Review of The Honeymoon Killers (1970) by Doctor S — 08 Dec 2009
Claims to be "fact-based" account of the con-artist couple known as The Lonely Hearts Killers during the 1940s, but only scratches the surface depicting two swindles and three murders, when they may have killed as many as twenty.
Very low-budget look lends a very effective, seedy atmosphere filmed in stark black-and-white. The murder sequences are very chilling. The criminal couple are truly awful human beings and spending 100 minutes in their company proves quite unpleasant, I might prefer watching an hourlong documentary on the History channel about their case instead.
Would get more of the facts too.
