Horror films focusing on alien intruders can often only be so effective, and while Honeymoon isn't a complete success, the lead performances and Leigh Janiak's direction manage to elevate a story that would be otherwise dismissed.

Leigh Janiak creates a film that's quite visually disturbing at times, ensuring you'll squirm by the end, but it is also heavy with despair and desperation.

| Feb 6, 2020

Deconstructing a relationship thanks to over-zealous paranoia...an intriguing story fueled by doubt and uncertainty, hesitancy and fear, while creating suspense and tension with a sinister slow burn.

| Dec 14, 2019

One of those rarely effective offbeat psychological thrillers, utilizing a simple premise and indie framework for maximum potential.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 9, 2019

Eschewing jump-scares and shouty-bang-bang, Honeymoon is successfully gripping as it weaves towards an enigmatic truth. Credit to Leslie and Treadaway for their newlyweds in love, in doubt, in shock, in despair.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 25, 2019

Whilst the film's conclusion might feel abrupt and a little too ambiguous for some, there's no denying that Honeymoon's insular world of youthful self-absorption and marital disentanglement leaves a lasting impression.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 3, 2019

Honeymoon is edgy, atmospheric, and perceptively smart in its low-key, hair-raising commentary on marital isolation and alienation.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 10, 2018

This movie really could have been great. It had all the right tools at it's disposal. Unfortunately, the storyline took an odd turn that left me scratching my head.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 3, 2018

Honeymoon builds suspense at an easy pace, but does so effectively. When

As a horror film, Honeymoon is a rare intellectual work.

Honeymoon is a mature film, in which karma packs a real punch.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 26, 2016

...an atmospheric and occasionally frightening chiller that ultimately doesn't quite add up to much.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 5, 2015

Covers a lot of emotional and intellectual terrain for such an unassuming and modest indie horror film, and that's only part of what makes it so impressive.

| Aug 23, 2015

A skin-crawling thriller without compromise, "Honeymoon" is unpleasant, whip-smart and mesmerizing.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 12, 2015

Janiak does find a great deal of success turning that dreamy romance on its head, plunging her leads into a nightmarish scenario and ensuring you'll never forget what happened to them.

| Jan 5, 2015

If it was presented with even a glimmer of postmodern irony it might have had more of an impact, possibly even been engaging, but it's all presented utterly straight.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 5, 2015

A decent addition to the cabin in the woods subgenre, but look a little closer and this has more in common with Blue Valentine than it does The Evil Dead.

| Jan 5, 2015

For those who have ever nursed suspicions that the answer is "not enough," Honeymoon will inspire chills much more bone-deep than the ones provoked by, say, some poltergeist flinging around chairs.

The superior character set-up brings to mind Jim Mickle and Nick Damici's debut Zombie Virus On Mulberry Street, which certainly bodes well.
