Honeydew

A really awful psychological horror yarn. A couple find themselves stranded at a remote farmhouse occupied by a crazy old lady and her weirdo son. Some tremendously poor editing scuppers this effort early on, and then it becomes apparent that there's very little story so that the whole thing starts to get laboured and overblown, pointless persisting to the non-climax.

Don't get fooled by the thumbnails or the posters. This movie is extremely slow and not at all cohesive. It introduces different story lines which does not point towards a common closure. You are always left with wanting some more explanation. Don't get swayed by the Spielberg in the cast.

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.

D. A. R. E. To resist the movie Honeydew.

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.

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.
