I’m sad to damn this ambitious horror film with faint praise because it comes off like yet another generic PG13 horror flick… you know the ones I’m talking about. But it goes all serpentine and gets enough right to settle … Continue reading
The Ugly Stepsister is a Norwegian language retelling of the Cinderella story from the ugly stepsister’s POV. And when the call for actresses to play the ugly stepsister goes out, that must be a tough decision to show up for … Continue reading
