“Cant you see that she is poison?!” Shudder & Independent Film Co have revealed the first teaser trailer for a witchy new horror dark comedy creation called Forbidden Fruits, marking the feature directorial debut of indie filmmaker Meredith Alloway. This teaser might be hinting that this film is premiering at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival or SXSW as they’ve only listed it for release in 2026 yet it seems to have that festival spunky. At a mall store, Apple leads a secret witch cult with her coworkers Cherry & Fig. But when the new hire Pumpkin questions their sisterhood, it forces them to confront inner darkness or meet violent ends. Ha ha. This certainly looks wicked and wild, even with just this quick dash of footage. Forbidden Fruits stars Lili Reinhart as Apple, Lola Tung, Victoria Pedretti, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Chamberlain, and Gabrielle Union. Keep an eye out for this fun indie witch comedy coming next year. Get a first look below.
Here’s the first teaser trailer for Meredith Alloway’s film Forbidden Fruits, direct from IFC’s YouTube:
Free Eden employee Apple (Lili Reinhart) secretly runs a witchy femme cult in the basement of the mall store after hours – with fellow fruits Cherry & Fig. When new hire Pumpkin challenges their performative sisterhood, the women are forced to face their own poisons or succumb to a bloody fate. Forbidden Fruits is directed by newcomer indie filmmaker Meredith Alloway, making her feature directorial debut now after a few other short films previously. The screenplay is written by Meredith Alloway and Lily Houghton. Produced by Mason Novick, Diablo Cody, Trent Hubbard, Mary Anne Waterhouse. This hasn’t premiered at any festivals or elsewhere, as far as we know. IFC and Shudder will debut Alloway’s Forbidden Fruits film in US theaters starting early 2026 sometime next year – stay tuned for more updates. Who’s intrigued so far?
