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.

Rose Leslie is absolutely fantastic in the lead role, and Harry Treadaway does a nice job in supporting her. Expand

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.

9.1/10

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.
