Honeydew, the acclaimed backwoods horror from Dark Star Pictures and Bloody Disgusting, is being served to audiences everywhere on VOD and Digital HD next Tuesday, April 13th.
AITH shared a brand new clip from the horror film that’s more arthouse than brutal slasher, but still calls back to Tobe Hooper’s Texas Chain Saw Massacre. In the footage, Sawyer Spielberg, son of director Steven Spielberg, investigates a large crate, only to be attacked from behind.
“Honeydew tells the story of a young couple (played by Sawyer Spielbergand 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.”
Written and directed by Devereux Milburn, Nerdist called Honeydew “a hallucinogenic nightmare of a movie.”
“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.
