After her first two features, Relic and Apartment 7A, Natalie Erika James has cemented herself as a regular name to watch within the horror space. James is an Australian filmmaker, and Saccharine is not only her third feature film but also her second to have its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. James often centers her filmmaking in horror around the dread and atmosphere of environments rather than jump scares, making for some incredibly chilling sequences, but Saccharine combines both her strengths in the horror space alongside new elements of body horror and comedic filmmaking, which makes for arguably her most intriguing feature yet.
Joshua Mbonu sat down with the writer/director to discuss nearly everything surrounding her latest feature and where she thinks Saccharine will differentiate itself from other horror films that have tackled similar themes.
