Independent Film Company and Shudder distributes in North America and the U.K.. The film will reportedly get a theatrical release before ultimately landing on Shudder's streaming service.
Filmed in Melbourne, Australia.
Directed by Natalie Erika James (Relic, Apartment 7A), who was quoted saying: "There is so much toxic messaging around weight and appearance that permeates every corner of our culture. Saccharine is an intimate look into one woman’s struggle with body image, self-worth, and shame-driven compulsion, told through a supernatural body-horror with a queer lens and an edge of the absurd."
This is said to be a body horror movie.
