Sanguine, the feature debut from Marion Le Corroller, lands in French cinemas on October 28, 2026. Distributed by ARP Sélection, this 1h43 horror film brings together Mara Taquin, Karin Viard, Kim Higelin and Sami Outalbali.
Margot kicks off her residency in the country’s most competitive emergency rooms. As she struggles to keep up with the hospital’s speed, several patients her age are admitted with baffling symptoms. The pattern becomes increasingly alarming when her own body begins to undergo strange changes.
The film leans into the body horror trope, a mode where mutations and physical afflictions give visible form to the characters' deepest fears. Here, these transformations unfold alongside crushing professional pressure, chronic sleep deprivation, and a young doctor's struggle to find her footing in a high‑tension hospital environment.
Marion Le Corroller had previously directed several genre short films, including Dieu n’est plus médecin and Poupée fondue. For this first feature, she co-writes the screenplay with Thomas Pujol and entrusts the score to Rob.
Sanguine was unveiled at the Midnight Screening during the Cannes Film Festival 2026, a section notably devoted to genre cinema.
