The Worst Film Ever

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

HoneymoonThe scrutiny begins way too early (which is always good if the feature hits hard and fast) and is chewed off through the whole course of it (which is short and works on its favor) until few minutes before the drapes drop that results into coming off as a bit of a hoax for everything nullifies to zero in the end. The screenplay writer-director Leigh Janiak seems like a promising director with enough potential to hold the audience on their edge of the seat. Rose Leslie is decent on performance level along with Harry Treadaway who too is okayish on keeping the objective clear. Honeymoon is a jaw dropping thriller that completely relies upon writing and if it would have had better editing and smarter approach to the concept, the feature would have easily joined the major league.

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerFirst off, the story is great. It starts off a little slow but it builds up the mysterious tension and unnerving suspense. The ending is the best part of the film.The acting is okay. Rose Leslie and Harry Treadaway do a good job but some of the dialogue lines are weak and some scenes just feel scripted.The pacing in the beginning is very slow. The film ends on a high note. The ending left me stunned and motionless. Pros: Interesting story, amazing ending, no explanation to any of the events, and okay actingCons: Very slow pacing, some dodgy dialogue, some scenes that felt scripted, to many sex scenes and just okay actingOverall Rating: 6.6

Well it starts of newly weds in a cabin ,sex sex and more sex,at one point during a night of even more sex ,hubby wakes up and finds his bride in the woods looking like she's just had more sex.anyway not much else happens they try to have more sex but she is a freak who i presume had sex with an alien .sorry no plot no story yet !! She then has what looks likes a miscarriage ,hubby pulls half a ton of sausage meat out of her lady bits ,and she turns into an advert for skin cream ,there are no spoilers because there's nothing to spoil.i wouldn't recommend you eat your'e dinner while watching it because it's pretty gross ,literally another trash horror trying to shock with extreme scenes of roadkill popping out of body parts.to sum it up it's a pile of trash.

'Honeymoon' really reminded me of a few Roman Polanski films like 'Repulsion' and 'Rosemary's Baby'. 'Honeymoon' like most well made and thematically deep psychological horror films,tries to address real- life issues by using generic tropes and distinctive cinematic horror elements. In this case, very believable and tangible marital issues and concerns are addressed by director Leigh Janiak and her co-writer Phil Graziadei.One of the very important reasons why 'Honeymoon' works is because of the way Janiak takes her time to set up and convey the sweet and tender love between Bea and Paul. She uses a beautiful opening credits sequence of Bea and Paul giving talking head style interviews for their wedding video interspersed with shots of the road during their drive to the honeymoon spot symbolising the journey they have made together in life. There is an extended unbroken long take inside the cottage where Bea introduces the different rooms to Paul and it's a beautiful and sweet sequence again underlying the sweet nature of their relationship. It's only because we believe the love between them, that we feel uneasy when things start falling apart. There is a connection between 'Honeymoon' and Polanski's 'Repulsion' in the way that both Bea and Paul start becoming more and more paranoid upon realising that they might not be completely ready for every concern and expectation that comes along with marital life which is similar to Carole's paranoia in 'Repulsion' which was borne out of her inability to cope with adulthood, sexuality and the male gaze because she was still a young child at heart and the mental disintegration takes place in somewhat of a similar fashion in both these films. The paranoia forces both Bea and Paul to change and neither of them like the changed new individuals that the other becomes on this post-marriage honeymoon trip. But 'Honeymoon' also shares a connection with Andrzej Żuławski's 'Possession' in the way it externalises marital problems in very visceral and visually disturbing ways.We have two Brits - a Scottish woman(Rose Leslie) and an Englishman(Harry Treadaway) pretending to be an American couple, but they are really good and made me believe their marriage, their love, their mutual concerns and their subsequent paranoia.Leigh Janiak gets good performances out of her actors and also elevates the film with her intricate visual storytelling choices. The hand held camera helps to add to the intimacy of the relationship between Bea and Paul. This is a solid piece of work where the director makes the most out of limited resources available to her due to the low budget.
