Saccharine
Saccharine
Hana is obsessed with losing weight.. and with her gorgeous gym trainer Alanya. She’s tried everything to keep the pounds off, but when Hana discovers that eating human ashes works wonders, she doesn’t count on the side effect: the ghost of the cadaver she's consumed. Director Natalie Erika James' creepy, oozy entry into body horror was a smash at the Sundance Film Festival.
