Inspired by true events, it tells a story of fifteen-year-old Layla, who sets up the boy in love with her to be killed. When Troy discards her, Layla is left in ruins. She vows to rebuild herself as a hardened player in order to win him back and Shaun becomes a pawn in her game. Soon the forces she has set in motion are escalating out of control. The first UK urban drama seen from a girl's point of view, HONEYTRAP is authentically local in its setting but universal in its themes of passion, jealousy and revenge. We have not seen a character like Layla take centre-stage before and it's time her story to be told.

| HeyUGuysJon LyusHoneytrap is the outstanding debut feature from director Rebecca Johnson. A coming of age tale with a brutal edge that simply must be seen. |
| The ListEmma SimmondsThis is a little film with a lot of power. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawJohnson paints a picture of abuse, machismo and paranoia, mixing true-crime, urban-realist melodrama with a photolove nightmare. |
| Movie TalkJason BestWriter-director Rebecca Johnson gives a fresh, female perspective on urban gang crime with this debut feature and gets a beguiling lead performance from Skins' actress Sula. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[B]rilliant and necessary... a difficult, upsetting film, quite harrowing in its unflinching look at the everyday horrors of ordinary lives. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonDespite a strong central performance this is undermined somewhat by melodramatic plotting and gauche characterisation. |
| User ReviewSusan (Sue) MRebecca Johnson was impressive in the directing of this film. This movie contains so much power as it shows the main character Layla desperately looking to fit in. She helps to paint this picture through abuse and paranoia. Furthermore, it shows her downfall as she constantly succumbs to peer pressure. If you're looking for a captivating movie to watch, you should give this film a shot. |
| User Reviewsamantha bThis movie is one of the BEST movies I have EVER seen.... Left me in tears.... I 100% recommend it.... Please please please go watch it.... You can watch it on Netflix, just search Honeytrap and you'll find it |
| User Reviewamirah athe girl was beautiful but she was abandoned by her mom and molested by her grandfather which made her incapable of loving a decent man because we accept the love we think we deserve and her capacity for love was minimized before she knew what love meant. throughout the movie she was abused mentally, emotionally, and physically. she attempted suicide and contemplated it daily. this movie was so sad and complex and I can't even digest it. #shook |
| User ReviewDaniel PA captivating lead performance and an all too real situation elevate a somewhat underwritten script, but the director and actors are ones to watch. |
