Simply A Masterpiece

It is a performances centric movie

good back-story, and good acting

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Definitely the most underrated movie on IMDB in my opinion. Most of the bad reviews and ratings are probably from kids and guys expecting a standard zombie movie involving an apocalypse and lots of gore and action. This is none of those things, and it offers so much more for the discerning horror movie fan.It is the perfect blend of romance and horror, and deals with a single zombie: A newly married young guy and the hell that his loving wife must endure while trying to stick with her man who is slowly turning into a monster. The horror as well as the drama builds and builds, making this a true horror movie because it involves people you care about.Everyone delivers a great performance, especially Tracy Coogan in a heartbreaking role, and the writing knows where the proper focus is in this movie. There is even a long, very memorable and disturbing scene of a zombie feeding on people that shows only her reaction and none of the gore, demonstrating the director's vision and superb horror sense. The story is simple, but this is about people, and they all pull it off powerfully.It gets better every time I watch it.

Church bells ring morbidly, but New Jersey newlyweds Tracy Coogan and Graham Sibley (as Denise and Danny Zanders) are very happily married. Bounding out of the church, they take off in their "Just Married" car with Mr. Sibley at the wheel and Ms. Coogan bobbing her head in his lap. The honeymoon goes well, although one kiss does seem like a foreshadowing bite. With a little "Endless Summer" (1966) music, Sibley goes surfing. While the couple relaxes on the beach, an ugly zombie emerges from the ocean. He falls full front on Sibley and spews dark vomit down his throat. It appears like Sibley may die from the encounter. Coogan is happy when her husband miraculously recovers, but the couple faces a zombie challenge...Neatly written and directed by David Gebroe, "Zombie Honeymoon" is essentially a love story. The horror and gore are present, but Mr. Gebroe does not focus on fright. This sort of monster drama recalls the supernatural characters explored by Dan Curtis on TV in "Dark Shadows" and Anne Rice in her "Vampire Lestat" novels. Explicitly, Mr. Gebroe's script identifies being a zombie as "an affliction." The couple must deal with the potentially monstrous condition and make it work in their marriage, or not...Coogan and Sibley perform well and we understand their plight. Still, there is very an audience can invest in their characters. He likes to surf, she likes oral sex and they got married. They like Portugal, too. That's all great, for them. Generally, we are spectators and do not participate in their interests and activities. A couple of exceptions are among Mr. Gebroe's highlights. He intimately opens a scene by panning Coogan's legs as she dozes in her underwear, then discovers her groom sick in the bathroom. In this sequence, we are brought seductively and effectively into the drama. Lastly, near the end of the film, Coogan has a brief, dreamy vision of Sibley which shows a romanticism that should have been part of the story's opening.***** Zombie Honeymoon (10/23/2004) David Gebroe ~ Tracy Coogan, Graham Sibley, Tonya Cornelisse, David M. Wallace

After an accident on their honeymoon, a woman begins to grow concerned about the change in her new husband's' behavior as it grows increasingly obvious he's become a zombie and tries to keep the behavior under control.This was a decidedly bland and quite uninspired effort that rarely feels like a horror film. Among the major factors keeping this down is the fact that the storyline here hardly ever reads as being a true horror film due to the vast majority of scenes in here being really uninteresting due to the vast majority of scenes in here being really uninteresting as one. Since the main focus here is the diet and how that change affects their behavior toward each other, that changeover should've been handled a lot better than it is here due to the absolutely banal ability to wrap everything as if it's simply cut-and-dried of all explanations and based off that simplistic premise. That is where this one tries to build it's horror off of instead of where it really should matter, as for some really inane manner the fact that a vegetarian is suddenly eating raw meat voraciously and continuously without provocation overlooks the fact that a man is slowly decomposing and actively eating people, both of which should be far more pressing matters that are completely overlooked in here. The focus is entirely wrong and the reasoning why this is allowed to go on instead of being reported to the police is simply lame and really furthers how boring the first half is as this is barely interesting anyway. Beyond the reasoning, what makes this so bad is the entire opening of this which really has nothing of interest here as the couple are arguing about their lifestyle or hanging with friends, and very little of that makes for an enjoyable time. They leave so little of this with any kind of enjoyable parts that even if it wasn't as lame and bland as it is the utterly torturous pace here is of much bigger concern here as this is far more uploaded with drama than horror that it has very little chance to make an impression when it does try something. That really only leaves this with two small scenes of interest here, the best being the first attack on the beach which has a pretty disturbing reality to it with the tranquility of the rushing water and the suspense of the slowly-emerging creature from the waves beyond the fine brawl and the gory resolution. As well, the finale assault on the police officers is where all the blood and gore scenes are found in a somewhat energetic sequence which includes the nice stalking down in the darkened living room culminating in the vicious and brutal ambushes where we also get the fine aftermath of the bodies as well. Though the zombie make-up is decent enough, that's all that works here as this one tends to feature more flaws.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a sex scene.

This is the worst film I've ever seen in my life. After seeing the fantastic Shaun of the Dead I thought it would be more of the same, but this is just pathetic. Its not funny, its badly acted, and the score is terrible. I felt dirty after watching it, and I hope nobody I know saw me going into the movie theatre.If you want to see a true "romzomcom" watch Shaun of the Dead, its far superior. The humour is brilliant, though it may be too deep for American viewers. Much like the UK version of The Office, most of the jokes are quite subtle, not "in your face". Shaun of the Dead also contains many cool references to other movies and TV shows, which are great fun to look out for and test your knowledge. Many comments or actions in the movie foreshadow events at the end of the movie, and spotting these is good fun too.
