    I 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...

    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.

  • Bloody Disgusting @bloody-disgusting.comBluesky · Mar 18, 2026

    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.

    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...

  • 🩸💀 The Horror Guru 💀🩸 @thehorrorguru.bsky.socialBluesky · Jul 15, 2026

    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. 👍

    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
