Did you save room for dessert?
We are heading into the new year with a feast of projects, including our collaboration with the awesome Dark Star Pictures, who is behind tons of great films including PVT CHAT, Koko-Di Koko-Da, Jumbo, Attack of the Demons, Dirty God, and Climate of the Hunter.
This past Saturday night, as part of the special invite-only Dark Star Virtual Film Fest, it was revealed that Bloody Disgusting and Dark Star have acquired the gross-out horror midnighter Dementia Part II and will release it this spring/summer.
Today, we look forward to the festival hit Honeydew, which calls back to classics like Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Honeydew, which Nerdist called “a hallucinogenic nightmare of a movie”, tells the story of a young couple (played by Sawyer Spielberg and Malin Barr) who are forced to seek shelter in the home of an aging farmer (Barbara Kingsley) and her peculiar son, when they suddenly begin having strange cravings and hallucinations taking them down a rabbit hole of the bizarre.
Set for release this spring, the acclaimed backwoods horror feature, written and directed by Devereux Milburn, boasts the acting debut of Sawyer Spielberg, son of director Steven Spielberg(!), with Malin Barr and Barbara Kingsley.
Today, Collider was kind enough to share the first footage in the form of a teaser trailer. I hope you saved room for dessert because we’ve cooked up quite the disturbing feast!
Honeydew will be in limited theaters on March 12, 2021, before arriving on all VOD platforms and Digital HD April 13, 2021.
“Honeydew is built around a sort of modern-day Hansel and Gretel narrative that follows two relatively opposite lovers through a strange and dark rural landscape, which offers the more seeking of the two an opportunity to veer off the course and follow his impulses without judgment or consequences—or so he thinks,” Milburn tells us.
Originally set to screen at Tribeca prior to its cancelation, Honeydew ended up having its World Premiere at the Nightstream Film Festival where Bloody Disgusting’s Meagan Navarro reviewed the film, calling it an “idiosyncratic and deranged backwoods voyage.”
She added: “…for those willing to take an insane trip to a hallucinatory and hellish night of terror, Honeydew makes for one depraved mood piece full of warped humor and shocking violence.”
Slashfilm also wrote that Honeydew is “sinister, shocking, and unlike its title, far from sweet.”
Devereux Milburn was awarded “Best Director” out of the UK FrightFest premiere.
