Think Mary Poppins, but way more messed up.

That seems to be the premise behind Mercedes Bryce Morgan's horror Spoonful of Sugar, which sees a student (Morgan Saylor) who is studying severe allergies in children take up a babysitting job with a very unusual family.

Kat Foster stars as intense mom Rebecca, Myko Olivier is dashing dad Jacob, and Danilo Crovetti plays their troubled son Johnny.

Spoonful of Sugar is coming to Shudder in 2023.
