The premise

A filmmaker heads to Hollywood in the early ’90s to make her movie but tumbles down a hallucinatory rabbit hole of sex, magic, revenge — and kittens.

Horror Vault's take

Set against the seedy glamour of early-90s Los Angeles, Brand New Cherry Flavor follows a young filmmaker whose ruthless ambition draws her into a dangerous bargain with a mysterious woman who deals in something far older and stranger than showbiz. What begins as a quest for creative control and payback spirals into a fever-dream of body horror and black magic that grows more unhinged with every episode. The series revels in its own weirdness, blending industry satire with genuinely nauseating supernatural dread. Rosa Salazar anchors the chaos with a magnetic, unflinching performance.
