In his latest interview/podcast, host and screenwriter Stuart Wright talks to John Mehrmann about how he made the skin crawling, atonal at time, film score for Devereux Milburn’s directorial feature debut and a brilliant piece of genre cinema that is Honeydew.
For Sam and Rylie an idyllic camping trip becomes an out of control nightmare. Seeking shelter on a local farm overnight when their car encounters trouble on the road, the couple find themselves at the mercy of an ageing farmer and her peculiar son. The kindness of strangers is always welcome but soon that kindness descends into hallucinogenic fuelled madness as their host begins to show her true colours… when the crops fail and the land is barren there’s only one thing left to eat and that’s a juicy lawn pig.
The Honeydew score is available to stream or buy now on Amazon and Apple Music.

Actor Sawyer Spielberg has opened up on how his father Steven Spielberg's directing skills helped him get up for school.
"When I was a teenager, I had a hard time getting up for school and one morning he came in and he said, 'Okay, I'm a director, you're an actor, I'm going to barge into your room and I'm going to say action. And you have to get up, brush your teeth and head down for breakfast'. Sure enough, he came in, he said, 'Action', and I got up, brushed my teeth and came down for breakfast and it worked!" Sawyer told host Drew Barrymore on the "The Drew Barrymore Show".
"So, his directing skills have worked in both the cinema and at home," added the actor on Barrymore's chat show that airs on Zee Cafe in India.

Tomorrow, Devereux Milburn’s feature film debut, Honeydew, is set to infect VOD and Digital platforms with its twisted tale of rural horror, courtesy of Dark Star Pictures and Bloody Disgusting. Recently, Daily Dead had the opportunity to speak with Milburn, and he discussed how the project came about, how aspects of its story reflect his own real-life experiences, collaborating with his cast on Honeydew, and more.
Read on for the lowdown on Honeydew and be sure to check out the film tomorrow once it makes its digital debut.
Great to speak with you, Devereaux. I'd love to start off at the beginning and talk a little bit about what inspired the madness behind this movie, because it is very unsettling. I'm a big fan of rural horror, and I’d love to hear what inspired the story of Honeydew.

It’s comforting to see the words “bizarre” and “absurd” in the press notes and director’s statement for Devereux Milburn’s Honeydew because they prove that he understands what he’s created. When a film exudes such a self-serious tone despite possessing so many odd idiosyncrasies and wild leaps of narrative coincidence, it’s easy to think you’re laughing at the whole rather than with it. Reading those words therefore allows us to know that the artist was fully aware of that incongruous juxtaposition. It might have even been his intent as a way to mirror the similarly opposed forces of the leads he’s trapped within. Rylie (Malin Barr) is pragmatic and cautious. Sam (Sawyer Spielberg) is impulsive and reckless. Their on-screen frustration therefore matches our own as mounting clichés combat intrigue.
While the former ultimately far outweighs the latter, that’s not the case at the start.

A pair of city slickers find predictable trouble in deepest New England – but Devereux Milburn’s shocker has an atmospheric edge
A first feature from director of short films Devereux Milburn, co-written by Milburn and the film’s cinematographer-producer Dan Kennedy, this is a stylised, unsettling horror jaunt that plays interesting variations on an all-too-familiar plot premise. Sam and Riley, a good-looking couple in their 20s, played respectively by Sawyer Spielberg and Malin Barr, takes the always foolish decision to leave the safety of the city for a camping trip. In this case, they elect to pitch their tent somewhere in rural New England because Riley is working on a doctoral thesis about a (fictitious) fungal infection in wheat that causes gangrene and madness in cows and people.
However, they soon get run off their campsite by the local farmer (Stephen D’Ambrose), and a flat car battery forces them to...

Those who expected more outright terror from a young couple’s sojourn in a middle-of-nowhere farmhouse from hell in “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” may find something to love about Devereux Milburn’s first feature “Honeydew.” Adrift in the twilight zone between the “Hansel and Gretel” fairytale and “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” this gross-out, slow-dripping, arthouse horror siphons dread out of deadpan places. “Honeydew” sure , unsure of what it wants to say even when it’s saying whatever that is loudly.
That could be attributed to Milburn’s background as a music video and short film director, because “Honeydew” feels like a germ of an idea distended to feature length. Steven Spielberg’s son Sawyer Spielberg makes his feature acting debut as Sam, one half of a desultory couple opposite Malin Barr as Rylie. She’s a PhD student chasing her thesis in botany, whose study of the decaying farmlands...

"You're on my property!" Dark Star + Bloody Disgusting have revealed a disgusting new red band trailer for the horror film Honeydew, marking the feature directorial debut of Devereux Milburn. The film originally premiered at the Tribeca + Nightstream Film Festivals last year. Honeydew tells the story of a young couple who are forced to seek shelter in the home of an aging farmer (and her peculiar son), when they suddenly begin having strange cravings and hallucinations taking them down a rabbit hole of the bizarre. This stars Sawyer Spielberg in his first role, Malin Barr, Barbara Kingsley, Stephen D'Ambrose, and Jamie Bradley. Nerdist calls the film "a hallucinogenic nightmare of a movie." It doesn't seem so bad in the first half, but then it gets extra freaky as it goes on. Until you see his stomach and then, oh shit. Tread carefully.

Los Angeles-based Dark Star Pictures has acquired the North American distribution rights to the festival midnighter Dementia Part II as part of their exciting collaboration with horror leader Bloody Disgusting, the companies announced Monday morning.
Taken from the pages of Sam Raimi, and delivering absurd gross-out humor and nonstop mayhem, the making of Dementia Part II came out of a dare from Chicago’s Cinepocalype Film Festival and the movie’s producers Jd Lifshitz and Raphael Margules. The two must produce a feature-length midnight movie from concept to finished product in one month so that it could make its World Premiere on the last night of the film festival. The film turned out to be Dementia Part II, a tongue-in-cheek sequel to Mike Testin’s 2015 original film.

It's a controversial theory, but many scholars have argued that ergotism - poisoning caused by a fungus which grows on rye - was behind numerous cases of supposed witchcraft in centuries past, including the infamous Salem witch trials. Alongside other symptoms, it can cause convulsions, hallucinations, mania and delirium. There is no ergot in Devereux Milburn's film but a similar, fictional fungus - sordico - is said to have been found in the region where the story takes place, with heroine Rylie (Malin Barr) dispatched to study it.
Travelling with Rylie is her partner Sam, an actor who is trying to get to grips with a script. Each in a separate world due to their focus on work, they lose their way on a trip through the country and can find nobody helpful to provide them with directions. When night falls and they're politely but firmly...
