Saccharine

CriticsCritics: 60
AudienceAudience: 6.1

A lovelorn medical student turns to a disturbing weight-loss craze involving human ashes, only to become haunted by the ghost of the person whose remains she consumed. As her fixation deepens, the story explores body image, eating disorders, and the destructive pressure of beauty standards.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy topical body horror with a spooky, unusual premise, but Not for you if eating-disorder themes, disturbing imagery, or intense psychological unease are difficult to watch.
