Forbidden Fruits: Witchy Horror-Comedy

On April 2, Forbidden Fruit drops as a fresh, witchy horror comedy aimed at Gen Z, marking

Meredith Alloway's big directorial debut.

It's adapted from a 2019 play by Lily Houghton, who co-wrote the script.

The story follows three stylish 20-somethings, named Apple, Fig, and Cherry, hustling customers

at their boho boutique called Free Eden in Texas.

They pull in a fourth, pumpkin from the pretzel stand, after some spooky tests, but she's

hiding her own agenda.

The film packs religious vibes with the stored name nodding to the Garden of Eden and

fruit-themed characters riffing on original sin.

The cast sees sadness in these women, building a fake paradise on trauma and scams just to

belong, since real success feels out of reach in there.
