Dark Honeymoon (2008)

You won't be disappointed!

Please don't spend money on this.

Lack of good storyline.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

I loved it. I loved the whole idea of the film, it makes you think twice about getting married, whether you know them a long time or not. Dark Honeymoon has lots of tension that brings a blatant feeling of menace and suspense, which keeps you on the edge of your seat. The flashback sequences are particularly well done and effective and in no way effect the overall tension of the film, which is expertly handled throughout the film by both the cast and director. The fun thing is that after the twist at the end of the film, it makes you think that you have missed something and it makes you want to watch it again. Which is just as exciting as the first time you watched it!

Dark Honeymoon's cast, alone, is impressive. I was very impressed with Lindy Booth and Nick Cornish. I believe this was Roy Scheider's last film and he always delivers. The characters were believable and fascinating. The film itself invites the audience to take part in the confusion, to attempt to discern illusion from reality as if you are looking at a Rorschach test. The film is boldly manipulative, demanding the audience's complete involvement and undivided attention. This is definitely a movie where you have to pay attention the whole time and catch every scene. Believe me it's worth it. If you are a movie fan who likes surprises, I recommend Dark Honeymoon.

Avoid this one like the plague. It runs like a bad lifetime 'thriller of the week'. Instead of Markie Post, we get Lindy Booth eagerly trying to earn a Razzie. At least Nick Cornish is hot and he can act (a little).The plot is boring, the editing is predictable. I'll give them a little credit for the cinematography. The G-list 'stars' appear for a few scenes and disappear. I suspect they were grateful to meet their bloody destiny in order to be spared the suffering of the rest of this dismal film.IF you're going to make a bad movie, at least make it campy or amusing. This is just a badly written and directed thriller without thrills.

If you like intentionally bad movies, this might be your cup of tea.I have a bit of a weakness for inspired camp, especially movies that can walk that fine line between plausible and over the top -- It's a difficult tension to manage, but 'Dark Honeymoon' manages it.Lindy Booth is the real star of this one. Since her debut on the unfortunately short-lived sow,'Oyssey 5', she's made a specialty of playing crazy girlfriends -- sweet on the outside, but a bunch of broken marbles, once you get her home. 'O5','Wrong Turn', 'Cry_Wolf' and here, she plays the batsh#tinsane girlfriend and does a marvelous job with it.What is impressive here is the support that writer-director David O'Malley got here -- Eric Roberts, Darryl Hannah, Tia Carrere and Roy Scheider -- strong almost A-list players, all -- each playing supporting roles in what would otherwise be a cheesy teen-age slasher flick. But the demographic of this flick is just a bit twisted, as the protagonists here, Kathryn and Paul are int their mid- to late-20's, already just a bit out of scope for the usual mall crowd.The other oddity here is the emphasis, if not effort that was put into the music -- though the film has a cheap, raw look to it (think DePalma's 'Sisters') it has a world-class soundtrack that rivals anything executed by Bernard Hermann. The music definitely kicks this movie up 3 notches above whatever dreck it would have been without the efforts of Juan Colomer and his big string section.If you like Lindy and you're a fan of early, Hitchcock-inspired DePalma, this is one that you probably want to investigate, if only for a fun ride.
