SUGAR ROT @ CINEWORKS

Sugar Rot is 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. As her body transforms into ice cream, those around her see her not as a person, but as something to be consumed. Fueled by a blistering punk soundtrack and dripping with grotesque body horror, this wild exploitation film oozes with feminist subtext. PROGRAM TEAM: When Becca Kozak wrote ‘Sugar Rot is a statement on how women's bodies are commodified and consumed by society’ she wasn’t kidding. It’s like John Waters and Stephanie Rothman had an unholy child and named it Candy.
