New England Premiere!

Under pressure to lose weight, medical student Hana (Midori Francis) learns about a new weight loss drug that’s all the rage: eating human ashes. Unfortunately, the miracle cure comes with unintended consequences. Written and directed by Natalie Erika James (Relic), Saccharine is a stomach-churning horror movie that keeps the intensity high – think body horror in the vein of The Substance with a haunting dash of It Follows. Saccharine wrestles with many of the internal and external influences pushing Hana to think thin and the dire actions some may take to achieve unhealthy beauty standards. -Monica Castillo
