What to Know

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. Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Tomris Laffly 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 Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Christy Lemire 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. Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Cody Dericks 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 Jul 11, 2022 Full Review David Gonzalez 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 Apr 22, 2022 Full Review Nicholas Yap In Review Online Honeydew is the latest effort to angle toward the elevated horror label without providing much substance to this framework.

Tom T Actually a fan of the way this was shot. It’s just too slow, too long and way too boring to be remotely good. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Melissa L Very creepy with a "Midsommar" kind of vibe. I cannot recommend it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review Raye L 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/08/23 Full Review Andrew Joe D I enjoyed this film. The cinematography is really atmospheric and there's a lot of tension. It was also engaging and very scary! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Chelsea T 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 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
