Blood Honey, a new Canadian film, is scheduled for limited release this Friday, September 1st, in Toronto (at Cineplex Yonge Dundas Theatre), and a week later in Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa.
A psychological thriller, the movie stars bees from Dickey Bee Honey as well as a Canadian cast and director. Sounds like a perfect cinematic get-away this long weekend.
