I wish the film withheld more information from its audience to raise the overall tension but it’s a solid genre pic, made so primarily by two entirely committed performances from its talented leads. Read full review

Honeymoon is a microbudgeted horror movie that achieves some genuinely shivery moments. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleSep 11, 2014
The gory final act can't help but be an explanatory letdown after so much enigmatic fizz, but that's little bother when the rest of "Honeymoon" delivers a steady dose of newlywed nightmare. Read full review

The thematic weight drags down the tension, yet just when it seems Janiak has forgotten the scares she pulls off a creepy finale. Read full review

Time Out LondonNigel FloydSep 23, 2014
Janiak has succeeded in making what she calls ‘an elevated genre story’, yet much of its frightening psychological ambiguity is erased by a disappointingly conventional ending. Read full review
