‘Nina Forever’ Clip Tastes the Forbidden Fruit (Exclusive)
Nina Forever is one of the more interesting horror films premiering at this year’s SXSW festival. From award-winning UK filmmakers Chris and Ben Blaine, this wholly singular film centers on a bizarre love triangle where one of the girls happens to be a corpse that surfaces every time her ex-boyfriend has sex. Finally, a movie we can all relate to.
Here’s an exclusive first clip from the film in which Holly (Abigail Hardinham) gives grieving Rob (Cian Barry) a taste of her forbidden fruit. Be sure to check in Sunday morning for our review of this morbid romance!
“Holly wants to save Rob, has fallen in love with him. She is training to be a paramedic and works a dead end job in a supermarket where Rob is the only remarkable thing; lost and angry since the death of his girlfriend Nina.
Drawn into a relationship, the first time they’re in bed together so is Nina. A tangled and bloody mess of broken limbs, she is very much dead but still here, still talking, still angry…
However Holly doesn’t freak out and run – she is determined to be the one who heals Rob’s wounds. She can deal with the dead girl sharing their bed, their lives, their minds. If it’s what Rob needs, it’s what Holly will do, whatever the consequences…“
Nina Forever will premiere at the SXSW Film Festival March 14, with additional screenings March 17 and 20.

Jennifer E. Montgomery makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with director of photography Andrew Davis, inspired by Montgomery’s first-hand experience with tragedy involving her best friend.
“Months before the incident, there were signals that her world was unraveling,” says Montgomery. “I could feel the pressure building, though I didn’t know what form it would take. I never could have known what violence would come, and I certainly never imagined making a film about it.”
Austin Stowell (“NCIS: Origins”), Suraj Sharma (Happy Death Day 2U), Mojean Aria (Reminiscence), Amol Shah (“For All Mankind”), and Zenobia Shroff (“Ms. Marvel”) round out the cast.
Smoke Jumper Films and Mango Monster Productions produce in association with Catchlight Studios (Heretic, The Blackening).
This Tempting Madness is rated R for “language, violence/bloody images, and brief sexuality.”
