60 of 121 · most liked firstI reviewed SACCHARINE, a horror movie about fatness in which fat people are once again reduced to abject, repulsive props for the anxieties of the thin. Deeply uninteresting film. www.patreon.com/scumbelievab...
negative · AI labelView post →Highly recommend the new horror film Saccharine (2026). There have been many body horror films riding the coattails of ‘The Substance’ lately, but this one truly had something meaningful to say about EDs, body image and femininity.
positive · AI labelView post →From director Natalie Erika James, body horror film SACCHARINE is rated "R" for "disturbing content, grisly images, sexuality, drug use, graphic nudity & language." A student is terrorized by a sinister force after taking part in a new weight loss craze: eating human ashes.
neutral · AI labelView post →RELIC is one of my favorite horror movies of the 2020s, so I was excited to chat with Natalie Erika James about her new film SACCHARINE, which is playing near the same space as THE SUBSTANCE and THE UGLY STEPSISTER, but focusing on food addiction and diet culture. www.fangoria.com/saccharine-i...

neutral · AI labelView post →recent horror film Saccharine got under my skin, which is meant as a compliment. it's about a disturbing new dieting trend, and the young woman who becomes hooked on it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Saccharine (2026) is a Australian supernatural body horror film that's a cross between The Substance (2024) and The Eye (2002). A medical student tries a new weight loss supplement made from the ashes of the dead, only to find herself haunted by the spirits within. Very gross. I dug it a lot. 👍

neutral · AI labelView post →Spent 12 hours in my favorite movie theater watching 6 films in a row. I love Boosters was monumentally good. Going to see it again dressed up in SF. Maddie’s secret, Saccharine, and Corporate retreat are highly recommended watches.
positive · AI labelView post →i was a little confused as to why pretty much no one else liked Saccharine as much as i did, so i went and read a bunch of people's reviews of and responses to it. and, well. not everybody was paying attention to the movie

neutral · AI labelView post →watched Saccharine. hard to recommend without some asterisks because there's so much eating disorder/body dysmorphia stuff and you never know who that's going to be a sore spot for but it's a really great movie if you can handle it. the gore was honestly a bit much for me lol but i powered through
positive · AI labelView post →Also this a very sapphic film, so if any of my lesbian follows are looking for some more horror representation: Check out Saccharine (2026)!

neutral · AI labelView post →Saccharine (2026) was fantastic; and I dare say I liked it a lot better than The Substance. This is surely a movie for an era of GLP-1 trend. This was a fun watch, a visually stunning watch, a hard watch. Sadly abandons its own rules at the finish line, but a near perfect movie. 4.5/5 #horrorsky
positive · AI labelView post →Saccharine (2026) is a tedious, kind of cruel movie with one of the stupider endings I've seen in a minute. Very skippable!

Anchored by a commanding lead performance by new-to-horror star Midori Francis, the film is mad scientist-meets-THE SUBSTANCE-meets-PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
