SUGAR ROT

description

A punk rock horror film where a girl turns into sweets - and everyone wants a taste.

After a brutal assault by an ice cream man, punk girl Candy becomes host to a mutant baby. Her pregnancy accelerates at a horrifying rate, and as her body begins transforming into ice cream, those around her see her not as a person, but as something to be consumed. Fetishized by strangers, and betrayed by those she trusted, Candy fights to reclaim her body before she melts away completely. Fueled by a blistering punk rock soundtrack and dripping with grotesque body horror, this film oozes with raw feminist subtext. Blending midnight movie chaos with social satire, this wild exploitation film has it all—grindhouse grit, surreal shocks, and a heroine who refuses to be devoured.
