Watch Blood Honey For Free

Pretty Good

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Blistering performances.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

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)

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.

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 greatFairly interestingThe Bad:Some weird writingQuestionable endingThings I Learnt From This Movie:Mass bee stings seems like an overly unpleasant method of suicide

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.
