Una pelicula interesante, solo creo que llega hacer muy lente en ocasiones como que le dan vueltas a una sola cosa mucho. pero si te puede tener entretenido. peor es interesante la trama

I truly wasn't expecting much from this movie but it actually surprised me. It had an interesting story, good performances and an ending that leaves you speechless. I recommend this movie.

super low budget, and it shows. There is no pay off or explanation. Just leading on the audience along then ends, probably lack of budget to show anything actually cool.

It's really disturbing and leaves that deliciously bitter taste in your mouth along with a general feeling of unease. It's also one of those rare films that doesn't try to lay everything out for you but doesn't fall into obscurity either in an attempt to seem deep. Brilliant performances from both of the leads, who are relatively new faces. Just goes to show how you don't need a huge budget when you have a great script, an original horror concept and a couple of solid actors. This is a horror classic which will achieve cult status I think Expand

Honeymoon veers away from what one would traditionally expect with a horror movie. There aren't actually any scare tactics going on. Instead the movie is more concerned about messing with your mind. As a result this isn't the type of theHoneymoon veers away from what one would traditionally expect with a horror movie. There aren't actually any scare tactics going on. Instead the movie is more concerned about messing with your mind. As a result this isn't the type of the movie that's going to scare your pants off. It will, however, get you involved with it's compelling mystery.

The tension comes from the movie leaving you in the dark. Weird things are going on and due to the fantastic writing and lead performances you genuinely want to see the characters make it through this, even if they are a little grating at first (we get it, you're in love). You are actually invested in the character's fates.

That's because Rose Leslie and Harry Treadaway have some of the best chemistry I have ever witnessed, and that includes real life. Their moments together ooze genuine romance and believability. To see them at odds with one another like this hurts. Watching Leslie change from loving newlywed to mysterious stranger is incredible. Treadaway brings the heart as he tries to hold things together, but is slowly losing his grip as things begin to make less and less sense.

This is simply a fantastic story. One that leaves us in the dark to keep us on the edge of our seats. I ended up being just as desperate for answers as it's male lead. In the end it gave me just enough answers to satisfy me, but still left me with unanswered questions that I can tease my imagination with. It's the type of movie that will stay in your head long after the credits have rolled. It just goes to show that a horror movie doesn't need to actually be scary in order to be filled to the brim with tension. All it needs is a good enigma to keep viewers guessing. Honeymoon's is better than good.

In that perspective, it was a decent movie, because within the limits everything was done nicely. In fact, it was a minimal cast movie set in an isolated cabin in the woods. A simple story that is like the title, it is about a newly married couple's honeymoon. All sets off nicely to them until strange events begin to follow one after another. How the couple manages to come off of it, or do they is the rest.

I don't know others, but like I said it was not a bad movie to me. Whatever happened, it just kept me engaged throughout, because of the uptight plot. Though, it raises some questions about the events that takes place in the movie and makes to have your own imagination. In fact, my opinion in the begging was 'big foot', later very quickly I understood what it's about. The writer's notion was also the same, leaving blank space to fill by the viewers with their creative prediction.

The most of the answers answered or going to be answered are merely the same (I think). For those who won't get it, will suffer nothing except think they wasted time. The rest will probably want a sequel for a proper and further explanation. Especially a couple of dialogues made me think that way. But, I don't think so there will be one, it will stay a mystery as of now forever, if I'm not wrong. Not a scary movie nor actual violence, but the suspense was the movie's strong hold. If you're looking for that type, you can give it a try other than blood gore and killings.

5.5/10

The directorial debut of Leigh Janiak, Honeymoon is a tense, chilling little indie horror flick with adequate performances from Rose Leslie and Harry Treadaway. The film is deeply influenced by both science fiction and more demonic possession type horror films (think Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, etc.) and is not completely original, but does play around with both of these two leave you really questioning what actually happened at the end. This ambiguous ending will not work for everyone, but it really worked for me and really heightened my enjoyment of it because of the various clues left for any explanation. Overall, Janiak demonstrates a very good understanding of genre conventions and how to make a satisfyingly slow building horror film with great atmosphere and thoroughly entertaining chills. Expand

The story starts off a bit boring, but gets interesting as it progresses. The soundtrack only appears for the scary parts. There are no jump scares. The movie does one thing and it does it well - creeping the **** out of the audience.

Honeymoon features spectacular and dedicated performances from both leads. But it also possesses incredible scares with not-very-incredible but enigmatic ending.

I haven't seen a trailer, read a synopsis, or really heard of this movie today until someone recommended it to me. It ended up being a really creepy and weird movie. Honeymoon is about two newlyweds on their honeymoon, Paul and Bea, but it takes a turn for the worst when Paul finds Bea dazed and confused in the middle of the woods one night. The film's structure reminds me of Paranormal Activity or The House of the Devil; not much really happens until the final act, but when it does happen, it's crazy scary. The tension builds up very nicely for the first hour and leads to an excellent payoff. What's nice about Honeymoon is that it allows us some time to get to know the two characters before we get into the meat of the story, which always helps a horror film. It might be a little slow for some people more attuned to a constant barrage of scary faces and gore, but if you like your movies heavy on atmosphere and tension, Honeymoon is the perfect movie.

If you are a horror aficionado do yourselves a favor and completely ignore the bad reviews. These people obviously prefer big budget holly wood action flicks to real horror movies, and or they just get off on critiquing things unjustly. Whatever their deal just ignore that. This movie is not an adrenaline fueled action fest. It makes you confused, uneasy and anxious and continuously ramps up notch by notch. It is creepy as all hell. Maybe as a movie its not scream out loud scary, its something worse and more disturbing. WATCH IT! Expand

First let me say, I DO NOT like scary movies. I usually turn the sound off at the scariest parts because I'm such a wuss. Haha. BUT, I really quite enjoyed Honeymoon.

I was pulled into the story from the very beginning, and I thought the characters were played very well with incredible chemistry. The pacing was superb. The story gives enough background upfront to pull you into getting invested in this couple.

Many say that it was too easy to guess what was going to happen in the end, I felt that was not a weakness but a strength. I felt that maybe something else might happen, and not the obvious, so it kept my interest.

Newlyweds Bea (Ygritte from GameOfThrones played by Rose Leslie) and Paul (Dr. Victor Frankenstein from PennyDreadful played by Harry Treadaway decide to spend their honeymoon in a secluded cottage in suburban Canada. At first, the belovedNewlyweds Bea (Ygritte from GameOfThrones played by Rose Leslie) and Paul (Dr. Victor Frankenstein from PennyDreadful played by Harry Treadaway decide to spend their honeymoon in a secluded cottage in suburban Canada. At first, the beloved act sickeningly lovey-dovey, everything around them sings and blooms, the birds are tweeting, the bugs are doing their bugsy things, etc. BUT. One dark night, Paul out of nowhere decides to go fishing, soon he founds out that Bea is missing, she turns out in the woods, naked. From this point things start to worsen by the minute...
Overall "Honeymoon" is typical horror film, filled with cliches, stereotypes and pointless dialogue (especially lines regarding her womb and his...you know what,if you watched the movie). As well, it's one of the grossest images that I have ever seen in a movie.
It's one of that movies, that you tend to forget not long after watching them.

Der kitschige Liebesreigen bricht jedoch jäh ab, als Paul seine Frischfrau Bea schon in der zweiten Nacht verstört und zudem nackt im Wald auffindet. Flugs gehen die romantischen Flitterwochen den Bach herunter: Scheinbar grundlos pendelt Bea zwischen teilnahmslos und aggressiv, sodass Paul verzweifelt versucht, eine Ehe zu retten, die gerade erst begonnen hat. Bissspuren an Beas Oberschenkel zeigen schließlich, dass ein Eheberater hier nicht helfen kann. Regisseurin Leigh Janiak inszeniert ihr Debüt als intensives Kammerspiel – das sich später leider zum mäßig spannenden Sci-Fi-Grusler entwickelt. Expand

Honeymoon

The scrutiny begins way too early (which is always good if the feature hits hard and fast) and is chewed off through the whole course of it (which is short and works on its favor) until few minutes before the drapes drop that results into coming off as a bit of a hoax for everything nullifies to zero in the end. The screenplay writer-director Leigh Janiak seems like a promising director with enough potential to hold the audience on their edge of the seat. Rose Leslie is decent on performance level along with Harry Treadaway who too is okayish on keeping the objective clear. Honeymoon is a jaw dropping thriller that completely relies upon writing and if it would have had better editing and smarter approach to the concept, the feature would have easily joined the major league.
