Reviews

Michael Ledo 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)
SashaDarko 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.
vegicat 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.
Michael Daniels Boring! This movie drags it feet so much that it becomes unwatchable. It's a great movie to watch if you can't sleep!
