Forbidden Fruits

About This Movie

Forbidden Fruits is a quirky blend of comedy and horror that dives into the absurdity of consumer culture through a satirical witchy lens. Directed by Meredith Alloway, it captures the chaotic vibe of a mall after hours with a mix of dark humor and real tension. The atmosphere is thick with the strange sisterhood of the characters, especially Apple, Cherry, and Fig, who have this almost campy energy that clashes against Pumpkin's more grounded demeanor. The pacing keeps you on your toes, oscillating between playful banter and genuinely eerie moments. The practical effects used during the climactic sequences bring a tactile feel that heightens the stakes, making the film stand out in a genre often reliant on CGI. Performances resonate with a rawness that feels both relatable and absurd. It's an odd little gem.

Unique blend of horror and absurd comedy. · Strong character dynamics, especially among female leads. · Interesting commentary on consumerism and sisterhood.
