                        Spoonful of Sugar

                        "I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Interesting and twisted genre film. Slipcover art is odd though"

                        — Eric B. (4/5)

                        Great surprise!

                        "I wasn't sure if I was going to like this movie, but it actually turned out to be a real treat. While I can see how it's not for everyone, if you are open to some odd, kinky, trippy stuff, then this one might be for you. The performances were great, and it had me hooked from the first shot. It didn't seem like the cookie-cutter formulaic junk we get spoon-fed regularly. This one stands out as an original piece of art. It feels honest, yet mysterious and ambiguous. Great stuff!"

                        — Aaron B. (5/5)

                        Spoonful of Sugar

                        "Had never heard of this film and decided to give it a shot. Glad that I did as it was very creepy and weird. As always, there were cool extras and the artwork was very sweet."

                        — Stephen H. (5/5)

                        Very funny movie

                        "Very funny movie"

                        — Ian C. (3/5)

                        Spoonful of Sugar

                        "Not the type of movie I thought it was from the trailer. I was expecting more horror and a faster pace. Still, it had some unexpected turns and surprises, and it was still enjoyable to watch."

                        — Mario S. (3/5)

                        This Sugar Was Really Sweet!

                        "This very entertaining movie features a very interesting approach and has excellent performances by all! It is a thoroughly engaging flick and one of my favorites in quite a while! The peerless VS restoration process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"

                        — Paul K. (5/5)

                        Spoonful of Sugar

                        "Excellent Shudder release by Vinegar Syndrome. This movie is absolutely crazy in a good way. I have been grabbing all the Shudder releases and as a horror fan they keep delivering. I highly recommend picking up this title."

                        — Kevin L. (5/5)

                        Psychological Thriller

                        "Spoonful of Sugar is a psychological horror thriller that blends domestic unease, surreal imagery, and a steadily escalating sense of danger. The story follows Millicent, a young woman who takes a babysitting job caring for Johnny, a mute child with severe allergies, only to become entangled in the family’s secrets as her own grip on reality begins to slip. The film uses her experimental, LSD‑tinged “treatments” as a device to blur the line between perception and truth, creating a disorienting atmosphere that mirrors her unraveling state."

                        — Tarek E. (3/5)

                        A spoonful makes the depravity go down

                        "A Spoonful of Sugar is one of those Shudder titles I left languishing on my watchlist for far too long. Expectations, consequently, were modest — and decisively exceeded. Morgan Saylor delivers one of the more unsettling genre performances in recent memory, fully committing to the fascinatingly vile Millicent, an LSD-microdosing child caregiver whose volatility simmers just beneath the surface. The film hinges on a major narrative turn that may prove divisive, but it’s executed with such brazen confidence that many viewers will willingly follow it into darker territory. As with most Shudder partner releases, the presentation is thoughtfully assembled. The slipcover artwork, however, feels a touch amateurish — perhaps intentionally so, though more imaginative visual approaches might have better reflected the film’s psychological bite. Supplemental features are modest but solid, and the inclusion of a booklet is always welcome. All told, it’s a worthy physical release for a film that may be imperfect, but remains undeniably compelling."

                        — Shawn P. (5/5)

                        Spoonful of Sugar

                        "This one was a pleasant surprise for me, as I went in not knowing much, and by the end I had a lot more to think about than I’d initially anticipated. Was great to be able to grab this with the slipcover. Also really enjoyed the director’s newest film BONE LAKE and I look forward to all the new stuff."
