In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

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)

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.

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.
