The third feature from writer-director Natalie Erika James is a timely one, tapping into a current medical phenomenon while also aligning itself with a run of recent genre fare (most notably the 2024 sleeper \u201cThe Substance\u201d) predicated on female body insecurity. Real-life horror of one\u2019s own body is the most insidious kind of body horror at play here, though James\u2019 film offers a measure of the gorily fantastical stuff too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cSaccharine\u201d marks a homecoming for its Australian helmer, who broke out in 2020 with \u201cRelic,\u201d an unusual and unexpectedly devastating horror film that located its humane terrors in late-stage dementia \u2014 before heading to the U.S. for the sleekly crafted but inevitably less distinctive \u201cRosemary\u2019s Baby\u201d prequel \u201cApartment 7A.\u201d Set and shot in Melbourne on a seemingly modest but well-used budget, \u201cSaccharine\u201d proves James\u2019 gifts are better served by more independent means, even if it falls short of the emotional and dramatic heft that gave \u201cRelic\u201d equal genre and arthouse appeal. Following festival dates at Sundance and Berlin, it\u2019s set to be released as a streaming original on home turf, with IFC and Shudder partnering for its Stateside release.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tSporting a credible Aussie accent, former \u201cGrey\u2019s Anatomy\u201d regular Midori Francis once more dons a set of scrubs as Hana, a Melbourne medical student whose requisite pledge to first do no harm doesn\u2019t appear to have extended to herself. Tormented by the perception that her perfectly healthy-looking body is severely overweight, she bounces between phases of binge-eating and self-punishment, eventually signing up for an intensive 12-week transformation program pitched by svelte gym trainer Alanya (Madeleine Madden) \u2014 though her attraction to Alanya may be the main motivating factor there. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAround the same time, however, she thrown off course by a chance reunion with a former school friend: once plus-size, now unrecognizably skinny, and a pushy advocate for an exclusive new weight-loss pill she calls simply \u201cThe Gray.\u201d Tempted but reluctant to fork out the money, Hana runs some tests on the drug, and finds \u2014 in what one hopes is just a grim horror-film twist \u2014 that its composition comes down pretty much entirely to human ashes. Somehow not sufficiently horrified to halt matters then and there, she resolves instead to make her own Gray, stealing and cremating flesh from the cadaver she and fellow student Josie (an underused Danielle Macdonald) have been assigned for research.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tSure enough, the pounds start falling off, at a rate that concerns the increasingly interested Alanya. But it turns out that ingesting incinerated human remains is a bad idea for reasons beyond even the many glaringly obvious ones. Before long, the spirit of the cadaver \u2014 an obese cancer victim, crassly nicknamed Big Bertha by the students \u2014 is raised, seemingly angered not just by this macabre violation of her corpse, but by the increasingly drawn and sickly Hana\u2019s new regimen. The ensuing fallout is less frightening than it is queasy, though there are some jolts courtesy of expert gross-out prosthetics and old-school ghost-story effects. That \u201cBertha\u201d is only visible to Hana in spoons and other such concave reflective surfaces is a neat, witty visual touch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tHowever, the fact that the cadaver\u2019s large, decaying form is used to increasingly monstrous jump-scare effect, haunting Hana\u2019s dreams and causing physical havoc in her waking hours, is a device that risks undermining \u201cSaccharine\u2019s\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly body-positive message \u2014 though one could argue for that depiction as a manifestation of the protagonist\u2019s own most extreme bodily neuroses. Also questionably handled is a psychologically illuminating subplot around Hana\u2019s family history of weight problems, teased with some needlessly shadowy ambuigity ahead of a surprise reveal. There\u2019s a fine, touching performance, however, from Showko Showfukutei as Hana\u2019s loving but fretful mother, desperately concerned for her daughter\u2019s well-being but inclined to show love only through unrequired domestic service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tFrancis gives warm, vulnerable grounding to a character whose choices are frequently, on the face of it, inexplicable: \u201cSaccharine\u201d functions as a cautionary tale for the mania caused by a relentlessly body-conscious culture, tainting everything from friendly conversation to punitively aspirational Instagram feeds. \u201cSaccharine,\u201d for its part, does much to deglamorize its gaze, beginning with the scuzzy lighting and seasick palette of DP Charlie Sarroff\u2019s lensing. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBut it\u2019s aurally that the film is most disquieting. Hannah Peel\u2019s inventive score merges gasping vocal expressions with grinding, dehumanized mechanical instrumentation, while sound designer Robert Mackenzie eerily amplifies shortened breathing, groaning physical exertions and, of course, the regular chomp and smack of chewing. It all amounts to a kind of anti-ASMR \u2014 if anything, you leave \u201cSaccharine\u201d craving some sensory underload. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
