Review: Honeymoon is a one of those slash movies - horror, slash, thriller, slash, supernatural.A wonderfully in love couple are newlyweds and on their Honeymoon in the wifes familys cabin in Canada. One night the wife, Bea, sleep walks into the forest and is found confused and disoriented. Her husband, Paul, suspects something is different, but he could never imagine the dark turn of events while on his honeymoon.Honeymoon has just four actors in the entire movie, two of which are incredibly minor. The entirety of the movie features the leads, portrayed by Rose Leslie and Harry Treadaway. A fair amount of time is devoted to fleshing out the honeymooning couples relationship at the start of the film. The acting of the lovebird characters is remarkably natural and unforced, the audience gets the sense they are truly and intimately connected. Partially explained by the direction and writing allowing for minute details to naturally exist in the relationship, but also to the chemistry between the actors. This time invested is necessary because if you do not believe that Bea and Paul truly know and care for one another then they will not notice the nuanced changes during the remainder of the film.Once Bea is discovered in the forest, alone in the middle of the night, the film is no longer a blissful honeymoon but an unnerving nightmare. The gradual change within Bea and the relationship was cohesive and reasonably organic, with the exception of the initial discovery of Bea by Paul on the fateful sleepwalking night. The director Leigh Janiak never reveals or foreshadows too much about the direction of the plot to expose the films outcome.The resolution will be frustrating to some for several questions remain unanswered and ambiguous. The conclusion is consistent with the film but is not satisfying enough to give closure.Find more full reviews at our website. |
