Ugly Stepsister – Blood, Beauty & a Brutal Cinderella Twist

This week on Geeks Out Lite, Tamzyn and Miranda:

  • Cinderella reimagined through the eyes of her ‘ugly’ stepsister.

  • Body horror meets 1800s beauty rituals — spiders, coca leaves, and needles.

  • Gorgeous period costumes with a feminist horror bite.

  • Divisive takes: stunning visuals vs. slow, punishing runtime.

  • Trigger warnings: eating disorders and self-harm.

Streaming now on Shudder — is this a gothic gem or a grim misstep?
