankenstein. What about you lot?

Popular franchises have celebrated new entries, like V/H/S/Halloween, Black Phone 2, 28 Years Later, the Conjuring franchise’s swan song, and what might be the best Final Destination movie to date. Original films like Weapons, Good Boy, and Together helped open minds and get under their audience’s skin, while offerings like Sinners and Frankenstein are even likely to earn themselves…

positive · AI labelView post →Just saw The Ugly Stepsister (Den Stygge Stesøsteren) and that is the hardest body horror movie I've seen in a long time not for the visuals but for the cinematic empathy and painstakingly accurate depictions of sexist family abuse. Massive trigger warning check recommended but very good film.
