If you’re looking for a Valentine’s weekend watch that’s more “chilling” than “romantic,” Shudder has you covered. The acclaimed filmmaking duo Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli are back with their second feature, Honey Bunch.
A Marriage Under the Microscope
The film follows Diana, who wakes from a coma with only fragmented, fuzzy memories. In a desperate bid to get her life back, she and her husband head to a remote, high-tech facility for some experimental treatments. But as the procedures get more intense, the “healing” process starts to feel a lot more like a nightmare. Diana begins to suspect that her husband’s motives might not be as loving as they seem, turning their marriage into a high-stakes psychological battleground.
The Team Behind the Terror
Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli are the creative force here—they wrote, directed, and produced the film. If you saw their debut feature, Violation, you know they don’t pull any punches. That film was a NY Times Critic’s Pick and swept awards at major festivals like TIFF and Sundance.
The cast for Honey Bunch is equally impressive, featuring Grace Glowicki, Ben Petrie, Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter, The OA), and Katie Dickie (Game of Thrones, The Witch).
If you’re looking for a trippy blend of Horror, Thriller, and Sci-Fi, Honey Bunch is the film for you! You won’t even have to leave your couch to watch it; it makes its streaming debut on February 13, 2026, exclusively on Shudder! Just a heads up, the trailer features strobe effects.
