Best known for her role as Dr. Mika Yasuda in the medical drama, Francis takes on a chilling new character—a medical student who becomes entangled in a bizarre weight-loss trend: consuming human ashes.
However, this unconventional practice takes a sinister turn when she finds herself haunted by a ghost with an insatiable hunger.
Two newly released images provide an eerie glimpse into the film’s unsettling atmosphere. One image captures the protagonist gazing fearfully into a spoon, seemingly searching for a reflection. The other image shows her lying in bed—though on closer examination, it appears she is actually resting on a surface made of bin bags.
Currently, Saccharine has been confirmed for release in Australia, where the streaming service Stan plans to premiere it in cinemas before making it available for home viewing.
The film was shot in Melbourne and is directed by Australian-American/Japanese filmmaker Natalie Erika James, known for Relic and the upcoming Rosemary’s Baby prequel, Apartment 7A. It also features Australian actors Danielle Macdonald (The Tourist) and Madeleine Madden (The Wheel of Time).
Cailah Scobie, Chief Content Officer at Stan, expressed enthusiasm for the project, calling it an exciting addition to their lineup of original films. She highlighted James’s expertise in the horror genre and praised the collaboration with Carver Films and Thrum Films. With a talented creative team and lead cast, Saccharine is expected to offer a unique Australian horror experience that will appeal to audiences worldwide.
