Take courage as you watch the trailer for Honey Bunch, which looks like A Cure for Wellness filtered through a 1970s paranoid thriller.
The film follows Diana, who wakes from a coma with fragmented memories. Her husband takes her to an experimental trauma facility deep in the wilderness, but she can’t remember why.
As her memories begin to creep back in, so do some unwelcome sinister truths about her marriage.
The psychological sci-fi horror slow-burner premieres February 13 on Shudder. It’ll also hit theaters in Canada on January 23 via Elevation Pictures.
Violation duo Dusty Mancinelli and Madeleine Sims-Fewer write and direct the Canada-UK co-production.
Grace Glowicki (“Strawberry Mansion”), Ben Petrie (BlackBerry), Jason Isaacs (“The White Lotus”), Kate Dickie (The Witch), India Brown (“Invasion”), and Julian Richings (Cube) star.
Honey Bunch premiered at last year’s Berlin International Film Festival and went on to play the likes of the Toronto International Film Festival, Fantastic Fest, Brooklyn Horror Film Fest, and BFI London Film Festival.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of TIFF, “It’s as ambitious as it is weird, making for one unpredictable foray into sci-fi horror weirdness with a sticky-sweet center.”
