Critics Consensus

Atmospheric horror built on layers of creeping dread, Honeydew finds fresh frights in its familiar setup -- and portends great things for writer-director Devereux Milburn.

Nick Schager

The Daily Beast

Has an appetite for the grisly, not to mention a thing or two to say about venturing into the middle of nowhere-and taking a bite out of morsels that come from unknown origins.

RogerEbert.com

This listless genre exercise mostly plays like a film-school-spun tribute to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre with some Hansel and Gretel clumsily mixed in, but without a political or philosophical foundation to stand on.

Rated: 1/4

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

There is such specific, strange, and disturbing imagery here. It is so haunting. You will laugh just to relieve the tension.

Next Best Picture

"Honeydew" is a nasty little movie that starts as an unnerving throwback to foundational horror filmmaking but ends up devolving into a bleak pile of nothing.

Rated: 5/10

The Cinematic Reel

Though the film offers intriguing questions and a plot setup, it fails in its execution with a bloated runtime and disappointed vagueness that makes the film a mess.

Rated: 2.5/4

Honeydew is the latest effort to angle toward the elevated horror label without providing much substance to this framework.

Very creepy with a "Midsommar" kind of vibe. I cannot recommend it.

It just didn’t add up for me. There was just so many opportunities to leave or not be in the situations that they were in. A million red flags. Cool premise I guess but the logic doesn’t really make sense. This movie is exactly what you think it’s about from its description.

If you want to see a quality horror movie…. This is it !! An instant cult classic. Shot, Directed & Edited beautifully .. the sound mixing was especially good- and really wonderful acting all around.

I enjoyed this film. The cinematography is really atmospheric and there's a lot of tension. It was also engaging and very scary!

SPOILER. time I will never get back. awful plot. nothing redeeming about this flick. the background noise/soundtrack was irritating and a distraction. in terms of the plot, the likelihood that two elderly people are able to maim and maintain partial bodies on a farm is not likely. they managed to keep alive a head/ torso in a box with a compression suit and by feeding her cheeks. not sold. to add a gross factor they try to mate the remaining bodies. its all ridiculous and not remotely enjoyable to watch. i also dont understand the lemons

Started out ok enough but even with suspension of disbelief I cannot believe an 80yr old woman who can barely move can overpower a young man. Then again he was pretty much a vegan as was his girlfriend so I guess that explains it. Scariest part of the movie- fat drooling moaning Lena Dunham showing up. Nasty.scary. terrifying!!!!
