Free Eden employee Apple leads a secret witch cult with coworkers Cherry and Fig. New hire Pumpkin questions their sisterhood, forcing them to confront inner darkness or meet violent ends.

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.

It’s smart, but not cleverly written. Still, though the editing is choppy and the thin narrative is incongruous, these shortcomings allow “Forbidden Fruits” to feel like an appropriately robotic testimony to what going to the mall is like today.

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.

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.

Forbidden Fruits takes a while to ripen, but when it does, viewers should be prepared.

In the translation from stage to screen, the filmmakers create a clever generational dissonance.

Reinhart here makes a formidable and funny coven leader, and she’s particularly good during the bloody climax.

Felt a little crammed. Also the ending was a bit off. Still wondering why Apple was homeless in Dallas.

There is so much to these women that, for an interpersonally-based cinema junkie like me, I can see returns to this flick becoming a regular habit. I even know what I want to focus on the 1st time I watch it again. Performances are off the charts from all parties with regard to specific stakes, histories, & authenticity to the world of the film. And while its not exactly a horror movie per s, the horror genres kind of all over it.

It was entertaining, a bit Mean Girl-ish. I would watch the sequel if they make one.

I really wanted to like this movie. But instead of giving the characters any believable nuance they dumbed them down so far that so much of it felt corny. The only reason I didnt give it one star is that most of the actors powered through the bad dialogue and scattered storyline with strong performances.
