Trailer:

Honeydew (2020) is a disturbing and surreal horror film that takes viewers deep into the heart of isolation, madness, and the grotesque unknown. Directed by Devereux Milburn, this nightmarish journey follows a young couple whose road trip takes a terrifying turn when they seek shelter in the wrong place.

The film begins with Sam and Rylie, a couple traveling through rural America, only to experience car trouble that leaves them stranded in a desolate area. As night falls, they find refuge at the home of an elderly woman named Karen and her quiet, unsettling son, Gunni. At first, the hospitality seems harmless, if a bit odd, but something about the atmosphere feels off. Strange food, eerie conversations, and Karen’s peculiar behavior hint at something much darker lurking beneath the surface.

As the night progresses, the couple realizes they are trapped in a waking nightmare. Their bodies and minds begin to deteriorate, succumbing to an inexplicable force that seems tied to the bizarre food they’ve been given. What starts as an uncomfortable dinner turns into a terrifying descent into psychological torment, cannibalistic horror, and inescapable doom.

With a suffocating atmosphere, unsettling cinematography, and performances that crawl under the skin, Honeydew (2020) delivers a slow-burning terror reminiscent of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Hereditary. It’s a horror experience that lingers long after the credits roll, making audiences question what they’ve just witnessed.
