Blood Honey

A young woman visits her childhood place to look after her sick father, and an old dark wounds start to come up. Blood Honey is Ok Drama, wouldn't call it Horror, because it isn't.

Why the hell did some of the critiques not give this a better review??? I am so happy I ignored those, they really missed the mark on this one. It's a great film. The characters are compelling, the cinematography is exceptional, and the director Jeff Kopas did an awesome job crafting a roller coaster of a story.

Blood Honey is not a horror let's be clear on that, it's a relatively competently made thriller.

It tells the story of an estranged girl who returns home to see her dying father and becomes embroiled in a conspiracy regarding the inheritance of his island and family business.

Everyone on board does a decent job, it looks the part and the mostly unknown cast do a great job so why is it not rated higher?

Well, because the whole thing is a tad muddled. Don't get me wrong it's not a bad movie, not even close but it has moments that simply weren't necessary it has plot holes and it has a highly ambiguous finale.

Blood Honey is an entertaining enough watch with some interesting twists but it simply doesn't meet its potential due to some curious writing decisions.

The Good:

Looks great

Fairly interesting

The Bad:

Some weird writing

Questionable ending

It was the movie's cover that initially lured me into picking up the 2017 movie "Blood Honey". And seeing that it was a horror movie of sorts, that I hadn't already seen, much less actually heard about, of course I opted to give the movie a chance. So writers Jeff Kopas and Doug Taylor had every opportunity to entertain and impress me.

The narrative in the movie was a bit of a swing and a miss in terms of properly entertaining me. Now, I am not saying that it was a badly written story or anything, but the narrative was simply too slow paced and devoid of anything thrilling or interesting to entertain me. And that made sitting through 95 minutes of watching the movie somewhat of an ordeal.

The acting performances in the movie were good. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble, except for Gil Bellows.

I wasn't particularly impressed with this movie, because it was simply too dull and mundane for my liking. There wasn't enough drive to the narrative. But I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as "Blood Honey", because it definitely wasn't a bad movie.

And the ending of the movie was an absolute dumpster fire of a joke. It was so ridiculous.

My rating of director Jeff Kopas's 2017 movie "Blood Honey" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Boring! This movie drags it feet so much that it becomes unwatchable. It's a great movie to watch if you can't sleep!
