Honeydew

I took the word of someone on just going into this movie not knowing what it was about. Welp... I dislike this movie very much. Not to say that the acting wasn't good. They hit their marks very well. Clearly a decently funded movie, but honestly this was not worth the amount of time that it was made into. The story could have been done in 30 to 45 minutes. Doubling it truly dragged it on longer than was needed.

I thought the cinematography and sound effects lended to the movie's creepiness, but the positive aspects don't go far beyond that. Like many reviews have stated, the pace of the movie is extremely slow. I kept waiting for something to happen but I was dragged from scene to scene till the final plot reveal ...to absolutely nothing original in horror. The female lead seems to be the only one conscientious enough to realize they've landed in a f-ed up scenario and her companion just wonders about aimlessly taking in everything like, "What's the big deal?" There were elements of the film that had me wondering if there was some kind of supernatural entity at work, but those were dumb plot points that remained unanswered at the end of the film.

This movie seemed like what the Hewitt family from the TCM do in their spare time when Leatherface is nowhere to be found. It started out fine but didn't manage to hold my attention by the final act, it just felt empty.

If the director dropped all the art film oddity, this is a movie you've seen a million times before. Nothing new, nothing great. It is odd. Very odd. I suspect that is due as much to wanting to disguise it's formulaic nature as it is to directorial indulgence.

I wasted however long this movie is (not wasting my time looking it up) minutes of my life on this trash.

Yeah, it has a good premise, but the directing choices are trash, the scenes are long and drawn out without adding any substance. Plot tie-ins are stretched too thin and don't even flow properly.

It's just dumb. Really. It's a dumb movie. I did rent it, so that's a wasted $6.

Seriously, don't watch it, it's stupid.

Just say no.
