Forbidden Fruits Movie Clip: Retail Therapy Meets a Deadly Witch Coven
The Forbidden Fruits movie clip highlights the “performative sisterhood” at the heart of Meredith Alloway’s feature directorial debut. The footage introduces us to Apple (Lili Reinhart), the “ringleader” of a secret cult operating out of the basement of a mall store called Free Eden. In the clip, Apple and her fellow “Fruits”—Cherry (Victoria Pedretti) and Fig (Alexandra Shipp)—initiate their newest hire, Pumpkin (Lola Tung), into their glamorous but lethal inner circle. Produced by Academy Award winner Diablo Cody (Jennifer’s Body), the film is being hailed as “Mean Girls meets The Craft for Gen Z.” According to a review by Bloody Disgusting, the snippet showcases the film’s “mall-stalgic” aesthetic, complete with neon lights, butterfly clips, and the witty, fast-paced dialogue Cody is known for.
A Star-Studded Cast of Indie Favorites
While the footage focuses on the tension between Apple and Pumpkin, the full film boasts a massive ensemble. In addition to the lead quartet, the project features the acting debut of Emma Chamberlain as “Pickle”—an ex-member of the coven who met a mysterious and “gnarly” fate. Gabrielle Union also stars as Sharon, adding a layer of high-authority gravitas to the otherwise youthful, “candy-colored” chaos. This ensemble energy follows the buzz around other major 2026 team-ups, like Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s French press tour for The Drama.

March 27: The Theatrical and Shudder Premiere
After a celebrated world premiere at SXSW on March 16, where it earned an 81% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the film is set for a major release. Forbidden Fruits will hit theaters in the U.S. on March 27, 2026, before eventually moving to its streaming home on Shudder. With its 104-minute runtime and “banger” soundtrack featuring 2000s-era needle drops, the film is positioned as the first “slumber-party classic” of the decade. It joins a competitive March slate alongside the first teaser for the new Harry Potter series.
Pop-RNB Verdict
Forbidden Fruits is a fun, “mallcore” fever dream that proves the most dangerous thing in the world isn’t a demon—it’s a group of girls with a shared secret and sharp heels.
