HoneyBee (2016)

Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I'm going to level with you. This film is not without its flaws. But what it lacks in production value it more than makes up for with great casting, clever dialogue, and a well-developed story. Not everything is explained, there's no great backstory, but this is not that type of film. The story we see is enough without having to explain the history of the characters (even though we do get a little of that).What I loved about this quirky B-horror/comedy flick was the electrical chemistry of the cast (seriously, it was so fun watching them hang out), the fun 80's-style music (complete with a cameo from the GoGo's Jane Wiedlin!), and a slow-burn style story that pushes to a solid climax.

I actually didn't choose this one, my partner did, and she was kind of watching it on her own and then I just had to start watching with her (instead of doing work like I was meant to be doing). I think for us it was fun because we both figured out different things like she instantly saw things I did not and vise versa and actually I appreciated that the writer didn't just assume only braindead people would be watching, thus giving us all the answers in an easy to open box. But I still had questions, and not sure how they will be answered? I am really hoping someone starts a wikipedia page to answer it all. But this didn't ruin it the flick was fun and I loved the ending and how it wasn't all sappy-happy. I disagree that it looked like it was filmed on VHS to me I could tell this was one nice camera and I think it looked as good as the shows I watch on Netflix. Were there some kind of corny moments? Oh yeah especially with one of the actors who kind of got on my nerves but most of the acting was really good. Would I watch it again? Meh, if I were in the right mood maybe? I wouldn't spend more than $6 on it.

I had a friend who worked on the crew and I just watched this and let me tell you, as a fan of horror/comedy I had thoroughly enjoyed it. I was never bored, I don't think I got up once from watching it on my laptop which says something. I loved how it looked! I was like wow, I'm from upstate NY and this movie makes it look the most beautiful place in the world. Yet it there were dark undertones there the whole time since you know... it doesn't end well! So spoiler alert, the brothers are a LOT older than they claim to be, especially the twins who are actually the oldest and shown in an old newspaper clipping. They're basically like drones taking care of their mother, the "Queen Bee" and feeding cute girls to her so she can stay ageless. I'm never sure if she would die without feeding or if she is choosing to feed? Anyway, it was awesome and I thought completely obvious. I want to see what this Writer would do if they had a big budget!

Stumbled upon this on Amazon and thought it was a fun, campy movie. Both female leads - especially the one who played the daughter - did a good job. The five sons were all cool, though the oldest looked a littttle old for being in high school. I couldn't decide if the non-twin blonde brother was a cutie or a creepy - actually he probably played the roll perfectly. What I also liked is that I could watch this with my teenager without worrying about covering her eyes (or her trying to cover my eyes). Is this Citizen Kane? No. Is this a fun, scary movie for this time of the year (October)? Sure!
