Honeymoon (2014) #434



"Honeymoon" is the kind of horror film that grabs your attention and never lets go. This is one of the best horror films I've seen in a while. What makes this movie so great is the way that it introduces you to the two main characters in the beginning, giving you just enough information to feel like you know what kind of people they are without going overboard and boring you with useless details. Then the location changes to where the bulk of the movie takes place, introduces the other characters, and rolls ahead at a perfect pace to the moment when the perfect honeymoon takes a jarring and abrupt turn to the unknown. The chemistry between Rose Leslie and Harry Treadaway is perfect as they come across completely believable as a young newly wed couple, and when things start taking a turn for the worse, you feel so much horror and concern for them. Even though you can see where the story is going and how it might possibly end, the journey there is still one hell of a ride.

"Honeymoon" is the story about Bea and Paul, two newlyweds who embark on their honeymoon at a nice rural cottage on a lake, right before the summer begins. Everything is perfect for the two love birds until they run into and old friend of Bea's at the local restaurant, where they met Annie and Will, both who are acting a little odd. Thinking nothing of it, Bea and Paul return to their cottage to continue their vacation. That night, Paul wakes to find Bea missing; he finds her wandering around in the forest confused and disoriented. He brings her home where she promises him that she's fine, but Paul soon discovers that Bea is far from being fine....
