Honeydew

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.

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.

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.

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.

First act is interesting and I really expected this to be a 6/10 movie but it falls apart after roughly 45 minutes. I understand what were they going for with the atmosphere and the soundtrack etc. And it would've worked! If there was a better story/execution.

Protagonists have a very strange relationship which isn't elaborated on a lot so they're not likable as a couple at all. Despite that, I found myself liking them as individuals and rooting for them.

Grandma is creepy and the movie has that weird kind of aura all around but unfortunately it's not the good kind of weird since it leads to nothing in the end.

There was a lot of potential here. It's a common theme this year for directors to ruin horror films with second and third act for whatever reason. There were no memorable scenes or even good ones that I can recall.

Didn't like the ending.

Overall, it was somewhat interesting and I wasn't bored but it profoundly lacked layers of the story and most of all, decent scenes. 4/10.
