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.

The pathetic thing is that this movie reminds me of at least one relationship I've had. That's sad! It's a well-acted, fun little genre flick that doles out clues as to its meaning nicely throughout.

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.

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.

I actually really liked Honeymoon. 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 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
