In a kingdom where beauty becomes power through cruel competition, 'Ugly Sister' is a body horror film that captures the madness of Cinderella's stepsister 'Elvira,' who would not shy away from any pain to become beautiful, and is set to be released exclusively at CGV on August 20, unveiling an overwhelming visual main poster.
The newly released main poster immediately impresses with its striking visuals, featuring an image that perfectly flips the conclusion of the Cinderella story we all know. Especially notable is 'Elvira,' dressed in a gown with a resolute expression as she holds a knife to her foot, paired with the phrase, "If the shoe doesn't fit, just make it fit," which instantly captures the audience's hearts. Her obsession and madness to conform to the standards of beauty, even at the expense of her own body, cruelly twist the fairy tale formula and signal a new genre delight.
Additionally, the glamorous film festival phrases such as 'Official Midnight Selection at the 41st Sundance Film Festival,' 'Official Panorama Selection at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival,' and 'Best Film and Audience Award at the 29th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival' raise expectations for 'Ugly Sister,' which has captivated prestigious film festivals around the world.
Meanwhile, the special video for 'Ugly Sister' that was also released draws attention with its shocking content. Particularly, the upper phrase, 'Medieval Wigobi, Worm Eggs to Eat? or Not?' generates maximum curiosity with the notion of it being a medieval version of 'Wigobi,' which is attracting attention as a weight-loss drug. Wearing an unidentified nose guard, 'Elvira' shows worm eggs to her sister 'Alma' and says, "They say if you swallow this, you can eat as much as you want and lose weight." To which 'Alma' responds, "You must be out of your mind," but 'Elvira,' who can endure anything for beauty, puts the worm eggs in her mouth and swallows them solely for the sake of dieting. The image of 'Elvira' smiling while eating the food and the sight of the worms gradually growing inside her represent the harsh and chilling standards of beauty. Finally, the sight of 'Elvira' spitting out blood raises curiosity about what kind of ending she will face in
