Screening location: SIFF Film Center – 167 Republican St, Seattle (located within the Seattle Center, just north of Climate Pledge Arena / east of KEXP and The Vera Project)
An early access screening, featuring exclusive bonus content, of the new horror/comedy from director/co-writer Meredith Alloway and producer Diablo Cody.
Free Eden employee Apple (Lilli Reinhart) secretly runs a witchy femme cult in the basement of the mall store after hours – with fellow fruits Cherry (Victoria Pedretti) and Fig (Alexandra Shipp). But, when new hire Pumpkin (Lola Tung) challenges their performative sisterhood, the women are forced to face their own poisons or succumb to a bloody fate.

“If you see one spicy depraved satirical thriller this year that’s a cross between Mean Girls and The Craft and something far darker, by all means make that movie Forbidden Fruits.” Owen Gleiberman, Variety
“…it feels like the first movie in years that should be inducted into the slumber-party classics Hall of Fame.” Ashliene McMenamy, Dread Central
“…[this] cult film-in-the-making bears the familiar killer instincts, quick wit, and pop culture satire that made Heathers such a perennial favorite, but for a new generation.” Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting
