Harry Treadway but I will be definitely watching him in the years to come. There are elements of classic horror from the 70s and 80s which I found to be highly effective. I highly recommend this film, for it will sit with you for days to come.

whom I had the exciting and unexpected pleasure of holding the theater door for at the end of the evening. My friend and I stayed for the Q and A, and I was able to ask the director and co-writer what their primary influences were, as there were clearly some classic horror conventions that were paid homage to. She said the two films she was most influenced by were Polanski in general but especially Ro's Baby "oh, and by the way----there is a Devil , and the '78 version of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, which I also adore. The third film I saw as influencing it was Alien. In any case, y'all look out for this one. It's a real doozy and will put "classic"-inspired horror back on the map, thank Satan!!!!!!!

aesthetically pleasing to watch. then there's the atmosphere: young married couple in a cabin by the lake, a little flirty and childish, enjoying life. sure thats not what you expect and want from a horror film necessarily, but don't always look at things through the lense of your expectation, take it as it comes and it will grab you.its the realism and naturalism of the movie that dragged me in and kept me thrilled till the end. and oh god the foreshadowing, or should i say "fauxshadowing"? there were so many moments i thought "dang, now the horror stuff starts" and i thought i knew where it was going but no, it was different.if you're still interested in watching it, then don't look for a typical horror movie. expect an aesthetic, kinda calm and shudder inducing movie, perfect for a warm summer night with an open window. its a "feel good horror movie" if that makes any sense?little spoiler: if i hadndt been gay already, i sure wouldve been after this movie....

Music is superb, the atmosphere from the moment they reach the cabin is brilliant - all in all, a tremendous surprise, great performances and a first-time director with a distinctive voice and real vision. Horror fans, seek this film out.

certainly made her mark in Game of Thrones, and she's one to watch out for in the future. She's incredibly effective here, as is Harry Treadaway. Their chemistry is strong and it's about time we get some great acting in a horror film. This is truly well-acted and engrossing horror, not to mention actually scary. Might just be one of my favorite films the year so far

getting-under-one's skin in the process of hoping for the better for the amiable, endangered duo Leslie & Treadaway have natural chemistry and great believability as recently wed young pair . Creepy score by Heather McIntosh has just the right amount of building dread mixed with Kyle Klutz's inventive cinematography and Christopher S. Capp's sharp editing makes for a memorable turn into WTF-ville. A sleeper genre gem. Seek it out!

thanks to the excellent acting and good dialogue. And also the good use of the surroundings. Another point is that the story line is more or less original and does not follow one of the numerous stereotypes in horror film making.Its horror is more psychological, gorehounds will probably be bored.The negative: Making a good ending for a movie is one of the hardest things. And I must say, that I did not find it all too satisfying in this case.But apart from that I would really recommend this movie.

and more unsettling and a real sense of wrongness begins to pervade what was supposed to be a perfect romantic getaway in the woods.The film successfully ratchets up the tension over the runtime of 87 minutes, and despite a pretty slow start, delivers a lot by the time of the final credits, leaving you feeling genuinely creeped-out and not entirely sure of what you just witnessed.Honeymoon is that rare beast, a genuinely well-crafted horror movie. The dialogue is genuinely solid, the acting is good, but it's the perfect pacing that really makes this a must-see for any avid horror fans.

judging by the many films that fail in this respect.Although it's pretty obvious from early on, knowing the sub-genre of horror/sci-fi that this film belongs to in advance would remove the mystery element, so I won't mention it directly, but it's fair to say that it's a sub-genre with a strong allegorical heritage. Nonetheless it's still a testament to the elegance of the film that it feels as if there are numerous subtexts at play, in what on the surface is a simple and not especially original psychological horror.I'd be curious as to whether this stands up to a second viewing not possible at the time of writing having caught this at a festival , as it's then that the better films of this type begin to reveal themes, references or other elements that you missed the first time round.I didn't know until afterwards, but the fact that this is writer/director Leigh Janiak's debut feature film is scary in itself. I'm looking forward to seeing what she does next.
