Review of Honeymoon (2014) by Horcrux2007 — 24 Jun 2015
I walked into this movie completely blind. 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.
