Blood Honey

This is my first "review" on here. But, I started to watch this and checked the IMDB score and I'm thinking "how" - it's a 4 or so at most. Typical B class movie. Yes, good acting and good try with the story line. But it just felt unfinished and empty.

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.

Just rubbish. I what he'd this as it had a 7.5 rating...but only because it's obviously been hyped. I don't care if films are a bit cheesy or whatever, I just want entertaining. It wasn't. The highlight appears to be when the main character gets it on with some bloke who just appears in order to buy her place, and they both end up covered in honey. Oh yeah, and blood honey is a pun on blood money. Clever eh.rE

The good reviews must be fake. I can't remember when I've seen such a bad movie from top to bottom. It was excruciating watching it. The acting was ludicrous. Even Gil (who played the dad) was struggling and over the top for apparently no reason. Not one character was believable or likable. Flat. The cinematography was bizarre, and not in a good way. Weird camera angles just for the heck of it, and at least two times where a character suddenly started speaking directly to the camera. One of the worst scenes was when the daughter becomes the dad in the mirror and then gets berated and beaten by her dead mother. Ugh. Or, it might have been the one where she's having sex with some dude and honey starts pouring over them for no apparent reason. The sound track was a cacophony of random screeches and industrial noises mixed with random music and stereotypical "this is supposed to be scary or creepy" sounds. Tip: Having a bunch of annoying sounds bombarding your audience does not make your movie a thriller, a mystery, or a horror film. It's lazy. Don't even get me started on the idiotic plot. Girl comes home because dad is dying. It's a bee farm. Or, is it an environmental sanctuary? A resort? Why do the people who live nearby all just walk into the home and sit down, start drinking or cooking? Is it a lodge? She has an angry brother and a Down's Syndrome sister. Dad kills himself by bee stings after making the daughter promise not to sell the property.The people look a little sinister. She starts having stupid hallucinations of the type you used to see in bad 70s "thrillers", and thinks she's being poisoned. She takes off in a water plane (because of course she knows how to fly a plane) with her sister and the crash. She wakes up tied to a bed and is told her sister died. Surprise! It ends up that she's actually just crazy, her sister died years ago, and so she and her sister poison everyone else. The end. Yawn. Whoever wrote that 10/10 review should be ashamed of themselves. I hope they got paid well.

Actually a decent thriller. The honey theme is not that common in movies, but overall it brings nothing new to the table, an obligatory twist ending is included as well. But it's filmed nicely and overall made in a way that it engages you to watch it fully. The main lead is cute and her acting is great, she also makes this movie memorable. All male characters are really disgusting, though.

What a waste of time. Whoever wrote the script is a waste of space. Stupid and unclear. Pointless. One of the worst movies known to man.

As a child, Jenibel (Shenae Grimes-Beech) watches her mother do a swan dive off the water tower, She is sent away to school from the archipelago where her family operates a lodge and makes honey fermented liquor. With her father (Gil Bellows) facing death, Jenibel returns home (seaplane only way to island) to forgive her father who she blames for her mother's death. Jenibel has reality issues and sees things which we don't know if they are real or not as she is haunted by the past. It was an interesting film with a twist that has been done before, some better some worse, but the clues are subtle. Guide: Sex and nudity (body double most likely)

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.
