PLOT:

Young newlyweds Paul (Harry Treadaway) and Bea (Rose Leslie) travel to a remote lake cottage for their honeymoon, where the promise of private romance awaits them. Shortly after arriving, Paul finds Bea wandering and disoriented in the middle of the night. As she becomes more distant and her behavior increasingly peculiar, Paul begins to suspect something more sinister than sleepwalking took place in the woods.

What people are saying:

“It will leave you confused for large periods of time and the outside parts of the film have no real relevance but when Leslie and Treadway are on the screen it makes for a very effective slow building horror that you never really get to figure out. A smart horror film that depends on its cast, surroundings and cinematography more than big budget CHI or spats of excessive gore.” 3 stars

“Easily one of, if not the, worst movies of 2015. It’s acted as best as possible by Treadaway and Leslie but Leigh Janiak’s pacing is all over the place, and the script attempts to be metaphorical and human, but its ridiculousness reeks.

In layman’s terms, it’s just ass.” 1/2 star

“Loved it. I did enjoy that not EVERY SINGLE little question was answered- leaves you wondering. Dark imagery was intriguing. Only four characters also very neat angle.” 4 1/2

“Honeymoon is essentially Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, with a cast of two, set largely in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. As a low-budget film, this gets a polite round of applause for competence and for generating some decent atmosphere. As a horror film, it’s underwhelming.” 2 1/2 stars

“I was waiting…. and waiting… and waiting for something to keep my interest. I finally got a little taste of interest then the movie ended… Horribly at that. Sorry but this just didn’t do it for me.” 2 stars
