Saccharine

Medical student Hana is struggling with her body image and binge eating. When she runs into an old childhood friend who’s lost an almost eery amount of weight, she discovers the world of diet pills. Saccharine is a gory body horror film about desire, control, and the price of perfection.

Saccharine at the Cineville Preview Days
Finally recovered from the body-horror vibes of The Substance? Good, because director Natalie Erika James is ready to feed you Saccharine. Her film premiered at the recent Berlinale, where audiences left the cinema crying 'gross, fucked up, weird' and... 'hot' – according to this review on Letterboxd. Naturally, we couldn't pass up such a wonderfully freaky horror film during the Cineville Preview Days.
