The Ugly Stepsister

Gatekeeper Strong in semis, fades in finals
2025 · Horror, Comedy, Fantasy, Drama · Emilie Blichfeldt

The Ugly Stepsister's bracket record is tough at 44%, but the round breakdown tells the real story. The wins tend to come in the middle of a tournament — the final is where it fades. A dark fairy tale reimagining that divides voters on tone before they even evaluate the filmmaking. That polarization is the defining feature of its bracket identity — strong reactions in both directions, very few shrugs. Decisions come fast at 1.4s average. This is a film people have opinions about before the matchup asks for one.

Synopsis

In a fairy-tale kingdom where beauty is a brutal business, Elvira battles to compete with her incredibly beautiful stepsister, and she will go to any length to catch the prince’s eye.

The ceiling

44% in the semis, then 14% in the final. The drop isn't gradual — it's a cliff. The Ugly Stepsister looks like a contender right up until the bracket asks it to beat the best.

Bring Her Back at 50% is as close to a dead heat as the platform produces. Every vote matters in this one. On the other end of the spectrum: Together at 100% is a comfortable win, while Sinners at 0% is the matchup The Ugly Stepsister can't crack.
