Summary

- Comparisons drawn to 'Lord of the Flies' and Showtime's 'Yellowjackets'
This summer, a new indie horror film called 'Honeycomb' is generating buzz. The movie is the feature debut of 22-year-old Canadian director Avalon Fast, who has already made a name for herself in the Canadian genre scene.
'Honeycomb' follows a group of girls who decide to leave their ordinary lives behind and retreat to the woods of British Columbia. Once there, they establish a strange, self-contained society with its own set of violent rituals. As the outside world comes calling, the girls struggle to maintain their bizarre new way of life.
Comparisons have been drawn between 'Honeycomb' and classic tales of societal breakdown like 'Lord of the Flies,' as well as the recent Showtime series 'Yellowjackets,' which also explores the descent of a group of girls into chaos. With its amateur cast, chunky script, and unusual visual choices, 'Honeycomb' promises to be an unsettling and thought-provoking indie horror experience.
