Forbidden Fruits Review: This “Cute” Witch Movie Gets Unbelievably Nasty

Forbidden Fruits Review: This “Cute” Witch Movie Gets Unbelievably Nasty

We checked out Forbidden Fruits on Shudder, and it ended up being a fun one. For most of it, Amy and I were both enjoying the cute, witchy, glossy vibe. It kind of feels like if the girls from The Craft listened to Spice Girls instead of The Cure. Then the last stretch kicks in and reminds you very quickly that, yes, this belongs on the horror aisle. In this episode, we talk about the movie’s tone, the Diablo Cody-adjacent feel, Victoria Pedretti as Cherry, the Marilyn Monroe confessionals, the emoji rules, and whether Forbidden Fruits really feels like horror before the ending. Then, after our ratings, we get into spoilers and talk about the big kill sequence, the twist, and why the ending got Amy looking away. A screener was provided by Shudder via AMC Global.

Leviticus Is Basically Conversion Therapy It Follows

Backrooms and Obsession have been standouts in a really good stretch of horror lately, and Leviticus belongs in that conversation. This one is basically conversion therapy It Follows, which is a weird combination, but it works. William thought the horror hook was strong, simple, and effective. Amy had a harder time with the heavier side of the movie and spent most of it wanting to get these kids out of that town. We start spoiler-free, give our Fear Review ratings, and then move into spoilers after a clear warning.

The Voices of Our Mother Review | One of Horror's Most Unexpected Twists?

The Voices of Our Mother takes a very different approach to possession horror, but does the ending make the journey worth it? William and Amy had very different reactions to Shudder's latest original horror film. William appreciated the slow-building mystery and thought the payoff delivered one of the more original possession stories he's seen in a while. Amy agreed the ending was strong but wasn't convinced the journey getting there was worth it. Join us for our spoiler-free review, ratings, and a full spoiler discussion as we break down one of the most unique horror concepts we've seen this year.

Amy Walked Out of Find Your Friends

Amy did something she's never done before on The Fear Review: she walked out. Not because of the horror. Not because of the gore. Because she couldn't take another minute with the characters. This week we're reviewing Find Your Friends, the new Shudder Original that follows a group of young women whose desert getaway spirals into violence. While the film aims to explore party culture, toxic friendships, trauma, and survival, neither of us could connect with the characters at the center of the story. We discuss why the film never gave us a reason to care, whether intentionally unlikeable characters can still carry a movie, why the horror arrives far too late, and how another revenge thriller on Shudder handled similar themes much more effectively. What did you think of Find Your Friends? Did the characters work for you, or were you checked out long before the horror started?

Scary Movie Promised "No Safe Spaces"... Did It Deliver?

The Wayans are back with a new Scary Movie, but did they actually go as far as the marketing promised? Amy was laughing constantly and gave Scary Movie a Full Price, calling it a fun return to the franchise's slapstick roots. William had a great time too, but came away wishing the comedy had a little more bite. In this episode, we discuss whether this style of parody comedy still works in 2026, why younger audiences seemed to embrace it just as much as longtime fans, the movie's biggest laughs, favorite references, the surprisingly clever Wayans family ending, and whether Scary Movie played things too safe.
