Yellow Veil Pictures has acquired worldwide sales rights on Honeydew, THR first reported today, with the film set to begin pre-sales at this month’s European Film Market.
From director Devereux Milburn and producers Dan Kennedy and Alan Pierson, the film stars Sawyer Spielberg in his introductory role, alongside Malin Barr and Barbara Kingsley.
Honeydew is described as “a feverish horror film” set in rural New England.
Strange cravings and hallucinations befall a young couple after seeking shelter in the home of an aging farmer and her peculiar son.
Yellow Veil Pictures Co-Founder Justin Timms said in a statement, “We are thrilled to introduce Devereux Milburn’s vision to the market at this year’s EFM. With shades of De Palma’s frenetic editing and sound design brought into a modern context, Honeydew immerses you in a nightmare that is sure to satisfy all cravings for a fresh, stylish backwoods horror.”
Milburn describes the film as a “modern day Hansel and Gretel story.”
