HONEYDEW Review – A Few Great Moments with Slow Pacing In Between Read Pat King's review of Devereux Milburn's gruesome backwoods nightmare HONEYDEW with Sawyer Spielberg and Malin Barr By Pat King Written by Dan Kennedy, Devereux Milburn Directed by Devereux Milburn Honeydew is, sadly, one of those films where nearly everything that’s interesting is in the trailer. It’s a shame, really, because the movie features some genuinely tense moments and some beautifully-rendered cinematography. If they could have tightened this thing up in the editing room, it might have worked. But the truth is that it’s eye-glazingly dull for most of its runtime.
