A new Barbie-style (the doll, not the movie) poster for upcoming sci-fi body horror satire, Slanted, has been released, and we also have the first social media reactions, reviews and an early Rotten Tomatoes score.<\/p>\n

Slanted is currently sitting at an impressive 85% based on 27 reviews.<\/p>\n

The movie has also been rated R for “language, some sexual material, teen drug use and brief violent content\/bloody images.”<\/p>\n

Directed by Amy\u00a0Wang, the story focuses on an insecure Chinese-American high school student named Joan (Beast Beast actress Shirley Chen) who longs to be accepted, and decides to undergo a radical experimental procedure to make her appear white.<\/p>\n

Joan wakes up looking like an entirely different person (played by Scream 7 and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’s Mckenna Grace), and returns to school posing as a new student with her mind set on becoming Prom Queen.<\/p>\n

“My first feature film, Slanted, offers a searing and unapologetically satirical view of race and what it is to be White,” said Wang. “At the heart of this movie is a Chinese girl who just wants to feel accepted as an American. This is a deeply personal film that digs into your insecurities and exposes the twisted realities of a fractured identity. I have made this movie in the hopes that by exposing my wounds as a Chinese Australian woman, I can help others heal their own self-doubt.”<\/p>\n

Check out the poster and X posts below, and let us know what you think in the comments.<\/p>\n

The Regal Mystery Movie was #Slanted<\/a> and it was easily the wokest drivel I have ever seen in my life. Ever. I mean I don\u2019t want it making money but I want you all to see it. You\u2019ll never believe me if I describe it. I swear to you, you\u2019ve never seen woke this bad.<\/p>\n

#Slanted<\/a> is twisted, unsettling, cautionary tale of self-acceptance and the cost of trying to be someone else. Amy Wang uses genre storytelling to capture a lived experience that resonates deeply with brilliant performances by Shirley Chen and Mckenna Grace in the dual lead role. pic.twitter.com\/7H6WAsiaY0<\/a><\/p>\n

Body horror satire #Slanted<\/a>, from #AmyWang<\/a> has Mean Girls\/Carrie\/The Substance vibe. Asian teen gets surgery to look like blonde prom queen.

#Slanted<\/a> is one of the best films of the year so far. Amy Wang weaves an incredibly well-observed & emotionally powerful sci-fi\/horror parable about belonging, racial injustice & class. Shirley Chen & Mckenna Grace playing the same character is so much more than a gimmick! pic.twitter.com\/oUFe9aUTnF<\/a><\/p>\n

If you can’t beat them, be them. Watch the trailer for director Amy Wang’s SLANTED, a razor-sharp blend of satire, sci-fi, and body horror where the face card is lowkey lethal.

Joan Huang idolizes the popular girls and dreams of being prom queen, but fears the only way to win is to look exactly like all the past queens whose portraits line her high school halls. Enter Ethnos: a mysterious cosmetic surgery clinic that makes people of color appear white. Joan undergoes the procedure and wakes up a beautiful blonde destined for the crown, but at what cost? <\/p>\n

Blending sharp satire, sci-fi, and body horror, and starring Shirley Chen (D\u00ecdi), Mckenna Grace (Regretting You), and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (Never Have I Ever), Slanted proves that identity is never only skin-deep.<\/p>\n

Slanted is written and directed by Amy Wang, making her feature\u00a0debut. The movie is\u00a0produced by Mark Ankner, Cameron Boling, Adel Nur, Trevor Wall, Amy Wang. Slanted is set to release\u00a0in select US theaters starting March 13th, 2026.<\/p>\n
