Reinhart plays Apple, who works in a mall, in a store called Free Eden from where he runs a coven:

“In a mall store, Apple runs a secret after-hours witch cult with her companions Cherry (Pedretti) and Fig (Shipp). But when newly hired Pumpkin (Tung) challenges their performative sisterhood, the women are forced to face their own poisons or succumb to a bloody fate.”

In an interview with Collider, Alloway described his film as:

“A kind of satire. I hope it has humor.” American Psycho It's a great reference in terms of tone, because I think everyone in the movie takes life very seriously, and it can be fun to laugh at it.but there are also extremely dark moments that feel very raw and real. You can experience this film in many different ways.

“And I think that with Fruits, We took it as, 'Well, let's keep it playful.' Ultimately, it should be a fun movie experience, but there are scenes that delve into the brutality of female relationships.”

And in case you are not aware, we tell you that Independent Film Company, is the rebranding of the formerly known as IFC Films. At the beginning of May, the independent film producer and distributor announced its rebranding, with which it would be called Independent Film Company (IFC), releasing a logo and at the same time, its parent group would change its name from AMC Networks Entertainment Group to IFC Entertainment Group.

This is how the integrated structure of AMC Networks' four film verticals, which include Independent Film Company, IFC Center, RLJE, and Shudder, is formalized. The brands will continue to operate with a synergistic approach across the AMC Networks ecosystem.

IFC co-distributes horror films with Shudder, the streaming service specialized in the genre.

Forbidden Fruits premieres in theaters March 27, 2026.
