‘Forbidden Fruits’ Cast and Creators Discuss Witchy Femme Cults and Twisted Female Friendships: ‘Sometimes Wanting Belonging Cracks Everything Open’
Okay, so, have you guys even heard about ‘Forbidden Fruits’ yet? Because if not, you need to add it to your must-watch list immediately—like, right now! It’s finally out in theaters, and it’s bringing all the witchy, femme cult energy we’ve been absolutely craving. Seriously, picture this: a totally normal-looking Dallas mall boutique, “Free Eden,” where four young women sell, you know, slightly overpriced clothes, probably burn a little sage to keep the vibes right… but THEN, after hours, it turns into this secret, super intense coven situation! Talk about double lives, am I right?
It’s this brilliant horror-comedy, which is honestly the perfect genre combo for it. Meredith Alloway, making her debut feature film—go her!—just totally nails the whole vibe. And get this, it’s adapted from Lily Houghton’s play, which is just… *chef’s kiss*. The cast and creators have been talking a lot about those twisted female friendships and how sometimes, that desperate desire for belonging just cracks everything wide open. It’s got that dark, kinda unsettling feeling, but also, you know, hilarious moments. Those secret rituals, the power dynamics, the whole aesthetic—it’s just *everything*. You gotta check it out. It’s truly a whole experience.
