Mckenna Grace & Shirley Chen Star in Body Horror Movie Slanted Trailer

Bleecker Street has shared the official trailer for Slanted, its new body horror comedy led by Emmy nominee Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire) and Shirley Chen (Dìdi). The movie is set to arrive in theaters on March 13, 2026.

“In the film, Joan Huang idolizes the popular girls and dreams of being prom queen, but fears the only way to win is to look like all the past queens whose portraits line her high school halls. Enter Ethnos: a shady cosmetic surgery clinic that makes people of color appear white,” reads the official synopsis. “Joan undergoes the procedure and wakes up a beautiful blonde destined for the crown, but at what cost? Blending sharp satire, sci-fi, and body horror proves that identity is never only skin-deep.”
