Critics Consensus

Charmingly goofy and packed with incisive insights into the relatable ups and downs of any friend group, Forbidden Fruits is a campy coven worth hanging out with for its concise runtime.

Smartly cast with an ensemble of up-and-coming young actors who deliver the bitchy comedic dialogue like they wrote it themselves, Forbidden Fruits is very much of our current moment.

3/4

It’s campy, full of laughs and some gore, and even sounds a chord about breaking free – or at least trying too – of female friendships and cliques.

The movie is rarely fun or funny, further dulled by gray-washed scenes that turn the hottest store in the mall into a pale echo of better cult films.

It does have some pretty gnarly kills. I'll never go on an escalator the same way again

The well-acted film generates some laughs while cleverly tweaking commercialism and superficiality, although there’s not much substance beneath the acerbic surface.

Outfits were fire - gave off a bit of a Jawbreakers vibe, and there were some funny wtf moments, but I never feel the need to watch this again. I will say, Victoria Pedretti did a fantastic job in her role. Cute movie! 3.5/5.

Forbidden Fruits (2026) is a horrorish-comedy film directed by Meredith Alloway about a witchy cult of female employees at a mall store called "Free Eden," led by a character named Apple, who must confront their toxic sisterhood when a new hire challenges them, leading to a bloody fate. This movie wasn't promoted very well. I believe there will be some quotable material in this film. I don't know if it quite hit all the marks for me. But I did enjoy it. They must have hexed themselves with the pacing of this movie. The Preview, I saw gave me The Craft mixed with Mean girls vibe.. but I felt more darkness and wit like Jennifer's Body and Heathers with teen like satire humor and over the top violence. The acting was well done but I needed more comedic moments and maybe artist shots or story telling.. I did enjoy the film but unfortunately it fell a little flat. 3 out of 5 for me. Still a fun watch. Stay for mid credit scene.
