I wasn't familiar with the movie "Honeymoon" prior to finding it by sheer random luck. I read through the synopsis and it sounded like something that could prove interesting. And the movie also had Rose Leslie in it, and that could prove to be a plus.Right, well, I managed to endure 40 minutes of this ordeal of a movie. And nothing of any worth or interest happened in that 40 minutes, so I just gave up on the movie out of sheer and utter boredom."Honeymoon" has a very small cast, so they had to perform quite well in order to carry the movie and they did nicely enough. But they had nothing to work with in terms of script or storyline.This was a very uneventful and very boring movie.I have absolutely no intention of returning to watch the rest of the movie, because there was zero appeal in this movie for me.
... View MorePaul (Harry Treadaway) and Bea (Rose Leslie) are newlyweds. The film initially builds their character though their wedding tape. Bea is a delightful person and fun to be around, but is challenged in the kitchen. They honeymoon in a semi-remote lake home that her family owns. The film shows us that they are a typical couple and then things start out slowly...a passing light in the window... "bad" wiring. The film builds slowly until you have an intense ending.This is not the best film in the genre...and I won't mention the genre because what is happening is part of the mystery...that is not too hard to figure out. Rose Leslie gives us a strong performance, the main strength of the film which include some formula writing and attempts of being clever.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex (it is called "Honeymoon") brief nudity.
... View MoreAt first I liked the movie. It had lots of suspense, great acting, etc. But the ending was one of the worst endings I have ever seen. To make a long story short, this movie is about a man and a woman who get married and go on a honeymoon. The woman gets abducted by aliens, not without killing her husband first. The woman essentially dies before she adopts the personality of an alien, or something like that. Don't watch it if you like horrible stories and horrible endings.
... View MoreHONEYMOON is a dreadful low budget US horror film about marital strife which becomes pronounced when the wife undergoes a mysterious transformation after encountering something in the woods. Although both characters are supposed to be American, they're played by British actors in the form of Harry Treadaway and Rose Leslie.This is the film's main fault. Treadaway and Leslie in particular really struggle with their American accents which sounded false to this British viewer. I couldn't believe them for a second, and the lack of believability thus makes this a real chore to sit through. It doesn't help that the film is full of lovey dovey stuff for the first half and then characters screaming at each other for the second. So vomit inducing followed by headache inducing, then.The film is padded out with endless conversations and sex scenes which add nothing to the plot. When the horror arises, it's very predictable, so the film-makers concentrate on the gross-out rather than genuinely horrific. Some scenes in this came close to making me feel queasy, and the end result is ultimately depressing. Add that the characters are truly obnoxious (Leslie is extremely uncomfortable and a long way from filling her role like she did in GAME OF THRONES while Treadaway has a truly obnoxious character) and you have a film that is, in a word, dreadful.
