Review of Honeydew

Honeydew (2020)
4/10
Bizarre and disturbing - but not necessarily in a good way
11 October 2021
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.
