Horror Nonna needs our help. You know what to do, horror peeps!
So dang happy for you April!♥️
“Saccharine is a deliciously disgusting exercise in feminist gore for the era of Ozempic. A twist-heavy treat, visually rich and heaped with generously treacly dollops of deluxe-pulp energy.”

More traditionally unsettling than the comedy-tinged satire of ‘The Substance’ or ‘The Beauty’, #Saccharine is a gripping exercise in dread that rivals its best body horror contemporaries for raw genre thrills.

Just saw #SACCHARINE at #SundanceFilmFestival and I’m so glad I stayed out [way] past my bedtime for this one. It was tagged w/ the #shudder logo so I’m thinking you can see it there soon. But wow. 5 ⭐️ for one of the most intentionally constructed movies I’ve ever seen. WOW.🤩 #filmsky #horrorsky
SACCHARINE star Midori Francis! ❤️🔥
My first non-doc of Sundance 2026 was a winner. Natalie Erika James’ Saccharine is a creepy cool surrealist flick that offers a new take on body horror
Movie #2 - SACCHARINE
Body horror tale about our inability to handle our real problems, so we restrict our bodies instead.
Hell of a movie.
#SACCHARINE. It’s hypnotic, brutal and seriously stylish. Natalie Erika James goes for the jugular with this and proves again that she’s one of the most exciting voices in modern horror. It’s body horror that’s smart, nasty and impossible to shake.
