Waste of time

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

I wasn't familiar with the movie "Honeymoon" prior to finding it by sheer random luck. I read through the synopsis and it sounded like something that could prove interesting. And the movie also had Rose Leslie in it, and that could prove to be a plus.Right, well, I managed to endure 40 minutes of this ordeal of a movie. And nothing of any worth or interest happened in that 40 minutes, so I just gave up on the movie out of sheer and utter boredom."Honeymoon" has a very small cast, so they had to perform quite well in order to carry the movie and they did nicely enough. But they had nothing to work with in terms of script or storyline.This was a very uneventful and very boring movie.I have absolutely no intention of returning to watch the rest of the movie, because there was zero appeal in this movie for me.

Fantastic acting and writing. Delivers powerful and emotional performances. I agree that it was slow paced and the director could have shaved some time off in the middle, but the ending is worth it. I would love to see what the cast and crew do next.

This movie is not for everyone. It's got a 73% on rotten tomatoes and a 57% here, and I completely understand why. Some people will love this movie and others will hate it. It's just one of those movies.There's a lot to like about honeymoon. It's very well directed and very well acted, which is extremely important because there's really only two characters. It also maintains a really good level of mystery for almost the entirety of its run time. However, as many reviewers here have pointed out, this movie's slow. And, it's a slow burn. It's a slow moving psychological movie, and some people like that and others don't.I guess the closest thing I can compare it to is The Witch and if you like movies that are slow paced, well acted, psychological, and claustrophobic thrillers like The Witch, then you'll like this. If you don't, then don't watch it. However, there is one glaring flaw that even this movies most die hard of fans must acknowledge. It's ending. This movie is a slow burn, and those movies work a lot better with a satisfying ending. Honeymoons ending really isn't that. It's confusing, and a lot of things in this movie are, but they are in the right way. A slightly confusing ending that doesn't quite clear everything up isn't the right kind of confusing. It's not because, well, it's the ending. If you're confused too bad, and that is this movies big flaw. It doesn't have a good payoff. If it had, I'd have loved it. But it doesn't. And as it stands it's an enjoyable movie if you're into movies like it, but if you're not... It's well made, well acted and well executed, but I just can't guarantee you'll enjoy it.

HONEYMOON is a dreadful low budget US horror film about marital strife which becomes pronounced when the wife undergoes a mysterious transformation after encountering something in the woods. Although both characters are supposed to be American, they're played by British actors in the form of Harry Treadaway and Rose Leslie.This is the film's main fault. Treadaway and Leslie in particular really struggle with their American accents which sounded false to this British viewer. I couldn't believe them for a second, and the lack of believability thus makes this a real chore to sit through. It doesn't help that the film is full of lovey dovey stuff for the first half and then characters screaming at each other for the second. So vomit inducing followed by headache inducing, then.The film is padded out with endless conversations and sex scenes which add nothing to the plot. When the horror arises, it's very predictable, so the film-makers concentrate on the gross-out rather than genuinely horrific. Some scenes in this came close to making me feel queasy, and the end result is ultimately depressing. Add that the characters are truly obnoxious (Leslie is extremely uncomfortable and a long way from filling her role like she did in GAME OF THRONES while Treadaway has a truly obnoxious character) and you have a film that is, in a word, dreadful.
