Uncover the Dark Secrets of 'Forbidden Fruits': Lili Reinhart's Witchy Cult in a Diablo Cody-Produced Horror Movie
Get ready for a chilling adventure as Lili Reinhart (“Riverdale”) takes center stage in the upcoming horror film, Forbidden Fruits. Produced by the renowned Diablo Cody, this movie promises a unique blend of suspense and creativity. But here's where it gets intriguing: it's not just any cult, it's a witchy femme cult led by Reinhart's character, Apple, in the basement of a mall store.
The film, directed by Meredith Alloway, is an adaptation of playwright Lily Houghton's stage play, Of the Women Came the Beginning of Sin and Through Her We All Die. It follows Apple, an employee at Free Eden, who secretly runs a cult with her fellow 'fruits' Cherry and Fig. However, things take a twisted turn when a new hire, Pumpkin, challenges their 'girl boss' ways, forcing the women to confront their inner demons or face a bloody end.
The cast also includes the talented Lola Tung (“The Summer I Turned Pretty”), Victoria Pedretti (“The Haunting of Hill House”), Alexandra Shipp (Tragedy Girls), Gabrielle Union (Breaking In), and Emma Chamberlain. With such a stellar lineup, Forbidden Fruits is poised to deliver a thrilling cinematic experience.
Diablo Cody, the producer, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, 'Forbidden Fruits grabbed me by the neck the very first time I read it. It’s one of the craziest, most creative, beautifully bonkers projects I’ve ever worked on. I feel so lucky to be collaborating with Meredith and Lily, who have become heroes of mine in short order.'
The film's production team includes Mason Novick, Trent Hubbard, and Mary Anne Waterhouse as producers, and Charlie Traisman and Katherine Romans as executive producers for MadhouseFilms. Casey Durant and Rachel Douglas from Range Media Partners are also on board.
With a captivating premise, a talented cast, and the creative mind of Diablo Cody, Forbidden Fruits is set to be a must-watch horror movie. So, mark your calendars for its theatrical release in 2026 and prepare for a chilling journey into the dark side of human nature.
