Coming Soon To Select Theaters: ‘SACCHARINE’

Coming soon to select theaters from director Natalie Erika James (Relic) is a new horror film: Saccharine. The film stars Midori Francis (Afterlife of the Party), Danielle MacDonald (Dumplin’), and Madeleine Madden (Tidelands – TV Series).

Synopsis

Hana (Midori Francis), a lovelorn medical student, becomes terrorized by a sinister force after taking part in an obscure weight loss craze: eating human ashes.

Filmmaker Natalie Erika James’ (RELIC) third feature offers a modern and timely take on toxic messaging around weight and appearance that permeates every corner of our culture. With her latest film SACCHARINE, James takes an intimate look into one woman’s struggle with body image, self-worth, and shame-driven compulsion, told through a supernatural body-horror with a queer lens.
