MONTREAL—Disruptive Films has released the fourth and final installment of Honeyguide. The scene, titled “Clean Slate,” proves that Alaric Spence (Hoss Kado) is the master of the long game. Years after he began his chess game, he encounters Kelly Dunham (Ian Holms).
Their “chance” meeting sets in motion the final chapter of Alaric’s meticulously laid plans.
Co-director Siouxsie Q remarked, “Using the symbolism of the honeyguide bird species to underscore the brutality within the film ironically also allowed us to tap into a certain amount of compassion for the movie’s antihero, played by Hoss Kado."
“The realest fears stem from situations that could actually come true. Something that is so close to possibly happening that your body has a visceral reaction when you see the protagonist encounter the villain,” co-director Michael Vegas added.
“Ensuring that our villain remained human at the beginning of the movie is what allowed him to get closer to his victims," said Vegas. "Seeing someone so meek that would regularly be ignored do a full invasion is something we wanted to lean into, to help create a real fear of this character."
Honeyguide, in all four parts, is now streaming on the Disruptive Films channel on ASGmax.
