‘Forbidden Fruits’ Trailer Forges Deadly Witch Coven For the Social Media Age
Forming a new coven in the modern age isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be in the new trailer for the Diablo Cody-produced Forbidden Fruits from feature debut director Meredith Alloway.
Independent Film Company and Shudder will release Forbidden Fruits in theaters everywhere on March 27, 2026.
Forbidden Fruits follows “Free Eden employee Apple, who secretly runs a witchy femme cult in the basement of the mall store after hours – with fellow fruits Cherry and Fig. But when new hire Pumpkin challenges their ‘girl boss’ ways, the women are forced to face their own poisons or succumb to a bloody fate.“
Lili Reinhart (“Riverdale”), Lola Tung (“The Summer I Turned Pretty”), Victoria Pedretti (“The Haunting of Hill House”), Alexandra Shipp (Tragedy Girls), Gabrielle Union (Breaking In), and Emma Chamberlain star.
The film is an adaptation of playwright Lily Houghton’s stageplay Of the Women Came the Beginning of Sin and Through Her We All Die. Alloway and Houghton are co-adapting.
Jennifer’s Body and Juno scribe Diablo Cody produces alongside Mason Novick (Jennifer’s Body), Mary Anne Waterhouse (Fear Street: Prom Queen), and Trent Hubbard. Executive producers include Charlie Traisman, Katherine Romans, Rachel Douglas, Casey Durant, Neil Parris, Randy Manis, and Fallon Siegler.
“Forbidden Fruits grabbed me by the neck the very first time I read it,” Cody previously said. “It’s one of the craziest, most creative, beautifully bonkers projects I’ve ever worked on. I feel so lucky to be collaborating with Meredith and Lily, who have become heroes of mine in short order. “

Horror stalwart Richard Brake (Barbarian, The Strangers trilogy) puppeteers a dangerous secret as Geppetto in a new clip from Pinocchio Unstrung.
Part of the cinematic universe known as the “Poohniverse,” Pinocchio Unstrung puts a horror movie spin on the classic tale, releasing in theaters on July 24, 2026.
Meet Geppetto and his creepy wooden puppet in an official clip from Pinocchio Unstrung below.
The chilling reimagining of the familiar fable is set inside an elite London prep school. Created by Geppetto and influenced by a sinister Cricket, Pinocchio launches a violent crusade to carve himself into a real boy like his brother, one piece at a time…
Horror icon Robert Englund (Nightmare on Elm Street) voices the role of Cricket.
Pinocchio is voiced by Jude Evan Lloyd and brought to life via a practical animatronic created by Todd Masters (“Tales from the Crypt,” Slither). Cameron Bell, Jessica Balmer, Jack Art Gray, and Peter De Souza-Feighoney also star.
Rhys Frake-Waterfield (Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey) writes and directs the fairy tale slasher, in addition to producing alongside Scott Jeffrey via their Jagged Edge Productions.
Pinocchio Unstrung has been rated ‘R’ for “strong bloody horror violence and gore, language and brief graphic nudity.”
This is fifth entry in the Twisted Childhood Universe, following Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey and its sequel, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, and Bambi: The Reckoning.
The Poohniverse continues with Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3, currently in production, and the crossover film Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble, slated to shoot this summer.
